We're thrilled to announce that Earthworm Foundation has partnered with Apical, a leading vegetable oil processor and Indonesia’s largest exporter of palm oil and the East Kutai District Government to work together in Apical's Sustainable Living Village (SLV) program in East Kutai, Kalimantan in Indonesia. This initiative aims to bring lasting environmental and social change by supporting over 16,200 community members in sustainable agriculture, forest #conservation, #cacao cultivation, and economic resilience. 🌱   Through this collaboration, we aim to equip smallholders with the tools to adopt sustainable practices, diversify their livelihoods, and restore vital ecosystems. Together, we aim to conserve 10,000 hectares of land and plant 90,000 trees over the next five years! 🌍🌳   💡 Learn more about how this partnership aims to make a difference in the #palmoil sector: https://lnkd.in/deGVT6_d

✨ Sometimes, addressing a problem differently can lead to unexpected and beneficial outcomes. Over 20 years ago, our founder, Scott Poynton and his team embarked on a mission to redefine conservation and community relations. Perhutani, Indonesia’s state-owned Teak Corporation, had lost its #FSC certificates due to rampant illegal logging and violence. 💡Earthworm proposed a radical solution - remove all 4,000 semi-automatic weapons from the forests and encourage cooperation between rangers and disenfranchised communities. Nine years later (indeed, these things take time) - the FSC certificates were reinstated, the guns were locked away, and peace had taken root. This story is a testament to Earthworm’s DNA—a commitment to addressing the root causes and fostering long-term, sustainable relationships and solutions. Today, Earthworm Foundation continues Scott's legacy, working in that difficult place between different perspectives to bring about #transformation and placing people and nature at the heart of every #solution. 🎥 Watch the video to understand the roots of our dedication to creating positive change: https://lnkd.in/dup7SJ2A #EarthwormTurns25 #ResponsibleSourcing

💡Did you know? From 2016 to 2023, the Cacao Forest Project supported 35 Dominican producers in innovating sustainable cocoa agroforestry practices. This initiative targeted over 1,900 producers, boosting biodiversity and increasing incomes from under $2,000 to over $7,000 per hectare annually! One of the most remarkable aspects of this project has been the strong sense of community and #trust we've built with local #farmers. Workshops and training programmes have equipped them with the skills to implement sustainable practices, creating a ripple effect of positive change. Farmers have reported seeing more birds and insects, improved #soilhealth, and increased biodiversity on their lands. 🍫 From ageing plantations to empowering communities, discover how the Cacao Forest project helped to transform the landscape of Dominican cocoa farming through sustainable practices and innovative #agroforestry models.

🌴 Grupo Palmas is Peru’s largest #palmoil producer and exporter, managing 25,500 hectares of oil palm and 1,200 hectares of #cocoa in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. Find out how Grupo Palmas, with Earthworm’s support, became the first Peruvian company to publish and apply a commitment to No-Deforestation in its operations and supply chain. By protecting 15,000 hectares of primary forests in Maniti from #deforestation, Grupo Palmas preserves ecosystems and supports the livelihoods of local communities and smallholders. These real actions are transforming their operations and setting new standards in forest #conservation. 🤝 This collaboration marks a significant shift in how business can coexist with nature.

"The other day, I had a delicious conversation with Bastien SACHET, CEO of Earthworm Foundation, a foundation that helps companies like Nestlé to know where the raw materials they use in their products come from and prevent the #ecosystems from which they come from being exploited. We talk about that and the world we live in, with the far right forcing the right in #Europe to stop the green policies they have been promoting all these years" shares El Pais writer Daniel Alonso Viña.
