Abstract

This paper addresses the critical question of how to turn climate concern into climate action as we move forward towards the 1.5 degree Celsius global warming target adopted by COP 26 in 2021 and reaffirmed by COP 27 in 2022. It argues that it has taken scientists more than a Century to accept, first: that climate change is real and second: that it is anthropogenic. Scientists still continue to debate the precise effects of greenhouse gases on weather, fires, floods and food security. Climate optimists continue to rely on the search for new miracle technologies, such as fusion energy or carbon capture. This is all very good. But this is the easy part. What is more critical is to motivate people towards collective action in pursuit of a zero-emission target. This requires harnessing the art of fostering humanist, economically just, collective action rooted in local commitment and transparency. The real challenge of sustainability today is to turn science into art. We do not have over a century and half, as the scientists did to practice this art. Repeatedly, pointing to climate change apocalypse will not be enough.

Abstract

  The Covid -19 pandemic and changes in macroeconomic conditions have had an impact on the performance and sustainability of companies around the world, including in Indonesia. This study analyzes the effects macroeconomic changes and the pandemic have on corporate performance and sustainability, proxied by stock prices. Five macroeconomic variables i.e. inflation, exchange rate, BI interest rate, world oil price, and palm oil price are used as the independent variables, the COVID-19 pandemic as a dummy variable and agribusiness company stock prices as the dependent variable. The data used is secondary data from 2015 to 2020 and analyzed by the ECM (Error Correction Model). The results show that in the short-run, world oil prices and palm oil prices affect upstream agribusiness companies’ share prices, while for the downstream companies, all variables including the COVID-19 pandemic have no effect on share price performance. In the long-run, however, all variables including the COVID-19 pandemic statistically affect upstream companies’ share price performance, while for the downstream companies, all variables but BI interest rate affect share price performance.

Abstract

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on food supply chains at both domestic and global levels. At the same time, Indonesia's food security index experienced a significant decline. This study presents an exploratory approach-based research review aiming at identifying problems occurring along food supply chain post COVID-19 pandemic, and at examining possible policies, studies and research needed to improve food security. In addition to relevant previous studies, the authors analysed data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and Bank of Indonesia (BI). A number of problems and issues pertinent to Indonesia’s food supply chain that may adversely affect food security are identified and a post COVID-19 “exit strategy” to strengthen food supply chain is explored.

Abstract

Many coffee producers in Indonesia carry on organic certification to warrant their production and processing standards. One of them is Nunggal Roso Farmers Group Association (Gapoktan) which performs state-financed organic certification on their robusta coffee products. This research aims to describe farm activities and organic certification applications on Gapoktan Nunggal Roso and analyze its income and profit in 2020. As many as 60 randomly selected respondents consist of 30 organic coffee farmers and 30 non-organic coffee farmers. The organic certification impacts were analyzed using income and profit analysis and then tested for their differences statistically. These research results signify that coffee farms in the research location which has been undertaken in polyculture with shading trees and intercropping plants do not change considerably by the presence of certification. Besides, also known from the research that the return to family labor in each working person-day of organic coffee farmers is lower than that of non-organic coffee farmers.

Abstract

Mandated by Law No. 6 / 2014, the establishment of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDesa) aims to promote the welfare of rural communities by providing decent work and improving economic management and growth at the village level in line with Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). Job satisfactions of BUMDesa’s heads play a crucial role in ensuring that those aims are realized. This study analyzes factors affecting BUMDesa’s heads in the district of Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected by use of questionnaire interviews with 243 active heads of BUMDesa. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was applied using the Lisrel 8.70 software. Four variables, i.e. salary/wages, supervision, co-workers and the job itself, were analyzed. The results show that salary/wages have the lowest indicator value, meaning that BUMDesa’s heads are statistically dissatisfied with the level of their salary/wages. On the contrary, BUMDesa’s heads are shown to be satisfied by their coworkers’ performance. Higher level governments need to assist village governments to adopt a fairer remuneration structure to improve job satisfaction, and hence, the performance of BUMDesa.

Abstract

In the wake of climate change and global warming, various alternatives are being considered as a potential replacement for fossil fuels. Despite often being overlooked, nuclear power offers many benefits as a low-carbon energy source. Being a thermal power plant, nuclear power can generate energy reliably without relying on weather without emitting greenhouse gases during its operation. Serialised construction can reduce the capital cost, which often touted as expensive. Due to the commitment to the Paris Protocol, Indonesia is obliged to achieve carbon neutrality in its energy generation, and nuclear power is a plausible option to replace fossil fuel generation. One of the questions regarding nuclear power deployment in Indonesia is the sustainability of the nuclear fuel, especially considering its domestic resources both uranium and thorium. This study estimates how long uranium and thorium resources in Indonesia will last when used to power the nuclear power plants with open and closed fuel cycles. Several reactor designs were considered. The calculation result shows that domestic nuclear fuel resources in Indonesia can be sustainable enough, provided that closed nuclear fuel cycle is deployed.

Abstract

This study examines the optimal partnership structure for impacting the well-being of coffee farmers. It is crucial to elucidate the variances in each business model within the context of collaborations involving coffee farmers, traders, and exporters along the coffee supply chain, and their subsequent effect on the welfare of coffee farmers within each specific partnership configuration. We employed a questionnaire to assess the influence of partnership models on the well-being of farmers. The survey was carried out in Central Aceh, known for Arabica coffee production, and Lampung, recognized for Robusta coffee cultivation. we find that farmers participating in globally certified partnership constellations score better on economic performance than farmers in local partnership constellations (both certified and conventional).

Abstract

The climate change that has occurred in the last decade has seriously impacted food availability and price pressures from the macro side, as well as the sustainability of farming activities and the welfare of farmers from the micro side. One form of climate change is crop failure; thus, to anticipate crop failure, farming households implement coping strategies to survive well. This study aimed to analyse the coping strategies used by farm households to deal with crop failures. The data used in this study were sourced from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) conducted in 2007 and 2014. There were 3338 samples of farming households in a panel data format that could be used in the analysis. The analytical method used in this study uses a fixed effects approach at the household and rural levels to avoid potential bias from endogeneity and heterogeneity problems. The results showed that the coping strategies adopted by farming households were more likely to sell livestock and household assets and increase the number and frequency of loans. Reducing consumption has not been statistically proven as a coping strategy chosen by farming households facing crop failure.
