In order to celebrate The International Day for Biological Diversity (22 May), Gushcloud Indonesia
in collaboration with the Yayasan KEHATI present Pekan Pangan Lokal (local food week) on 21-27 May 2022 at Sedari Kopi dan Teh, BSD. Pekan Pangan Lokal is a special program initiated by Gushcloud to support the Yayasan KEHATI in conveying their messages about biodiversity and its good values.

“KEHATI welcomes the collaboration with Gushcloud, which invites content creators to participate in spreading awareness of the importance of preserving local food and local plants, so that they do not become extinct. We have made efforts to 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, Direktur Komunikasi dan Kemitraan Yayasan KEHATI.

In the Pekan Pangan Lokal program, Gushcloud and the Yayasan KEHATI collaborate with culinary entrepreneurs, artisan chefs, culinary storyteller, and content creators. They are Sedari Kopi dan Teh BSD, Parti Gastronomi (Arifin Windarman, Seto Nurseto, and Reyza Ramadhan), Ade Putri, Josefine Yaputri, and others.

Parti Gastronomi is known to have a passion for Indonesia’s culinary diversity and has experimented with many recipes. For Pekan Pangan Lokal program, Parti Gastronomi explore recipes for arem-arem and cookies using sorghum. Fig & Almond Soft Sorghum Cookies, created by Parti Gastronomi x The Goodlife, will be available at Sedari Kopi dan Teh BSD and can be enjoyed by visitors as a companion to manual brew with Juria and Yellow Caturra arabica coffee beans from Flores Manggarai during the Pekan Pangan Lokal.
