Danone, its Ecosystem Fund, and the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF), and other partners have joined forces in Indonesia to protect the threatened Rejoso watershed. Various nature-based solutions have been employed to improve water conditions, mitigate flood risks, and minimize erosion. Based on several scientific studies conducted with universities, the focus lies on climate-smart rice production practices and more efficient water use, as well as reducing illegal groundwater drilling. The objective of the project is to widely introduce, pilot, and upscale climate smart rice paddy cultivation practices among smallholders in the downstream of Rejoso watershed.
