Exploring the Role of Market Openness in Transitioning to a Sustainable Agri-food System

Indonesia's agricultural sector has been a cornerstone of economic growth, lifting millions from extreme poverty. However, the path forward demands change: the very sector that empowers millions now faces significant challenges, including climate change, unsustainable practices, and inefficiencies within the food supply chain—threatening livelihoods and food security for many.

Navigating these challenges makes it clear that a transition to sustainable, resilient agriculture is not just necessary, but urgent. To explore how Indonesia can reshape its policies and programs to protect food systems, empower producers, and meet climate commitments, join a talk show hosted by the Center for Indonesian Policy Studies titled “Can Market Openness Help Transition to a Sustainable Agri-food System?”

Our Co-Founder, Ainu Rofiq, will discuss the current state of Indonesia's agri-food system, the challenges it faces, and the roles of both government and private sector intervention. He will also share insights on how market openness can facilitate the transition to a sustainable food system, offering the private sector's perspective on driving sustainability within Indonesia's agri-food sector.
