1. Indonesia:
New Opportunities for Climate Compatible Agriculture
KEMEN AUSTIN | Research Associate

2. The Facts
• The Indonesian government has committed to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 26 percent by 2020.
• 87% of this goal is planned to be achieved via reducing deforestation,
forest degradation, and peatland conversion (DNPI 2010).
• The country also aims to increase production of 15 major crops,
including doubling palm oil production by 2020.
• This will require ~ 4 Million ha of additional land area (Miettenen
2012).
• If historic conversion patterns continue, up to 90% of this expansion
will occur at the expense of forests (Carlson et al 2012).

3. The Goal
Decoupling agricultural expansion and forest conversion

4. The Goal

5. The Approach
1. Defining and mapping suitable land for expansion of
sustainable palm oil on low carbon, low biodiversity
land.
2. Publishing an online web mapping application that can support ‘greening’ of
the palm oil supply chain
- Focus in Kalimantan, where 65% of current permits for Palm Oil are located

6. Defining Suitable Land

7. The Suitability Mapper allows users to
customize a “potential suitability” map
