Collaborative Innovation in Sustainable Agriculture

In a bid to tackle food system challenges, Indika Nature joined forces with Krakakoa, a trailblazer in sustainable chocolate production in Indonesia. Recognizing Indika Nature’s expertise in land management, Krakakoa envisions expanding agroforestry practices and promoting large-scale sustainable land use. This partnership follows Krakakoa’s merger with Slow Forest Coffee, a leading ethical coffee producer, aimed at revolutionizing the global food system. Leveraging agroforestry expertise and social commitments, both companies strive to drive sustainable benefits for climate, biodiversity, and farmers’ livelihoods.

Leonardus Herwindo, CEO of Indika Nature, emphasized, “Through this collaboration and the innovative merger of Krakakoa and Slow Forest Coffee, we harness agroforestry expertise and social commitments to revolutionize our regenerative farming system. These actions will yield benefits for the climate, biodiversity, and farmers’ livelihoods.”

Krakakoa, Slow Forest Coffee, and Indika Energy have united to establish a transformative ecosystem, promoting sustainable chocolate production, ethical coffee cultivation, and responsible land management, thereby addressing food system challenges. This heralds a new era of global cooperation, showcasing how visionary Indonesian companies can unite to reshape humanity’s relationship with the planet while preserving Indonesia’s natural diversity in the fight against climate change.

The merger between Krakakoa and Slow Forest Coffee, bolstered by investments from Indika Energy and others, signifies the fusion of the Global South and Global North in pursuit of a sustainable future. With a diverse executive team spanning Indonesia and Europe, the new company underscores the power of international collaboration and its dedication to global sustainability.
