Sago As An Environmentally Sustainable Food Resource In The Climate Change Era, Saptarining Wulan
Sago As An Environmentally Sustainable Food Resource In The Climate Change Era, Saptarining Wulan
Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development
This current study is focused on measuring the life cycle assessment of the sustainability of sago palm cultivated on peatlands. A previous theory suggested that while food production tends to increase arithmetically, population tends to increase naturally at a faster geometric rate that may cause hunger and/or starvation in the future generation. Land is a limited resource, and to address the rapidly increasing population, peatland cultivation has become popular as a result in the recent times. Rice is the main staple food in Indonesia with a consumption of >90 kg/capita/year. Sago palm is an indigenous plant that abundantly grows in …

Is Sustainable Oil Palm Production Possible For Smallholders?, Aloysius Suratin, Mahawan Karuniasa, Suyud Warno Utomo
Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development
Decoupling resource use efficiency and ecological impacts are two challenges of oil palm smallholders in Indonesia. This study aims to find option for increasing productivity among smallholder and to reduce the environmental impacts of nutrient management in their plantations. We adopted UNEP’s definition of resource and impact decoupling as a tool to estimate resource decoupling rate and impact decoupling rate. The average smallholder’s resource decoupling rate from 2013 to 2017 is 0.86 kg fertilizer/kg fresh fruit bunch. This rate is 93.48% of the average of the companies (0.92 kg fertilizer/kg fresh fruit bunch) for the same period. Reducing the fertilizers …
Optimization Of Transportation Of Municipal Solid Waste From Resource To Intermediate Treatment Facility With Nearest Neighbour Method (Study On Six Sub Sub District In Dki Jakarta Province), Fahmi Hermawan
Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development
Population growth is always accompanied by an increase in waste generation. The issue of the increasing volume of waste becomes crucial if it is not balanced through proper handling efforts. The Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta through the Environment Agency of DKI Jakarta Province seeks to address the waste problem by constructing alternative facilities in the city’s waste processing facilities. The processing facilities referred to here are the Waste Power Generation or Intermediate Treatment Facility. The operational sustainability and the production output of the facility are influenced by the amount of waste supply as its raw material and are also …
