Better Incomes and Better Food Through Greenhouse Investments

We invest in climate-proof greenhouses that help small farmers in Indonesia earn 2–3 times more and grow healthy, pesticide-free food.

The Problem

Impact of Climate Change on People and Food Production

Farmers

Many Small Farmers

Indonesia has 29 million small farmers, and their livelihoods are under growing pressure.

Climate Change

Unpredictable Harvests

Erratic weather patterns make harvests unpredictable and put crop yields at risk.

Crops

Toxicity of Open-Field Crops

Open-field farming relies heavily on chemical pesticides and fertilizers, leaving more toxic residues in our food.

Solution

Climate-Smart Greenhouses

We invest in innovative, scalable greenhouses that give farmers a higher and more stable income through sustainable farming.

Climate-Proof Production

Greenhouses buffer crops against climate volatility. By managing temperature, humidity and shelter, they protect plants from erratic weather for more reliable harvests.

Higher & Stable Farmer Incomes

Year-round production of premium-quality crops lets farmers harvest more often and sell at better prices, leading to incomes 2–3 times higher than traditional farming.

Sustainable & Resource-Efficient

Better for the planet: greenhouse farming uses significantly less water and fertilizer and protects soil health by moving away from intensive open-field practices.

Healthy, Pesticide-Free Food

The controlled environment keeps most pests out, removing the need for chemical pesticides. The result is safer, cleaner, higher-quality food.

Positive Impact

Returns for Farmers and Society

Transforms Farmer Livelihoods

Stable, year-round incomes that help farmers earn 2–3 times more.

Sustainable Development Goals

Greenhouse Farming supports 5 UN Sustainable Development Goals

Our greenhouse investments do more than raise farm incomes. They contribute directly to five of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, from ending poverty to climate action.

SDG 1 · No Poverty
SDG 8 · Decent Work

Improves Rural Livelihoods

Year-round harvests give small farmers higher, more stable incomes and create decent local jobs in rural communities.

SDG 2 · Zero Hunger

Ensures Food Security

Reliable greenhouse production adds nutritious food to Indonesia’s supply all year round, whatever the weather.

SDG 12 · Responsible Production

Promotes Responsible Production

Measured use of water and fertilizer, and no need for chemical pesticides, means less waste and cleaner food.

SDG 13 · Climate Action

Builds Climate Resilience

Protected growing shields crops from erratic weather, helping farming communities adapt to a changing climate.

Projects

Greenhouse Projects in Indonesia

We help farmers build stable, sustainable livelihoods by introducing climate-smart greenhouse technology that boosts productivity, reduces risk, and creates long-term income security.
