Guided by its mission to enrich lives, Corteva Agriscience Indonesia is dedicated to empowering farmers, fostering food security, and promoting sustainability.
Through collaborative programs focused on climate resilience, community development, and agricultural innovation, Corteva supports the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and fosters sustainable practices to secure Indonesia’s agricultural future.
In Medan City and Simalungun Regency in North Sumatra, Corteva’s Inclusive Climate Change Adaptation and Literacy Program equips farmers and students with the tools to address climate challenges. The initiative includes the Edufarm Learning Expo, which enhances agricultural knowledge for 20 local farmers and trains 15 government officials on climate adaptation. In schools, the program promotes clean sanitation habits by building bathrooms and providing handwashing facilities, benefiting over 373 students and employees from two local schools. Additionally, the ecoprinting workshops have introduced innovative, sustainable practices to help local communities develop new revenue streams.
Corteva also plays a vital role in food security through its partnership with Rise Against Hunger. In Malang, East Java, Corteva mobilized 72 volunteers to package 50,000 nutritious meals, distributing essential food supplies to families in need. This effort not only supported vulnerable communities but also showcased Corteva’s commitment to addressing hunger and malnutrition.
Furthermore, the company’s Empowering Women and Youth program in Semangat Village focuses on promoting agricultural innovation and economic independence. By supporting 25 women and youth farmers, and collaborating with 60 local government officials, the initiative has fostered creativity and independence among participants, helping them contribute to their households and communities. This program has indirectly impacted 1,000 beneficiaries, driving both economic and social progress.
