Indonesia: Digital transformation for food security

This project aims to develop a geo-information and satellite imagery eco-system in Indonesia. Working together with Indonesian counterparts, this project facilitates Dutch and Indonesian companies in the geo-spatial, agri-food, water and climate sector. At the same time, it will improve public governance systems in Indonesia.

This new ecosystem will support the Indonesian OneData and OneMap policies. It is inspired by the Dutch Public Services on the Map (PDOK) platform.

We want to show that a strong geo-spatial data eco-system in Indonesia will provide direct benefits for farmers and policy makers on a local level.
