Description

Permaculture and organic farming assistance


Why does the innovation or project matter?

Tri Hita Karana Bali was founded by I Made Chakra Widia to counter the negative environmental impact of the so-called “Green Revolution”, which was a set of initiatives sponsored by the Indonesian government in the 1950’s and 60’s to increase crop yields using harmful pesticides. Many farmers are still using unsustainable amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and, despite living in one of the most beautiful regions of the world, there is little awareness of the environmental impact of non-biodegradable waste.


How do you or your team know that the innovation or project is working (or making a positive contribution)?

Farmers can adopt sustainable farming systems


What has contributed to the innovation or project working?

We carry out SRI (System of Rice Intensification) and use efficient raised vegetable beds and water catchment systems to minimise erosion and wastage. We also encourage the use of bio-fertiliser and compost.


What else would help the innovation or project be more successful?

Local government support to provide understanding to the community about the importance of sustainable agriculture


Is the innovation or project self-sustaining? If not, what needs to be done for that to happen?

Can, by carrying out education in a sustainable manner, encourage more people to implement sustainable agricultural patterns


What Balinese value does this initiative invoke?
