UN World Environment Day: Natural fertilizer solutions in Indonesia that don't cost the earth.

The UN Secretary General António Guterres, has called on countries to dramatically increase their investments in climate adaptation and nature-based solutions to reverse decades of land degradation and deforestation.
Speaking in a statement to mark UN World Environment Day he said:
"We must drastically scale-up finance to support developing countries to adapt to violent weather, protect nature, and support sustainable development."
"'Humanity depends on land. Yet, all over the world, a toxic cocktail of pollution, climate chaos, and biodiversity decimation are turning healthy lands into deserts, and thriving ecosystems into dead zones. They are annihilating forests and grasslands, and sapping the strength of land to support ecosystems, agriculture, and communities."
In Indonesia the UN's International Fund for Agricultural Development and have been financing a project that assists cocoa and rice farmers to improve the quality of their soil, improving their yields and livelihoods in the process.
