4	1	Indomalaya (South & South East Asia)	Indonesia	Java and Bali Forests	Jakarta	Urban	2	Roderick des Tombe (drigo)		drigo	Having already built relationships with many prominent social entrepreneurs in Jakarta, the next step will be to gather a core of 5 - 7 entrepreneurs to form a mini alliance, with the proposal of using SEEDS and a Bioregional DHO as a tool.		Onboarding materials including a 20 slide deck (approx), a basic document in Indonesian, and a format / option for bioregion DHOs to be able to issue their own tokens and have strategic partners / enterprises / individuals / organizations be angel investors / owners of those tokens. Also need to have marketplace up and running!	Happy to support others with a model / strategy, and to contribute some time towards learning from existing examples to share lessons learned with the wider community of pioneers / pilot project stewards
5	2		Indonesia	Java and Bali Forests	Denpasar	Rural	2	Jared Cordon			A cooperative has already been formed with over 500 farmers scattered across Bali who are willing and trying to apply the food forest regenerative farming techniques. The cooperative has been only using the excess of the farmers harvest and is not the primary source. The next step is to better organize the farmers with the hypha toolkit and start paying the farmers with seeds from revenue produced through the peoples market (localscale)
6	3		Malaysia	West Malaysia	Kuala Lumpur	Urban	2	Rain			Working with current international school and a school for refugees to develop a local online ecosystem for their products/services with local suppliers, customers and others stakeholders and this will be the foundation to bring on board more businesses to use seeds and be on localscale.
