Smallholder farmers play a crucial role in combating deforestation driven by commodity production. While much focus has been on large plantations and global supply chains, smallholders grow significant amounts of key crops like coffee, cocoa, and natural rubber. Despite their importance, they often lack support for conservation and face pressure to clear forests for farming.
To address this, the HCSA has developed a Simplified Smallholder Toolkit, tested in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, over 27,000 hectares. This toolkit helps smallholders implement deforestation-free practices and protect their forests, aligning with regulations and emission reduction goals. It includes a practical, step-by-step guide and is available online in English and Indonesian. This approach, while tailored to Indonesia, offers adaptable ideas for other regions and crops.
