Think Climate Indonesia : final report

Abstract

Indonesia faces significant food security challenges, but policies to address these challenges may come at the expense of forest ecosystems. The Social Forestry (SF) program provides a potential solution to synergize forest conservation and food security objectives in Indonesia by allowing local communities to manage and protect the local forests. However, there is limited evidence on how the synergy is realized within the SF implementation on the ground. Through IDRC’s Think Climate Indonesia project, WRI Indonesia aims to fill this knowledge gap by investigating community based practices, efforts, and challenges in line with the pathways connecting forest conservation and food security in three SF sites in Riau, Indonesia.
