Program Pertanian Berkelanjutan Cikananga (PPBC)
Welcome to the Program Pertanian Berkelanjutan Cikananga (PPBC) – Cikananga Sustainability Farming Program. Empowering Regenerative Agriculture for a Sustainable Future.
The PPBC Program is dedicated to sustainable agriculture practices that support local communities, preserve natural resources, and contribute to wildlife conservation in Indonesia.
How did the Sustainability Program begin?
The Cikananga Sustainability Farming Program (PPBC) was founded by Scott Hartle in 2020 and embodies a holistic and multifaceted approach to regenerative agriculture.
Scott is a conservation biologist, with proven experience in research development, project management and field research. To date, most of his experience relates to biodiversity in human-modified landscapes. He is devoted to understanding the impact of human-modified landscapes on biodiversity but also the role they play in conservation. His primary focus areas include multifunctional land management, sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation.
Scott; “I am adamant that we can develop and foster land-use practices that provide communities with sustainable livelihoods, whilst conserving local and regional biodiversity”.
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote sustainable food systems that protect biodiversity and foster ecological balance. Through regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and eco-friendly farming practices, we work to create a positive impact on both local communities and the environment.
Program Highlights
- Regenerative Agriculture: We use regenerative farming methods to restore soil health, increase biodiversity, and ensure long-term sustainability for our crops and local ecosystems.
- Agroforestry: By integrating trees into our farming landscapes, we enhance soil quality, protect water resources, and create habitats that support diverse wildlife.
- Education and Community Involvement: Our program includes training and educational workshops for local farmers, students, and international participants. We focus on sustainable farming techniques that benefit both people and nature.
Our Sustainable Practices
Biodiversity Protection: We create safe habitats that support wildlife within and beyond our farming areas, fostering an environment where nature and agriculture can thrive together.
Soil Health & Management: We implement crop rotation, cover cropping, and composting to improve soil fertility and resilience.
Water Conservation: Our irrigation systems are designed to minimize water usage, supporting responsible water management in agricultural practices.
