Reference --->
Indonesia Berkebun is a non-profit volunteer urban farming movement working
through social media, including twitter, facebook, youtube and the website
www.indonesiaberkebun.org. Indonesia Berkebun’s activists, composed of
socially diverse enthusiasts from 32 cities in Indonesia and 8 campuses, all share
the vision of building environmental awareness through urban farming.
Gardening can be a tool for learning, community building and recreation,
especially for children, while also providing public green spaces in the city. The
program turns vacant urban land into productive plots with economic value for
gardening, food security, health and greening. Thanks to social media, half of
garden activists are under thirty years of age. Indonesia Berkebun is committed
to ecological principles: organic gardening, waste recycling and water filtration
are part of the program. Educational initiatives include gardening classes and
social media outreach with information and public discussions about organic
farming. A third economic prong aims to create sustainable organic gardening
activities for personal consumption or professionally managed production for
distribution to town markets and restaurants. Since its launch in 2010, the
Indonesia Berkebun twitter account @Idberkebun has won 73.142 followers who
share tweets about gardening, stories or pictures from their own gardens, while
making urban farming simple, fun and rewarding.
