Abstract

The negative Impact of climate change and food security are crucial issues for Indonesia with a large population. Agricultural sector as a contributor about 5-7 percent to CO2 emissions, is a victim of climate change as this sector is very sensitive to the change of climate such as rise of temperature, drought, El Nino and La Nina and rise sea level. The decline in production due to climate change and extreme climate is very risky for Indonesia's food security. Various studies and studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of climate change. However, since 2009, voluntary commitment of Indonesian Government to reduce 26 percent of CO2 emissions set up the strong effort in many sectors to adapt with climate change. In agriculture, improving soil quality is key in maintaining food production. Soil conservation using vegetative or engineering technique is one of the most important technology. Nutrient management by applying balance fertilization, the use of organic material and ameliorant such as biochar, zeolite and other natural mineral are beneficial for plant production. All these ameliorants will be very useful in maintain soil organic matter (SOM) and soil carbon which very important in increasing water holding capacity. Water harvesting is one option to capture high precipitation and important to irrigate agricultural area. Besides, the use of cropping calendars, high yielding varieties which adapt to biophysical stress will be very useful. Other effort is also needed to control the peat fire, peat drainage and deforestation.

Abstract

Agricultural mechanization is one of the important components for modern agriculture in achieving sustainable food self-sufficiency targets. In fact, advances in mechanization technology will make agriculture triumphant, so that Indonesia as the world's food barn can be realized.  This study aims to see how the development of innovation-based agricultural mechanization, as well as how the efficiency of agricultural products in the application of agricultural mechanization. The government through the Ministry of Agriculture has created many works to build mechanization 4.0, including (1) rice seed spreading drones, (2) rice planting robots, (3) autonomous tractors, and (4) integrated harvesting plus tillage machines. These four agricultural machines can be a solution for Indonesian farmers in running a modern farming business. The government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, has distributed agricultural machinery assistance in an effort to help farmers.  The use of rice transplanter (transplanting machinery) can save 30 percent of planting costs compared to conventional planting methods. Nationally, the cost of planting that can be saved reaches Rp 8.6 trillion every year. Weeding tools, the use of weeding machines is three times faster than conventional methods with a savings value of Rp 7 trillion in weeding costs. The use of tractors for soil cultivation can also reduce the use of conventional labor with faster operationalization.  The use of agricultural machinery, both pre- and post-harvest, is a driving force for accelerating the process of increasing production and farming efficiency so that farmers get greater benefits.

Abstract

Every country has efforts to fulfill food. In order to ensure a fair and equitable food supply at the community, household and individual levels in accordance with the purchasing power to meet food needs. Therefore, an alternative food buffer model is needed in each region, especially in big cities. This paper recommends a big city food buffer model with at least five areas that become the main functions of TTIC/DC. First, the field of supply management. Second, supply reserve management. Third, supply distribution management. Fourth, institutional management of food cooperation. Fifth, e-commerce-based information technology system. Food supply to big cities can be done by optimizing nearby areas to be more effective and efficient, and cutting long supply and distribution chains. This is important so that price fluctuations that often occur in big cities can be properly addressed.
