The lack of holistic strategies, primarily marked by the weak connection between upstream and downstream industries, has hampered Indonesia’s efforts to create inclusive, sustainable and resilient food production systems.
This is the conclusion of a research study called Food Systems Analysis in Indonesia jointly conducted by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), as well as Bogor Agricultural University (IPB University).
It was disseminated during a JakPost Spotlight webinar titled Building Inclusive, Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems in Indonesia on Friday, Dec. 11 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Hosted by The Jakarta Post, the webinar featured Bappenas food and agricultural director Anang Noegroho, FAO Indonesia representative ad interim Richard Trenchard and research study team leader Drajat Martianto.
