[May I Never Give Up on My Purpose – Incepto ne desistam]

When I was five years old, my Dad and my Mom gave me the "freedom" to act as I wished. That was when I discovered my true self and my love for performing in front of others: I was trained not to be shy when speaking, not to be shy when singing, and even to be unafraid to perform in theatre. Now, at my current age, I understand that “freedom” is not merely about speaking, singing, or acting — it is also about taking action.

Today, I act as a young forester in the midst of this chaotic world — a world of forests, food, people, policy, and sustainability. In 2023 and 2024, I took part in the @world_food_forum Flagship Event as a speaker at side events, sharing my work in forestry to promote agrifood system transformation. I met leaders, dreamers, and people with noble visions. The most beautiful part was meeting them in those small side-event rooms, exchanging knowledge and ideas.

But this year, things are different. For the first time, I stood upon a grand stage — the stage of the United Nations @fao. Before, I had seen some of these leaders in smaller rooms; now, I could look upon them from a platform that holds the dreams of many. I smiled, I glowed, and I made peace with the splendour of that moment.

Yet I did not stop there. I did not merely gaze at them on the first day; I also spoke at a side events to share what I could contribute, for I drastically believe that the good we offer today is both a normative and empirical investment — one that can never be monetised. Would you agree?

My visit to Rome this year deepened my understanding of the saying “all roads lead to Rome”, and I was delighted to find truth in it. I take it to mean that one must set forth bravely to chase one’s dreams and noble ambitions — there is no path that cannot be travelled with determination. My path is in forestry: I come for the forest, I see for the forest, and I conquer for the forest — all to ensure the transformation of agrifood systems.

Thus, May I never give up on my purpose.

Veni, Vidi, Vici — I came, I saw, I conquered, Julius Caesar

[Daje Roma Daje]

Can you imagine that all roads lead to Rome (ada seribu jalan menuju Roma) is real and I made it this year? Yes, this is real of Rome tho! I came here for participating a prestigious forum, World Food Forum (WFF) Flagship Event 2023 by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

However, attending a forum probably will be easy for particular people, but completely not for me. After a couple of optimistic scrambles finally I got opportunity representing one of the largest youth-led forestry organisations, @ifsadotnet at the WFF Flagship Event 2023, Rome, Italy. It was my second European country I ever been visited after Germany. Rome with its romantic and artistic looks, yet inside we discussed fantastic topic: food system transformation.

As a young forestry student, I do believe that forest and trees are essential in transforming the food system. Combining trees with food crops, plants and animals (as in agroforestry systems) can help diversify and increase agricultural production while providing additional economic, social and environmental benefits to land users as mentioned by the IFSA Statement.

As part of IFSA commitment to be at the forefront of forestry youth development, openly emphasising the roles of forest in food system transformation and adaptation; and representing youth voices at global youth platforms, I chosen to be a speaker together with FAO, WFF, Youth Delegates from Italy and Ireland, Giulia Tariello and David Giles, IAAS, ACT4FOOD, YPARD, YOUNGO, and others. We discussed about youth-led agroforestry, youth action for resilient foodscapes, and empowering local youth action to drive global agrifood transformation as part of National Chapters within three different collaborative side events.

As final, we drastically would like to translate WFF Flagship Event 2023 resolution into local action: connecting, educating, and empowering the next generation of youth based on IFSA Strategy document. Indeed, we genuinely recognise that we have many brilliant ideas to implement it but without collaborative action from global to grassroots vice versa, it means nothing. taken in Rome, Italy by @rizkaafeef

[Qısaca Şuşa, Təşəkkürlər Azərbaycan]

One month ago, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the OIC Youth Capital 2024 in Shusha, Azerbaijan. It was my first time visiting the Republic of Azerbaijan particularly Shusha, and I was thoroughly impressed by the country's beauty and cultural richness. A highlight of my visit was witnessing the Ministry of Youth and Sport's strong commitment to advancing the youth agenda. Their dedication to empowering young people and fostering a supportive environment for youth initiatives is truly inspiring.

As a forestry enthusiast, it was inspiring to witness Azerbaijan's unwavering support for youth movements and climate action initiatives. The event highlighted the vital role of youth, emphasising that "youth" is a golden investment deserving the backing of governments, businesses, communities, and the youth themselves. I am grateful for the experience and motivated to continue contributing to sustainable and impactful change!

