USAID/Indonesia Deputy Mission Director Derrick Brown listens to a farmer at the USAID FIELD Farmers’ Field Day event and exhibition at Nagari Gukguk, Padang Pariaman, March 7, 2013.

The USAID Farmers’ Initiatives for Ecological Livelihoods and Democracy (FIELD) project builds capacities of local communities to adapt to global climate change and build resilience to natural disasters through 100 organized field-based hands-on participatory schools involving 2,500 people (at least 50% women). The project utilizes multi-stakeholder workshops, forums, and networking programs to leverage support for replication, solidify lessons learned and program models, and build the partnerships necessary for information dissemination and sustainability of the program.
