Abstract

Agricultural waste has great potential to be used as biomaterial raw materials that can be used in medical applications, especially for bone tissue regeneration. Nanocellulose, which is produced from natural cellulose, offers good mechanical properties and high biocompatibility. This research aims to develop nanocellulose-based biomaterials from agricultural waste for bone regeneration applications. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of agricultural waste, such as rice straw, peanut husks, and corn leaves, in producing high-quality nanocellulose that can be used for applications in the field of bone tissue regeneration. This study uses an experimental design with a laboratory approach. Agricultural waste is treated through nanocellulose extraction using certain chemical techniques. Material characterization was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as well as biocompatibility tests using osteoblast cell cultures. The results show that rice straw produces nanocellulose with the highest cellulose content (65%) and has optimal tensile strength and degradation time for bone tissue applications. Peanut husks and corn leaves also show good results, although not as good as rice straw. Agricultural waste, especially rice straw, has great potential to be used as a raw material for nanocellulose that can be used in bone tissue regeneration applications. This research opens up opportunities to develop more sustainable and affordable biomaterials for medical applications.

Abstract

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is a pivotal international climate change mitigation mechanism, with Indonesia being a key implementing country due to its vast tropical forests. Despite significant international investment, the economic viability and effectiveness of REDD+ in achieving its goals are contingent upon the design and implementation of national policies. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive economic policy analysis of REDD+ implementation in Indonesia, evaluating its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the equity of its benefit-sharing mechanisms. A policy analysis framework was employed, integrating economic principles with a review of national and sub-national REDD+ policies, regulations, and project implementation documents from 2010 to 2024. The analysis was supplemented by a meta-synthesis of financial reports from REDD+ pilot projects and existing academic literature to assess transaction costs, financial flows, and benefit distribution. The analysis reveals significant economic challenges. High transaction costs, coupled with unclear carbon tenure and property rights, have created substantial inefficiencies and deterred private sector investment. Furthermore, the absence of a consistent national carbon price has undermined the financial incentives for land-use change. Benefit-sharing mechanisms were often found to be ad-hoc, leading to inequitable outcomes that failed to adequately compensate local communities for their opportunity costs. For REDD+ to become an economically viable and effective climate mitigation strategy in Indonesia, significant policy reforms are imperative. Future policies must focus on reducing transaction costs, providing clear and secure carbon tenure, and establishing transparent, equitable, and efficient benefit-sharing mechanisms that reflect the true costs borne by local stakeholders.
