On 30 October 2020, IAAS Indonesia held Social campaign #1. This campaign carried out through social media which contained explanations about Good Farm Good Food for sustainable agriculture to support healthy food production. Healthy life began with what is food that we eat. The food that contains healthy materials (good food) was from a good farm. We had to apply good farm good food from ourself because good farm good food can make not only ourself healthy but also sustainable agriculture too.

On 1 November, IAAS Indonesia held social campaign #2. It was campaign videos about agricultural situation in Indonesia and efforts to improve it through Good Farm Good Food. We definitely want clean and healthy food. Clean here in the sense that it is free from chemical residues. Chemicals in agricultural management are very important because their benefits will affect our health. Healthy food we can call #GoodFood, comes from #GoodFarm. Good agricultural management will make agriculture sustainable for our future. This campaign invited us to start from ourselves by doing environmentally friendly agriculture in our homes.
