The Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation, established in 1994,is one of the institutions that provides support for the conservation and preservation of Indonesia's biodiversity. The Foundation provides financial and technical support to civil society organization and local communities who are working on conservation, development and preservation of biodiversity. The Foundation believes that food security can be achieved through conserving and utilizing local biodiversity as a source of income to improve the economy of farming communities, as well as promoting the importance of crop diversification. One of the work they carried out in supporting agricultural development is building food sovereignty based on local community sources. It supported various activities in 2013 to 2019, such as with local communities and other entities.: (1) development and cultivation of sorghum plants on farmers' land, (2) increasing farmer capacity: cultivation-post-harvest-processing-consumption; entrepreneurship, economic balance, food nutrition, (3) promotion, education, advocacy, (4) support for post-harvest and processing tools and (5) synergy and networking with the local and national governments. The Foundation also promotes recognition of people who have contributed to conservation efforts, e.g. Maria Loretha, one of the sorghum conservationists.
