Highlight 1
Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) sta ted that the world’s population would exceed 9 billion people by the year 2050. This would consequently increase the need for food in the world.
However, to fulfill domestic food needs, Indonesia is still im-porting several commodities, such as fresh milk. Referring to the data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), in 2014 Indonesia imported 4.5 million liters of milk per day.
The difficulty to self-sustain in fulfilling domestic food needs is affected by many things. Population growth, as well as other factors such as the decrease of soil fertility; not enough ag-ricultural land for extensification; limited water supply; and global climate change – are all challenges to achieve food self-sufficiency in this country.
Despite all that, we must put all efforts so that we can fulfill our domestic food needs, independently.
In overcoming such complex challenges, we realize that we need to cooperate with other stakeholders, particularly those who are involved in the ag-ricultural sectors – be it the go-vernment as the regulator, as well as the other stakeholders in the industry, including the farmers, suppliers, and the in-dustry.
One of the global forums es-tablished to accommodate this stakeholders’ cooperation is
the World Economic Forum (WEF). In 2009, the WEF partners launched the New Vision of Agriculture initiative. There are three main pillars that the NVA are based on: 1) food security; 2) environmental sustainability; and 3) economic opportunity.
Nestlé actively participates in the forum, both in the global and regional level, to help ensure supplies of raw material and quality of products.
One of Nestlé’s commitments in Indonesia is its active role and full support in establishing the Partnership for Indonesia’s Sustain-able Agriculture (PISAgro), a collaboration platform for govern-ment and private sector in agriculture, in 2011. Moreover, in the ASEAN level, Nestlé also takes part in initiating Grow Asia in 2014.
Aimed to create food security in Indonesia, PISAgro is a part-nership forum that involves government, starting from the
Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of In-dustry, to Ministry of Finance. Nestlé Indonesia,
along with Sinar Mas, leads the forum that has now grown rapidly with 23 mem-
ber companies and organizations. Nestlé’s involvement in those forums is part of the 38 com-
mitments of Creating Shared Value that was launched glo-bally earlier this year. Nestlé hopes that good partner-ship with the government, the farmers, as well as other industry players will help us achieve food self-sufficiency.
Public Private PartnershiP for food Self-Sufficiency
Profile2
With 10 member countries, ASEAN is home for 600 million people. This regional association is the 8th largest economy in the world. Even so, one third of ASEAN’s populations are among
the less privileged. Food security remains an issue and a con-stant threat.
With this background, the World Economic Forum New Vi-sion of Agriculture (WEF NVA), together with the ASEAN Secre-tariat established the Grow Asia forum.
This forum was officially launched in Manila, the Philippines, in May 2014, with full support from each member countries’ government, Grow Asia Business Council and Grow Asia Civil Society Council. Moreover, this forum also cooperates with the farmers, international organization, donors, as well as other stakeholders.
In April 2015, Grow Asia held its second annual meeting in Jakarta, along with the WEF on East Asia. With the theme A New Model for Collaboration, this forum discussed about how Grow Asia can help ASEAN farmers to increase their competi-tiveness, productivity, and access to finance and market.
On the forum opening, Indonesia’s Minister of Agriculture, Andi Amran Sulaiman emphasized the importance of a strong regional partnership between the government and the private sector. Moreover, he also stated that synergy between govern-ment and the private sector is imperative to achieve a sustain-able agricultural development in a long term. Therefore, the farmers’ welfare would also improve.
Nestlé S.A. is one of the Co-Chairs in Grow Asia. In this year’s meeting, Nestlé S.A. was represented by PT Nestlé Indonesia’s President Director Rashid Qureshi.
Grow Asia is a multi-stakeholder partnership platform that enables such
collaboration and catalyzes action in support of national and regional
agriculture development priorities of the Association of South East Asian
Nations (ASEAN) comprising Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR,
Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Myanmar.

Student Farming is a program for elementary students to get into the habits of farming and take benefits of home-grown vegetables. This program is part of the Environment Educa-
tion program from Nestlé Healthy Kids that began in early 2015 in Kejayan, East Java. Furthermore, Student Farming program is aimed to develop awareness and knowledge among students about health and the en-vironment.
This year, the program was first held on March 24, at SD WRATI 2 Kejayan. During the program, students received knowledge about water cycle and the impor-tance of water in our life. Following that, they planted trees and created biopore holes so that they get a di-rect experience in preserving water.

Sutrisno, the principal of SD WRATI 2 Kejayan, was very en-thusiastic about this activity. “This program is very good and beneficial for the students. In particular, this program will have positive impact on the students in improving their understand-ing about the benefits of farming and water preservation.”
“We would like to extend our appreciation to the school who has actively proposed this program. I hope that this pro-gram could have a positive impact on the students and our employees,” stated Kejayan Factory Manager Eko Sugiarto.
As many as 145 students, including the teachers and staffs became volunteers in this activity. Eko Sugiarto hoped that this program could also help build loyalty and improving employees’ involvement in giving real contribution to the society. Let’s Make Nestlé Exemplary!

The abundance of rainfall could be used to increase groundwater preserva-tion. How do we do it?
One way to do it is through biopore holes.
As part of our contribution to help preserve the environment, par-ticularly water supply, as many as 50 Nestlé employees at Karawang factory created 200 biopore holes together, on April 10. They came from different departments, among others are MILO, Infant Cereal, Dairy (Egron 5), Warehouse, Engineering.
By creating biopore holes around the area of Infant CEREAL and MILO Plants, the issue of water puddle that keeps reoccurring during rainy season can now be resolved. The biopore holes are able to help the water absorption process during rainy days so that the groundwater preservation capacity in the plant area could be maintained.
All participants were very enthu-siastic about this activity and hope for more “fun” activities to come. Therefore, the CSV team is plan-ning to organize the same ac-tivity to achieve the target of 1,000 biopore holes until the
