Finance Officer

Good Forest Indonesia (GFI) Foundation was officially established in May 2023 and is based in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Although relatively new, the same team has been carrying out landscape restoration efforts through tree planting programs with local communities since 2013 under the name Fairventures Worldwide (FVW). Currently, GFI stands as an independent entity with local leadership.

GFI focuses on landscape restoration through an agroforestry approach. By combining various types of trees and intercrops such as cocoa and patchouli, GFI hopes that restoration efforts can go hand in hand with increased income for local farmers. In addition to working at the grassroots level, GFI is also committed to developing the value chain of products produced by farmers.
