BEYOND MORINGA INDONESIA
Incorporating SDGs and a Nexus Approach for Sustainable Change
The main goal of the association is increasing the commodity quality value of the moringa tree in the global market with the tagline 'leaving no one behind.'
Our SDG, Nexus approach involves a broad network of interested parties in its shaping, with the foundation of science to action methods.
How? By enabling smallholders to meet the outgrower schemes, and to overcome poverty by creating a sustainable and equal community with the profits generated by moringa tree plantations.
While our motivation and determination are altruistic, this proposed initiative and resulting plantations represent a significant commercial opportunity. We believe this 'tree of life' will generate an ecosystem that is profitable for the community while protecting the environment of targeted areas in Indonesia.
