Abstract

Background: Rainfall and temperature variability are a threat to sustainable agricultural production in Malawi. Main crops which include rice are highly affected due to climate variability since this crop is grown during wet season. A study was therefore conducted in one EPA named Mitole in Chikwawa district in southern Malawi to determine the impacts of precipitation and temperature variability on rice production. Method: Secondary data of climate variables and rice data was used for a period of 16 years which was obtained from Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services (DCCMS) in Blantyre and Mitole EPA in Chikwawa respectively. Before data analysis data quality control was done where  outliers  were  manually  corrected  and  also  errors  were  corrected  using homogeneity test in which single mass curve for each data were plotted. In data analyses; excel and R was used to do trend analysis. Mann Kendall test was used to test if there were significant trend of data or not. To determine the relationship between climate parameters and rice production correlation analysis tested. Regression analysis was also used to predict the results if the climate variables keep varying. Findings: The results showed that only minimum temperature had a negative significant trend and other variables had trends   which   were   not   significant.   Correlation   analysis   showed   non-significant relationship between climate parameters and rice production and also the results of regression analysis had non-significant relation therefore there was enough evidence to predict the results in future. Conclusion: Since the results did not provide enough evidence that climate variables specifically rainfall and temperature affect rice production in the area, it was recommended that more research must be done to discover the way farmers must follow to maximize the production.  Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides concrete data on the impacts of climate variability on rice production in southern Malawi, which farmers and policymakers can use to develop more effective agricultural adaptation strategies in the region.

Abstract

Background: Development involves conscious efforts and activities aimed at achieving positive change within a community. It requires the participation of all societal layers, with the government acting as a facilitator and guide. The government and the community must work harmoniously to achieve the desired goals. National agricultural development often focuses on villages close to municipalities, benefiting from hierarchical governance and advanced rural agricultural practices. This development can progress with political support, as outlined in Law Number 6 of 2014 on Villages, which aims to improve welfare, enhance human resources, and reduce rural poverty through sustainable management of local resources and the environment. This study aims to understand the potential and issues facing Ngringo Village, analyze the structural transformations, examine the institutional changes, assess the technology transfer, and identify a suitable agricultural development model. Methods: The research employs qualitative methods, including field observations, interviews with key informants, and analysis of secondary data from relevant literature and official documents. Findings: The results indicate that Ngringo Village has significant potential due to its strategic location and developed infrastructure. However, challenges such as reduced agricultural land and a shift in economic activities from agriculture to industrial sectors are evident. Institutional support through local farmer groups and technology adoption has been crucial in addressing some of these challenges. Conclusion: In conclusion, while Ngringo Village faces challenges due to rapid structural changes and urbanization, the village has managed to sustain its agricultural practices through effective institutional support and technology transfer. The study suggests that a location-based development model, considering both agricultural and non-agricultural factors, is essential for the sustainable development of Ngringo Village. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study produces a location-based agricultural development model that considers both agricultural and non-agricultural factors, providing practical guidance for local governments in planning sustainable development in villages facing rapid urbanization, such as Ngringo Village.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has pledged to reach its Net Zero Emission target by 2060, necessitating the shift to renewable energy sources. To achieve this, Indonesia must transition from its current reliance on fossil fuel power plants to renewable energy generators, ensuring the same or greater electricity capacity. One viable renewable energy source is organic waste. This study aims to explore strategies for developing organic waste as an alternative energy source to bolster Indonesia's energy resilience and environmental sustainability. Method: The research employs a qualitative approach, including literature reviews and qualitative descriptive analysis. Findings: Waste to Energy (WtE) processes convert waste into electricity and/or heat, aiding in greenhouse gas reduction, improving waste management efficiency, and supporting sustainable development. WtE technologies can utilize both thermochemical and biochemical methods to convert waste into energy. The Indonesian government is known to have 12 projects to accelerate the installation of Waste Processing into Electrical Energy, both the Waste Power Plants that have been in operation and under construction and using gasification as the method. The development of WtE faces various challenges ranging from completeness and consistency of regulations, high tipping fees, complex cooperation mechanisms and business models, problems with the characteristics and nature of Indonesian waste that need special handling, and rejection from residents. Conclusion: Strategies that can be implemented in developing WtE in Indonesia include drafting policies and regulations, increasing public awareness, collaboration with the private sector, choosing the right technology, developing infrastructure, increasing the efficiency of waste collection, and international partnerships.  Novelty/Originality of this study: This research offers concrete strategies to develop Waste to Energy (WtE) technology in Indonesia, including policy formulation, increasing public awareness, and collaboration with the private sector to utilize organic waste as a renewable energy source to support the 2060 Net Zero Emission target.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia, as the largest palm oil-producing country in the world, will also produce palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME production from palm oil processing is faced with many environmental problems from the release of emissions. The development of new renewable energy in Indonesia needs to be increased to reduce dependence on fossil energy and commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study is to discuss the potential for new renewable energy from the utilization of POME biogas energy and how the environmental impacts are caused as well as the opportunities and challenges of developing EBT from POME.  Methods: This research analysis method is LCA, and descriptive. Findings: Total CO2 emission (eq) of biogas production from POME is -24.62 Kg CO2 (eq), eutrophication is -0.2188 Kg PO43- (eq) and acidification is 0.00552 Kg SO2 (eq). Biogas production from POME in Jambi Province is not optimal and has not been used optimally, the process efficiency is low, and the profitability is low. Conclusion: There is a need for a concept to utilize biogas energy that does not only focus on electrical energy but also as a renewable energy source such as bio-CNG which has wider use. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in the comprehensive analysis of the utilization of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as a renewable energy source that is not only limited to electrical energy but also includes the potential conversion of POME into bio-CNG as a more flexible and sustainable alternative.

