Sejak dua tahun terakhir, Kopernik telah bekerja sama dengan lebih dari 200 petani kecil dan pelaku agribisnis mikro dalam merevitalisasi praktik pertanian adat, mempromosikan pangan lokal yang beragam dan bergizi, serta memanfaatkan teknologi yang efektif untuk membangun sistem pangan yang tangguh dan mandiri di Timor Barat. Tahun ini, kami sangat senang karena kembali terpilih sebagai salah satu penerima Seeding The Future Growth Grant 2024 dari Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) melalui program Seeding The Future Global Food System Challenge.

Dengan dukungan ini, kami akan menguji coba Sentra Pangan Lokal di SoE, Timor Tengah Selatan, untuk menghubungkan hasil pertanian regeneratif dari para petani dan pelaku agribisnis mikro dengan pasar yang lebih luas. Harapannya, sentra ini dapat meningkatkan akses pasar, menguji potensi keberlanjutan ekonominya, serta terus mempromosikan peran penting pertanian adat regeneratif dalam memperluas akses komunitas terhadap makanan bergizi dan membangun sistem pangan yang berkelanjutan serta adaptif terhadap perubahan iklim.

Our Solutions Lab and Advisory Services team recently joined a series of impactful field visits and regional workshops in Thailand, as part of the HEAL-HAZE and CANBREATHE collaborations, a groundbreaking initiative led by the HEAL Global Research Centre and funded by the Wellcome Trust.

Bringing together partners from Thailand, Laos, Indonesia, and Australia, the project aims to develop innovative tools to communicate the health impacts of bushfires and smoke pollution, especially for vulnerable groups like Indigenous communities, pregnant women, and children. By combining climate modeling, health data, and storytelling, CANBREATHE seeks to raise awareness and drive action.

During the workshop, Oscar Casalderrey, Managing Director of Advisory Services at Kopernik, shared lessons learned from our air quality projects and introduced plans for new experiments within HEAL-HAZE and CANBREATHE.

This gathering also helped strengthen connections with partners across Southeast Asia—from Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, to Indonesia and Australia. More updates are coming soon as we continue working together for healthier, more climate-resilient communities!

Beberapa waktu lalu, tim Kopernik mengunjungi fasilitas baru Magi Farm, salah satu inisiatif spin-off kami yang berfokus pada pengelolaan limbah makanan berkelanjutan.

Ruang baru ini empat kali lebih besar dari fasilitas sebelumnya dan mendukung operasi yang lebih terintegrasi, termasuk produksi maggot lalat tentara hitam (black soldier fly/BSF), ruang kantor, dan area untuk kunjungan edukatif. Dengan perluasan ini, Magi Farm menargetkan untuk mengolah hingga 400 ton limbah makanan per tahun pada 2025, meningkat dari 110 ton pada tahun lalu.

Kami senang melihat Magi Farm terus berkembang dan berkontribusi pada sistem pangan yang lebih tangguh dan berkelanjutan.

A few weeks ago, the Kopernik team visited the new facility of Magi Farm, one of our spin-off initiatives focused on sustainable food waste management.

The new space is four times larger than the previous one and supports more integrated operations, including black soldier fly (BSF) maggot production, office space, and an area for educational visits. With this expansion, Magi Farm aims to process up to 400 tons of food waste annually by 2025, up from 110 tons last year.

We’re excited to see Magi Farm continue to grow and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable food system.

Happy !

In collaboration with smallholder cacao farmers in Bali and Papua, Kopernik has been working to improve post-harvest practices for cacao that are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and limit the value farmers can gain from their crops. One such innovation is the Cacao Pod Breaker—a mechanical tool designed to offer a faster and safer alternative to the traditional machete method of separating beans from the pods, reducing the risk of injury while maintaining bean quality.

In addition to the pod breaker, Kopernik has also introduced solar drying technology and improved fermentation boxes, which significantly enhance the efficiency and hygiene of the drying process. These innovations help protect cacao beans from rain and contaminants, reduce drying time and ensure proper fermentation—crucial for flavor development and bean quality. As a result, farmers are not only able to work more safely and efficiently but also earn a higher price for their beans. Together, these solutions are helping build a more sustainable and rewarding future for cacao farming in Indonesia.

Tim kami baru saja mengikuti Partners Learning Workshop yang diselenggarakan oleh Investing in Women () di Manila, bersama mitra organisasi lain dari Indonesia, Filipina, dan Vietnam.

