Sustainable Food Future with FnB Agritech: World Food Day 2024

Every year on October 16th, World Food Day is celebrated to raise global awareness of the importance of food security. In 2024, FnB Agritech is proud to play a part in this significant event by reinforcing its commitment to supporting farmer welfare and fostering a sustainable food system for the future.

As a leading agricultural land rental company, FnB Agritech offers solutions to some of the biggest challenges faced in the agriculture sector, particularly in terms of access to land and infrastructure for farmers. With over 3,600 hectares of fertile land located in key areas such as Takengon, Pakpak Bharat, Julok, Percut Sei Tuan, and Bandung, we provide land for local farmers and agribusinesses to cultivate and contribute to both local and global food needs. Our approach is not just about short-term agricultural solutions, but a long-term investment in food security.

FnB Agritech understands that to achieve optimal productivity, land alone is not enough. That’s why we provide comprehensive support, including well-developed road access, stable electricity networks, and most importantly, professional assistance from experts in agriculture, fisheries, and agribusiness management. Our goal is to ensure that every farmer leasing our land can manage it efficiently and achieve abundant harvests.

Farmer Welfare as a Core Priority

At FnB Agritech, farmer welfare is one of our top priorities. We believe that farmers are the backbone of achieving food security. Therefore, we work to create conditions that enable our farmers to thrive, both in terms of skills and economic benefits. Through access to technology, education, and wider market opportunities, the farmers who work our land not only produce more but also add value to their harvests.

We also strive to maintain a supportive and collaborative relationship with our farmers. We know that their success is our success. That’s why FnB Agritech offers various training programs and professional guidance to help farmers adopt modern technology and more efficient farming techniques. This approach not only improves their livelihoods but also boosts their contributions to national food security.

Sustainable Agriculture for a Better Environment

But our commitment doesn’t stop at improving farmers’ welfare. FnB Agritech is deeply committed to environmental sustainability. We believe the future of agriculture is inseparable from the preservation of nature. That’s why we encourage sustainable farming practices on every piece of land we lease.

Throughout all stages of land management, we apply regenerative agricultural principles such as crop rotation, organic fertilizers, and efficient water management. Additionally, we use renewable energy sources in some of our facilities to reduce our carbon footprint. All of this is aimed at ensuring that agricultural productivity can increase without compromising the health of our ecosystems.

We also collaborate with farmers to implement eco-friendly techniques. This not only preserves the land for future generations but also ensures that they can continue to access the same natural resources we enjoy today. As part of this initiative, FnB Agritech actively monitors the environmental impact of each plot of land managed and provides recommendations on best practices to reduce environmental damage.

Collaborating to Build a More Just and Secure Food Future

On this World Food Day 2024, FnB Agritech invites all stakeholders—governments, non-profit organizations, and the wider community—to participate in building a more just and sustainable food system. We believe that collaboration is key to tackling the various challenges facing the food sector, from climate change and land scarcity to the need for technological innovation in agriculture.

FnB Agritech is committed to being at the forefront of this effort by providing sustainably managed land, supporting farmer welfare, and driving environmentally friendly innovations. We believe that through strong partnerships, we can create a future where everyone has access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food.

Let’s celebrate this World Food Day with meaningful action. Together with FnB Agritech, let’s build stronger food security, a fairer agricultural economy, and a more sustainable environment for all.
