To celebrate International Biodiversity Day (22 May), Gushcloud Indonesia, in collaboration with the KEHATI Foundation, will present Pekan Pangan Lokal (Local Food Week) on 21-27 May 2022 at Sedari Coffee and Tea, BSD. Pekan Pangan Local is a special program initiated by Gushcloud to support the KEHATI Foundation in conveying messages about biodiversity and its good values.

“KEHATI welcomes the collaboration with Gushcloud, which invites content creators to spread awareness of the importance of preserving local food types and local plants so that they do not become extinct. We have spread public awareness for a long time through various programs to strengthen local food initiatives whose sources come from the eastern part of Indonesia, which is very rich in biodiversity. Through this Pekan Pangan Lokal, we hope to inspire more urban communities to slowly start consuming local food, such as sorghum and Flores Manggarai coffee which are the two commodities that we introduce at this event,” said Rika Anggraini, Director of Communications and Partnerships of the Foundation.
