VIDEO: President of Indonesia Makes Strong Endorsement of SRI

On July 30, Pres. S. B. Yudhoyono presided at an SRI Harvest Festival in Cianjur, West Java, attended by 1,300 persons including the Ministers of Agriculture and of Irrigation.

In his extemporaneous remarks, the President (who has a PhD from IPB, the Agricultural University at Bogor) praised SRI because "Productivity is increased, and at the same time the environment is saved." He said that "this SRI method, being a solution, instead of adding to the problem (of water demand and chemical pollution of soil and water), by providing opportunities for agricultural development is suitable for Indonesia." He concluded: "I want to urge everybody, starting with the Minister of Agriculture and everyone else, let us support this SRI method with our maximum capacity."

Our current SRI Instructional Video project features the President's speech on that day. A special video documentary of Pres. S. B. Yudhoyono's presentation, with English subtitles, is posted here. To view, please click on the photo below.
