Coffee can also thrive in the shade of rainforest trees. The idea behind this is social forestry: not only the forest, but also the smallholders, should benefit.<\/p>\n<p>In the first project phase, planting had already begun. In the second phase the groups received support in professionalising.

They sold young coffee plants and candlenut trees, among other things, to the smallholder groups and at nearby markets.<\/p>\n<p>The second phase was intended to enable them to generate a lasting income from this.

There they learned, for example, how to replace conventional fertiliser with organic fertiliser. Instead of buying expensive chemicals, they can use materials that are often already available locally, such as goat urine or empty fruit bunches. This improves soil fertility and thus, in the long term, the growth of the palms and ultimately also the yields. Smallholders put the concepts into practice on demonstration plantations.<\/p>\n<p>In the second project phase the training continued: in addition to smallholders in Tanjung Jabung Barat, 200 producers in Tebo received training in more resilient cultivation methods.<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n        \n              <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-text wp-block-acf-text\">\n      <section class=\"block-section pt-(--spacing-section-lg) pb-(--spacing-section-lg) bg-surface\"\n  data-background=\"surface\">\n    <div class=\"container-default\">\n          <div class=\"flex flex-col gap-6 max-w-(--container-narrow)\">\n          <h2 class=\"text-h2 c-heading text-left\">Project partners collected GPS data<\/h2>\n    \n          <div class=\"rich-text\">\n        <p>Setara Jambi also collected information about growers in their project regions.

To change this, Koltiva came on board in the second phase, a cooperation partner from the completed <a href=\"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/mitgliederprojekt-malaysia\/\">members&#8217; project in Malaysia<\/a>. Using the GDPR-compliant KoltiTrace system, GPS data of the smallholders were collected as part of the project. This not only helped in planning future interventions, but also simplified the traceability of the palm oil produced. That is an important prerequisite for complying with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and thus for market access in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>You can find more videos from the project on our<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    \n          <div class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-4\">\n                              <a class=\"btn inline-flex items-center font-bold transition-colors duration-150 btn--primary btn--lg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@forumnachhaltigespalmolfon1769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n        <span class=\"btn__inner\">\n      YouTube channel\n          <\/span>\n          <span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in a new tab)<\/span>\n      <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-993","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/993\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
