Pioneering permaculture in Borneo, Indonesia
Australian born Community Development Worker, Frederika’s inspiration for Indonesia came from her love of the cultural arts. This saw her participate in a cultural music scholarship and led to her meeting her now husband, Indonesian actor and Permaculturist, Jayadi Paembonan.

17 years and 4 lovely daughters later, the two started Permakultur Kalimantan Foundation (in close collaboration with the local community) after volunteering as permaculture practitioners in India and Australia.

The couple are passionate about embracing and acknowledging how local indigenous wisdom can merge with permaculture strategies.

This is a core motivation of their work based in Indonesian Borneo, Kalimantan.
