Indonesia
VECO Indonesia contribute to viable livelihoods of organised family farmers (male and female) by supporting the development of sustainable agriculture chains (SACD) of agricultural products in Indonesia. This includes the different aspects of agricultural chains: production, processing, marketing until consumer purchase.
VECO Indonesia focuses its support within the agricultural chain towards the use of innovative sustainable agricultural practices for production, value adding of agricultural products directly benefiting family farmers and improved access to markets, and stimulating consumers to purchase products from sustainable agriculture chains.
Furthermore, VECO Indonesia supports advocacy to policy influencing at local, national and international level which favours the position of the organised farmers practicing sustainable agriculture. In its work, VECO Indonesia puts special effort in involving the younger generation of farmers, promoting gender as an integral part of agricultural practices and reconciling traditional and 'modern' knowledge and practices.