Abstract

Background: Life is supported by the ecology and natural resources that exist on earth. Continents and oceans are the two main natural resources that host life and ecosystems around the world. 75% of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean waters that are rich in marine life. Although the oceans are vast, this does not mean that they are limitless. Population growth and development have led to an increase in the demand for marine resources. Increased demand and over-utilization of marine resources have led to strong pressures that have led to a decline in marine ecosystem services. Karimunjawa is famous for the natural beauty of its underwater coral reefs. Methods: This study employs a qualitative approach using literature and secondary data to examine the impact of parrotfish populations on coral reef sustainability. Findings: Based on current conditions, excessive catching of parrotfish has a negative impact on the sustainability of coral reefs in Karimunjawa National Park. It is necessary for local communities to understand the importance of the role of parrot fish for the sustainability of marine ecosystems. Parrotfish spend 90% of their time eating algae attached to coral reefs. Damage to the coral reef ecosystem causes coastal erosion in Karimunjawa National Park. Therefore, the role of the community in managing parrotfish resources is very necessary so as not to threaten the population for the sustainability of the marine ecosystem. Conclusion: The results of this research illustrate the role of humans, namely the community and tourists who come to Karimunjawa to carry out activities to preserve damaged coral reefs and create new coral reef areas. Novelty/Originality of this article: There are also government policies that must be considered and implemented properly for the sustainability of coral reef ecosystems and the conservation of parrotfish in Karimunjawa.

Abstract

Background: The use of AGP as a feed additive is 96.97% utilized to stimulate growth and suppress infections by pathogenic microorganisms in the digestive tract. Long-term use of AGP can cause genetic mutations by pathogenic agents, resulting in decreased effectiveness of antibiotic therapy. Moringa is a plant that grows well in tropical areas and is widely known as a vegetable and traditional medicine containing various active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoids, and tannins. Methods: The research method is a literature study by analyzing secondary data based on reviews from several research journals related to the potential of moringa leaves, acidifiers, and probiotics in improving the growth performance of broiler chickens. Findings: These compounds act as antioxidants, antibacterials, and hepatoprotective agents, improving broiler chickens' carcass quality. This composition can be supported by the administration of acidifiers in the form of organic acids to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the digestive tract, thereby optimizing the growth process of broiler chickens. Digestive bacterial balance can be achieved by administering probiotics, which play a role in enhancing immunity, health, and growth at all ages and classes of poultry, improving the balance of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, promoting intestinal integrity and maturation, preventing inflammation, increasing feed intake and digestion by enhancing digestive enzyme activity, reducing bacterial enzyme activity, lowering ammonia production, neutralizing enterotoxins, and stimulating immune function. Conclusion: The combination of these three compositions is expected to provide optimal results for broiler chicken performance. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This article highlights a combined approach using moringa leaf compounds, acidifiers, and probiotics as an alternative to AGP in broiler feed, aiming to achieve optimal growth performance while avoiding the risks associated with antibiotic resistance.

Abstract

Background: Poaching of wildlife, including protected species, is on the rise, partly due to increased demand in the world market. Therefore, this journal aims to examine the problems faced by Indonesia in dealing with wildlife trade crimes that still occur frequently, as well as the implementation of Law Number 5 of 1990 related to law enforcement for wildlife protection in Indonesia. Methods: The research method used is qualitative, by collecting data from books, articles, news, and journals. The analysis involved theories, concepts, legal principles, and regulations in the Act, as well as related case studies in Indonesia. Findings: The results show that although Indonesia has Law No. 5 of 1990, it is still lacking in effectiveness in reducing poaching and trade of wild and protected animals. Law enforcement officials and related agencies face various problems in the implementation of law enforcement. Community involvement in the endangered species trade is a key driver of the illegal keeping trend in Indonesia. Conclusion: The rate of prosecutions and convictions of illegal keepers remains low, creating inequalities in sentencing and giving the impression that the risks of this illegality are relatively low compared to the financial gains possible. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article highlights that collaboration between the government, communities and non-governmental organizations can provide additional support in conservation efforts and handling illegal cases.

Abstract

Introduction: Water conditions that greatly affect the density of seagrass species are the substrate fraction and nutrient content of the base substrate where the seagrass grows. This is important because seagrass utilizes dissolved nutrients in the waters and nutrients on the substrate for the production process. This study aims to determine the relationship between nitrate and phosphate nutrients on the substrate with seagrass density in Pajenekang Island, Liukang Tuppabiring District, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi. Methods: Data sampling of seagrass was carried out at north and west station using the line transect method where the data taken included seagrass frequency, cover, and density. Meanwhile, data collection of nitrate and phosphate nutrients on the substrate used a random sampling method and analysis with macro nutrien determination Morgan-Wolf extract. Findings: The results of study indicated that the seagrass density values in Pajenekang Island have various values, with the average seagrass density at the west station are 275 stands/m² and 356 stands/m² at the north station. The nutrient content on substrate in Pajenekang Island is low range when compared the result of other studies. Nitrate (0.36 ppm) and phosphate (0.49 ppm) at west station was significantly lower (P<0.05) compared to nitrate (0.49 ppm) and phosphate (0.64 ppm) at north station. The results of the Pearson correlation analysis among nitrate content and seagrass density on Pajenekang Island showed a negative relation with moderate correlation (-0.496*). Meanwhile, Pearson correlation analysis of phosphate content showed a negative relation by showing no relation (-0.166). This can be explained that there are other factors that effect on seagrass density in research location. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the seagrass density at Pajenekang Island varies. The average seagrass density at the western station is 275 individuals/m², while at the northern station, it is 356 individuals/m². Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in analyzing the relationship between nitrate and phosphate nutrient content in the substrate and seagrass density on Pajenekang Island, which has not been widely studied in this region.
