Through the Focus Group Discussion (FGD), “Identifying Strategic Opportunities in Indonesia’s Agricultural Ecosystem,” AYANA and SBM ITB brought together stakeholders from across sectors to explore agricultural challenges not only as technical issues, but also as structural challenges increasingly exacerbated by the impacts of climate change.

The discussion highlighted a shared vision: agricultural transformation must place farmers at the center as key drivers of change. This vision serves as the foundation for Desa Berdaya, Tani Amanah, an initiative that promotes local leadership and collaboration rooted in the values of amanah (trust and responsibility) and gotong royong (mutual cooperation) to build a more resilient and sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
