In response to the climate crisis impacting coffee production in Indonesia, women-owned business, Lady Farmer Coffee in Karangkobar, Central Java, has pioneered a transformative shift towards renewable energy, particularly solar power, to drive their coffee drying operations. Led by founder Farida Dwi, also known as Wiwi, the plantation not only provides the quality and taste of Indonesian coffee but also serves as a beacon of support for women farmers in the region. Facing challenges posed by climate change and rising electricity costs, the adoption of solar energy not only mitigates environmental impact, but also enhances economic viability. Through partnerships with organizations like the Diversity Movement and Greenpeace Indonesia, Lady Farmer Coffee showcases the potential of renewable energy in overcoming climate-related hurdles, reducing drying time by 40% and costs by 35% in the coffee production process. This innovative approach not only secures the sustainability of coffee production but also fosters female entrepreneurship and resilience amidst uncertain weather patterns, setting a transformative example for the broader agricultural industry.
