Abstract

Background: Agricultural waste is a significant by-product of the agrarian sector, with the potential for substantial environmental and economic impacts. This study aims to examine the characteristics of organic agricultural waste and analyze its effects on the environment, both in terms of threats and its potential utilization. Method: This study employs a systematic literature review method. The literature search focuses on articles discussing agricultural waste, its characteristics, and its environmental impacts. Findings: The results show that agricultural waste has diverse characteristics based on fiber composition, physical form, and protein content. The main threats from agricultural waste include water pollution due to nutrient runoff and greenhouse gas emissions, especially methane. However, this waste also holds significant potential as a source of organic mulch, animal feed, and raw material for bioenergy. Utilizing agricultural waste as mulch can improve soil quality and crop yields, while its use as animal feed supports the integration of agricultural and livestock systems. In the context of energy, converting waste into biogas and biofuel offers an effective solution. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of integrated and sustainable agricultural waste management to minimize negative impacts and optimize its economic potential. Novelty/Originality of this article: By providing a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics and impacts of agricultural waste, this study offers insights into the importance of a holistic approach to agricultural waste management to support sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Background: The increase in agricultural production is often accompanied by excessive use of chemical inputs, contributing to environmental pollution. Precision farming is a modern approach that can address this challenge by optimizing input use through advanced technology. This paper explores the application of the reduce principle in precision farming to support efficient use of fertilizers and other resources. Method: The method used is a literature review of various published studies related to precision farming and agricultural land management. Findings: The application of the reduce principle in fertilization activities with precision farming can reduce fertilizer waste by up to 50%, increase land productivity by 10%, and minimize harmful environmental effects, such as groundwater pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Precision farming also improves irrigation efficiency through precision irrigation technology. Conclusion: This study confirms that applying precision farming with a focus on the reduce principle not only supports sustainable agriculture but also provides economic benefits for farmers by reducing production costs. Innovations in precision farming technology, such as the integration of AI-based sensors and IoT, further enhance potential efficiencies in the future. Novelty/Originality of this article: Emphasizing the use of the reduce principle in precision farming as a primary strategy to achieve more efficient and environmentally friendly agriculture aligns with the goals outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for responsible production.
