1/3 We’re excited to introduce cattle farmer, Ibu Pasnep, an active member of the Ngiring Datu Cattle Farmers Association in North Lombok.

Ibu Pasnep is a widow and she relies on the income from her two cattle to support her three children.

2/3 In the morning, Ibu Pasnep collects and feeds fodder to her cattle. And like most farmers in the group, she feeds her cattle Sesbania grandiflora, a tree legume which is rich in protein—excellent for cattle fattening and for lactating cows.

As 2020 gets underway, we look forward to everyone across the IndoBeef program working together to build relationships with farmer groups and smallholder farmers, to improve beef production and livelihoods across five provinces in #Indonesia.

We couldn't agree more. The #IndoBeef gender research team held the first gender focus group discussions this year with women farmers involved in raising cattle.

3/3 "The reason these farmers keep cattle is either for income or for savings. Many of them see keeping #cattle as one of the ways to improve their standard of living, which makes this project very worthwhile, in my eyes!" - @JoriBremer

#CropCow Field Officer, Muhammad Sukri, has been working with the Bumbang Wetan farmer group in Central Lombok. After #CommCare ap training, Surkri and his colleagues enrolled 97 cattle across 36 farmer-members in the group, whose focus is on breeding

@ACIARAustralia #Indonesia

[IndoBeef Research Program @indo_beef]

In recent months, several CropCow Field Officers have been involved in cattle enrolment using the @dimagi created #CommCare app.

Ms Fitriyani Susanti reported that the Ni-u Monca farmer group had 27 members, owning 4-7 head of #cattle each.
