By distributing avocado seedlings to 12 hamlets, the initiative ensures that the villagers can grow a nutritious and high-value crop. This effort not only addresses the immediate food needs of the community but also contributes to long-term agricultural sustainability by promoting local food production.
This can lead to increased incomes and economic stability for the residents, further reinforcing SDG 2’s aim to promote sustainable agricultural practices that improve livelihoods.
The Tumpeng, a traditional Indonesian dish that symbolizes abundance and gratitude, was not only a culinary creation but also a representation of how food can be celebrated and preserved as a cultural heritage.
