Institut Penelitian Inovasi Bumi (INOBU)

Registered as an Indonesian non-profit research institute in 2015, Institut Penelitian Inovasi Bumi (INOBU) grew out of Earth Innovation Institute’s (EII) Indonesia program and continues to work closely with EII and other partners. EII began it’s work in Indonesia in 2012, initially under the name IPAM International Program. Activities carried out in Indonesia have been funded through the support of the Forests, Farms & Finance Initiative, financed by Norad.

INOBU has emerged as a leading Indonesian provider of innovative applied research and technology for sustainable land and seascapes. Our applied research products include jurisdictional certification programs and smallholder support programs. We tackle a broad range of Indonesia’s environmental issues: deforestation (caused by development, commodities and social factors), forest fires, climate change/greenhouse gas emissions, and waste, among others. Our projects are carefully tailored to address these issues through comprehensive, holistic sustainable agriculture, fishing, marine livelihoods and waste management.
