PROJECT TITLE

Leveraging Finance to Scale Up Climate-Resilient Food Systems

Context

Indonesia’s food system is constrained by climate vulnerability, declining agricultural productivity, fragmented governance, and significant inequality across rural communities. Smallholder farmer, especially women and youth, face barriers to finance, technology, and markets. Food loss and waste persist across value chains, dietary diversity remains limited, and environmental degradation continues in key commodities. The Joint Programme promotes integrated territorial approaches to climate smart production, inclusive finance, value chain upgrading, and strengthened district level governance, complementing national strategies under the national food systems pathway and climate commitments.
