Sustainable Farming in Tropical Asian Landscape Final Project Summary Indonesia

This final brief presents an overview of SFITAL’s key contributions to sustainable cocoa and palm-oil landscapes in Indonesia. It synthesises lessons from implementation, highlights success stories from farmers and local governments and outlines the pathways through which these models can be scaled and institutionalised. As countries across Southeast Asia seek to reconcile economic development with environmental sustainability and social equity, SFITAL offers a practical, field-tested framework for inclusive landscape transformation.
The Sustainable Farming in Tropical Asian Landscapes (SFITAL) programme, coordinated by the World Agroforestry (ICRAF) and funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), was designed to address the persistent challenges facing smallholder tree-crop farming systems in Southeast Asia. With a focus on Indonesia and the Philippines.
