Sago development strategy as a food security commodity in Indonesia

Background: Food estate in Indonesia is currently a hot topic of discussion. This is inseparable from the national strategic food estate project that President Prabowo Subianto has prioritized in recent years. The current food estate project still focuses on non-natural commodities, such as cassava and mornings, which require large resources and land. Indonesia as a tropical country has abundant potential for sago plants as a natural food source, so it does not require massive land expansion. Sago can be a major commodity in food security in Indonesia. Methods: This report uses the content analysis method of 6 journal articles and several regulations related to sago management in Indonesia. Findings: The results of the analysis are then linked to identify gaps and formulate policy recommendations. Problems that hinder the development of sago as a food commodity currently include a lack of public knowledge, an unoptimized sago supply chain, and deforestation of sago areas due to development. Lack of community knowledge is an obstacle in the development of plantation innovation, the supply chain is not yet optimal, causing complexity in the production and distribution sectors, and deforestation results in the reduction of sago natural land. Conclusion: The management and development of sago is currently stated in several regulations, one of which is the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture Number 134/Permentan/OT.140/12/2013 on Good Sago Cultivation Guidelines. However, some of these regulations still cannot solve the problems that occur. Recommendations that can be delivered on the condition of sago development in Indonesia focus on national government policies so that sago can become a major food commodity for people in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in the critical content analysis approach that synthesizes various academic sources and regulatory frameworks to evaluate the untapped potential of sago as a national food security commodity in Indonesia

Studi literatur: restorasi lahan pascatambang batu bara di Kalimantan Timur

Background: Coal plays a significant role in Indonesia's primary energy mix, particularly in electricity generation. However, its extensive use results in serious environmental impacts, primarily due to open-pit mining methods that damage ecosystems and reduce biodiversity. Therefore, post-mining land rehabilitation is crucial to restore disturbed ecosystems and mitigate their negative impacts. Method: The method used in this study is a systematic literature review (SLR). The data used are sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the outlook of related agencies. Results: The Mineral and Coal Law establishes a reclamation obligation for companies. The Mineral and Coal Mining Law mandates reclamation obligations for mining companies, accompanied by the payment of reclamation security funds to government banks. However, challenges remain in implementing reclamation and mine closure, particularly in East Kalimantan, where coal mining is a major industry. Sustainable environmental management and attention to post-mining land rehabilitation are needed to ensure that the environmental impacts of the mining industry are effectively managed. Careful monitoring and learning from the experiences of other countries, such as the UK and China, can assist the Indonesian government in developing best practices in ecological restoration and sustainable natural resource management

oai:ojs2.journal-iasssf.com:article/454Background: The planned land use conversion for the construction of the National Capital of Nusantara in East Kalimantan Province has a significant impact on the ecosystem and oxygen quality in Indonesia. Method: This study was conducted by conducting an in-depth literature review, valid government documents, and other scientific literature on the plan to relocate the Capital City. The results obtained were then analyzed qualitatively. Result: It is estimated that this change will result in the loss of approximately 66,146,494 tons of carbon reserves and approximately 176,611,138.98 tons of oxygen reserves. To avoid these negative impacts, it is important to maintain commitments to preserving forested areas and retaining at least 65% of the total area of the National Capital of Nusantara as forest. Planning and development also need to be carried out gradually and carefully, with replacement of lost vegetation. With these commitments, Zero Emission can be achieved

The Impact of Renewable Energy on Climate Change: A Literature Review

As in the current topic of discussion, namely climate change, where long-term climate change is one of the major environmental concerns. If we look ahead to what is happening in our surroundings, both in terms of weather and temperature, as well as the water we consume, we will notice changes over time. Higher wildfires have resulted from these changes, which have resulted in losses to living creatures on Earth, ranging from increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change. Additional worries include dwindling water supplies, lower agricultural yields, heat-related health effects in cities, and coastal flooding and erosion. As a result, it provides renewable energy that can help mitigate the worst effects of climate change. Objectives: When discussing climate change, we are addressing alterations in weather patterns. Climate change denotes a protracted modification in climate conditions extending over decades, or even longer periods. It emerges as a consequence of global warming, which ensues from both natural phenomena such as fluctuations in solar radiation, volcanic activities, or intrinsic variability within the climate system, and anthropogenic factors including alterations in atmospheric composition or land use. Climate change is contingent upon meteorological variables such as temperature, humidity, wind patterns, precipitation, drought occurrences, aridity levels, and solar radiation impacting the Earth. Method and results: The sources utilized for this composition encompass articles and journals sourced from online social media platforms, alongside a comprehensive review of articles and journals published by international and national agencies, focusing on pertinent issues related to the subject matter. Renewable energy emerges as a formidable tool in combatting climate change, exhibiting promising potential for success. Conclusion: After we investigate and learn about renewable energy in order to discuss the impact of climate change, we can learn about the advantages it offers, such as the advantages of using renewable energy in the environmental and economic sectors, such as generating energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil firing and reduces some types of air pollution, as well as the advantages of diversifying energy supply and reducing reliance on imported firing

Assessing the impacts of temperature and rainfall variation on rice yield at nkhate irrigation scheme in Chikwawa District.

Background: Most of African nations including Malawi rely on rain fed agriculture and Malawi’s economy highly depends on agriculture, this makes Malawi to be severely affected by any slight variation in climate. This main objective was accompanied by the following specific objectives; (1) Assessing rainfall and temperature trends in Livunzu EPA, (2) Assessing the annual rice yield of Nkhate rice scheme, (3) correlating temperature and rainfall variations with the rice yield. Methods: A quantitative research design was adopted for this study. The study was conducted exclusively at Nkhate rice scheme located in Chikhwawa District. The study used historical data of temperature, rainfall, and rice yield. Statistical analysis, including regression and correlation, was conducted using R software to examine the relationship between climatic variables and rice yield. Findings: Results from the regression and correlation analysis showed that rainfall exhibited some degree of correlation with rice yield; however, the relationship was not statistically strong. In addition, no significant correlation was found between annual minimum and maximum temperatures and rice yield. These findings suggest that while rainfall does affect rice production, other factors may also play a role, and temperature variations alone do not significantly affect yields in this context. Conclusion: This study highlights important insights into rice production under climate variability. While rice cultivation generally requires ample water, excessive rainfall - especially during sensitive stages such as pollination - can negatively impact yields. The findings underscore the importance of understanding not only the quantity but also the timing of rainfall, as well as the need for adaptive agricultural strategies to cope with changing climate patterns in rainfed systems such as in Malawi