My gratitude goes to the Ministry of Youth and Sport of the Republic of Azerbaijan for this special invitation to attend OIC Youth Capital 2024. I love Shusha and I look forward to seeing the positive impact of their efforts! taken in Shusha Azerbaijan by @rizkaafeef

Diorama Bumantara Tembagapura

Tiga bulan empat hari, kami berdinamika disini dalam rangka mengemban konsepsi mahasiswa dalam menilik pengalaman singkat agar dapat diberi judul cerita hidup: dari Indonesia bagian barat ke Indonesia bagian timur. Mujurnya, kami menapakkan kaki di punggung Gunung Jayawijaya, tempat kami dan Freeport Indonesia bersama. Ohiya, konotasi “kami” adalah aku dan teman-teman lincahku dengan spesifikasi ramah, senyum, salam, sapa, sopan, santun, dan tentunya piawai dalam bidangnya.

F 162 merupakan kamarku dengan segala kebisingan sekaligus kericuhan setiap malam, namun sekarang mendramatisasi terjadinya naluri “rindu” yang muncul setiap malam di kediaman masing-masing. Idealnya, beberapa dari kami punya agenda rutin malam mingguan: nonton sinematorgraf dari situs bajakan agar tercipta skema layar tancep setengah modern. Paginya bangun saat jam makan siang hampir usai.

Kelincahan kami juga mendorong semangat, motivasi, dan cita-cita untuk mengeksplorasi hasil buatan manusia yang ada disini: jacuzzi dengan perawakkan kolam renang, karaoke, bioskop, lapangan bola, gym, dan masih banyak lagi. Uniknya, aku bekerja di pucuk gunung samping lubang raksasa dengan lebar 3000 meter (m). 4285 m di atas permukaan laut letak kantorku, 3–10 derajat Celcius sahabatku. Aku hangat karena matahari buatan disini dan jenaka dari kamerad–kamerad tengil Grasberg. Entah apa jamu mereka sehingga kamerad itu setiap hari bisa ceria meskipun harus siap saat mataharipun belum setor muka. Tak lupa, aku juga punya kamerad di Bukit Barat, mereka tak kalah jago.

Namun pada dasarnya, manusia hanya siap untuk pertemuan tapi tidak dengan perpisahan. Aku akan selalu ingat bumantaramu, Tembagapura! Huft, akhirnya aku dapat ber–koda: Kelak kita akan sadar bahwa perpisahan hanyalah sebuah jalan untuk kembali dipertemukan. Diwaktu yang tepat dan di tempat yang seharusnya. Sukses dan hormat, Papua! taken in Freeport Indonesia by @rizkaafeef

Berkisah Bersama Semeru Baharu

Tepat tiga bulan lalu, aku sedang bangga menjadi bagian dari 20 anak-anak setan. Betul, anak setan yang mempunyai mental kuat, otot kawat, tulang besi, dan dipertemukan di KKN-PPM Peduli Bencana Semeru. Mereka berasal dari andalnya masing-masing (Sekolah Vokasi, Sarjana, bahkan Profesi Dokter). Alhasil, Desa Condro menjadi astmosfer baru dalam berdinamika di medan orang dan mereka menyebut kami sebagai anak mereka sendiri.

Sama di angka tiga, kami juga mempunyai tiga jagoan jempolan disini: Pak Tulus; Bu Rere; dan Bu Ngatini. Namun, beberapa hari setelah jagoan kami merawat kami, bukan kami menjaga asetnya, malah merusaknya. Tenang, bukan sengaja kok. Tapi, tetap saja tegang. Setiap aku bangun pagi, sarapanku adalah masalah yang disuguhkan oleh anak-anak setan. Skenario awal dimulai dari keran patah, disusul jemuran putus, pintur kamar mandi rusak, dan epilognya adalah laporan motor salah satu teman kami yang dibawa jauh-jauh dari daerah plat G, hilang pukul satu pagi.

Pagi harinya, ternyata motor itu diamankan oleh putra sulung Bu Ngatini di sebuah gudang milik beliau yang gelap ketika matahari tidak muncul. Huft, lega. Condro berkata lain, kami diberikan epilog jilid dua dimana kaisar hijau sebagai kuda sembrani kami hilang. Panik? Kali ini bukan aku saja yang panik, setan lainnya pun terdigdaya untuk panik. Berkat keahlian assasin beberapa anak setan disini, dia ditemukan.

Dua minggu kami giat di tenda pengungsian, dua minggu sisanya kami tangkas di masyarakat. Sepertinya, membungkus makanan menggunakan kertas minyak dan membuat ecobrick adalah kecakapan baru para anak setan ini. Akhir pengabdian ini tertuju pada Condro Festival dadakan karena manusia topi kuning yang kata mereka "nggak ada otak" itu. Sukses? Tentu saja, kerja keras 20 anak setan yang berdikari ini jangan diragukan lagi. Kemudian, kami pulang bergulana. taken in Condro - Pasirian by @rizkaafeef