Selama tiga hari sesi, kami berkesempatan untuk memperkenalkan GenSet – Generasi Setara (.setara), sekaligus membagikan berbagai temuan dan pembelajaran dari inisiatif yang telah kami jalankan selama satu tahun terakhir. Kami juga terlibat dalam pertukaran pemikiran yang bermakna dengan para mitra lain yang sama-sama berkomitmen mempromosikan kesetaraan gender dan mendobrak norma-norma peran tradisional.

Melalui kegiatan ini, kami belajar, mendengarkan, dan berefleksi bersama. Kami berharap pengalaman ini dapat memperkuat upaya kami dalam menginspirasi sikap positif terhadap kesetaraan di kalangan anak muda Indonesia—dengan memperluas percakapan tentang isu gender dan inklusivitas, serta mendorong perubahan nyata dalam persepsi, sikap, dan perilaku.

Our team recently joined the Investing in Women () Partners Learning Workshop in Manila alongside other partner organizations from Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

During this three day workshop, we had the opportunity to showcase GenSet – Generasi Setara (.setara), sharing key insights and learnings from our year-long initiative. We also engaged in meaningful exchanges with other partners, each committed to promoting gender equality and breaking traditional gender norms.

Through this workshop, we learned, listened, and reflected together. We hope this experience will help us strengthen our efforts to inspire positive attitudes toward equality among young Indonesians—amplifying conversations on gender and inclusivity, and driving lasting shifts in perceptions, attitudes, and behavior.

Sejak kunjungan pertama kami ke Pulau Osi, kolaborasi antara komunitas lokal, YASI, dan tim Kopernik telah memasuki fase baru yang menggembirakan. Para petani setempat mulai membeli bibit rumput laut, sementara tim kami di Bali tengah mengembangkan rumah pengering bertenaga surya yang dilengkapi teknologi IoT untuk mendukung upaya mereka.

Rumah pengering ini dirancang untuk memastikan proses pengeringan rumput laut, ikan, dan hasil laut lainnya berlangsung efisien dan konsisten. Dengan ventilasi pintar serta sensor untuk memantau suhu dan kelembapan, sistem ini membantu menjaga kualitas produk dalam berbagai kondisi cuaca.

Solusi berbasis IoT ini juga memungkinkan pemantauan secara real-time, sehingga petani bisa merespons dengan cepat terhadap perubahan lingkungan. Ini merupakan langkah penting menuju dukungan berkelanjutan berbasis teknologi untuk penghidupan masyarakat pesisir.

Since our first visit to Pulau Osi, the collaboration between the local community, YASI, and the Kopernik team has entered an exciting new phase. Local farmers have started purchasing seaweed seedlings, while our team in Bali has been developing a solar-powered drying house equipped with IoT technology to support their efforts.

The drying house is designed to ensure efficient and consistent drying of seaweed, fish, and other marine products. With smart ventilation, and sensors to monitor temperature and humidity, the system helps maintain product quality in all weather conditions.

This IoT-based solution also enables real-time monitoring, allowing farmers to respond quickly to environmental changes. It’s a meaningful step toward sustainable, tech-enabled support for coastal livelihoods!

Kopernik baru-baru ini berpartisipasi dalam Forum Koordinasi Pengelolaan Daerah Aliran Sungai Provinsi Bali (ForDAS Bali) untuk mendukung penyusunan regulasi Pembayaran Jasa Lingkungan (PJL) yang berfokus pada pengelolaan sumber daya air di Bali.

Melanjutkan diskusi sebelumnya terkait sumur resapan dan agroforestri regeneratif, forum ini juga menjadi ruang untuk menjaring masukan dari berbagai pemangku kepentingan. Seluruh masukan tersebut kini telah dirangkum dalam draft awal regulasi PJL, yang ditargetkan rampung pada akhir bulan ini.

Kolaborasi ini menjadi langkah penting menuju tata kelola lingkungan yang lebih adil dan berkelanjutan.

Kopernik recently participated in the Watershed Management Coordination Forum of Bali Province (ForDAS Bali) to support the development of a Payment for Environmental Services (PES) regulation focused on water resource management in Bali.

Building on previous discussions on recharge wells and regenerative agroforestry, the forum also helped gather input from a wide range of stakeholders. These contributions have since been compiled into a working draft of the PES regulation, which is expected to be finalized by the end of this month.

This collaboration marks an important step toward more just and sustainable environmental governance.
