TOPIK

Di dunia saat ini dengan 7,6 miliar penduduk, seperempat populasi tidak memiliki akses rutin terhadap makanan sehat dan hampir 1 miliar orang hidup dalam kelaparan. Sementara itu, lebih dari 2,5 miliar orang mengonsumsi terlalu banyak, yang mengakibatkan kelebihan berat badan dan obesitas. Tiga beban malnutrisi ini menantang visi kita untuk mencapai ketahanan pangan yang memiliki empat pilar utama: ketersediaan, akses, pemanfaatan, dan stabilitas. Bagaimana kita dapat mengatasi masalah yang kompleks dan saling terkait ini?

<h2 class="relative p-1 rounded-sm flex items-center justify-center bg-token-main-surface-primary text-token-text-primary h-8 w-8"><strong>Water Management Process in Peatland for Agriculture</strong></h2><p>Peatland is one of the unique ecosystems that presents both challenges and great potential for agriculture. With its wet nature, rich organic content, but vulnerability to degradation, water management becomes a crucial aspect in utilizing peatland for <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agriculture</a>. Proper water management not only supports agricultural productivity but also preserves the ecological function of peatland as a carbon sink and biodiversity habitat.</p><h3><strong>Challenges in Water Management in Peatland</strong></h3><p>Peatland has unique hydrological characteristics, with high moisture levels and a great capacity to store water. However, draining peatland for agricultural activities without proper management can lead to various problems, such as:</p><ul><li><p>Carbon Emissions: Excessive drainage oxidizes organic materials in peat, generating large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions.</p></li><li><p>Ecosystem Degradation: Drought causes peatland soil to lose its ecological function as a natural habitat.</p></li><li><p>Land Fires: Dry peatland is highly prone to fires, resulting in economic and environmental losses.</p></li></ul><p>For this reason, proper water management is key to successfully utilizing peatland for agriculture while ensuring the sustainability of its ecosystem.</p><h3><strong>Water Management Process in Peatland</strong></h3><p>Water management in peatland requires a holistic approach based on its hydrological characteristics. The following are the main processes in peatland water management:</p><h4><strong>1. Construction of Canal Blocks</strong></h4><p>Canals built in peatland often lead to excessive drainage. To address this issue, canal blocks are used to control water flow and maintain optimal soil moisture levels. These blocks help prevent excessive drying, which could trigger fires and soil degradation.</p><h4><strong>2. Rewetting (Re-moistening of Peatland)</strong></h4><p>Degraded peatland due to excessive drainage needs to undergo rewetting or re-moistening. This process involves refilling water into peat soil layers to restore its hydrological function. Rewetting also helps reduce carbon emissions from dry peatland.</p><h4><strong>3. Integrated Drainage Management</strong></h4><p>The drainage system in peatland must be carefully designed to balance agricultural water needs while preserving the ecological functions of peatland. Drainage regulation includes controlling water flow to maintain optimal moisture levels.</p><h4><strong>4. Regular Hydrological Monitoring</strong></h4><p>Monitoring groundwater levels regularly is essential to ensure the success of peatland water management. Hydrological data helps determine necessary actions, such as adjusting canal blocks or conducting rewetting if needed.</p><h4><strong>5. Community Involvement</strong></h4><p>Local communities play an important role in peatland water management. Through education and training, they can be taught to utilize land sustainably, such as adopting eco-friendly irrigation techniques or cultivating crops suited for peatland conditions.</p><h3><strong>Benefits of Proper Water Management in Peatland</strong></h3><p>Proper water management in peatland provides significant benefits, both environmentally and economically:</p><h4><strong>1. Enhancing Agricultural Productivity</strong></h4><p>By maintaining optimal moisture levels, peatland can be used effectively for agriculture, such as cultivating sago, coconut, or vegetables that tolerate high humidity.</p><h4><strong>2. Preventing Ecosystem Degradation</strong></h4><p>Water management helps protect peatland from degradation, reducing the risk of fires, and preserving natural habitats for flora and fauna.</p><h4><strong>3. Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions</strong></h4><p>By keeping peatland wet, carbon emissions from peat oxidation can be significantly reduced, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.</p><h3><strong>Water Management in Peatland for Agriculture</strong></h3><p>Water management in peatland for agriculture is a critical step in ensuring its sustainable utilization. This process includes various methods, such as canal blocks, rewetting, and hydrological monitoring, all of which aim to balance agricultural needs and the ecological functions of peatland for agriculture.</p><p>One successful example is <a href="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/our-work/our-project/peatland-research/" target="_new" rel="noopener">Tay Juhana Foundation</a>, which has successfully optimized peatland for agriculture through sustainable farming practices. They not only provide food for communities but also protect the environment through effective water management.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tayjuhanafoundation/?hl=id" target="_new" rel="noopener">Tay Juhana Foundation</a> proves that with support and collaboration, challenges can be turned into opportunities. Let’s work together to support peatland water management for agriculture, for a greener, more sustainable, and prosperous future.</p><p><strong>Let’s take action for a better future, today.</strong> 🌍</p>

Water Management Process in Peatland for Agriculture

<p>Today, India has 377 million urban population (21% of Asia) who all expect high income, employment, and improved services and access to the cities. The country has 53 cities with more than a million population. The underlined issue in India’s urban area was land use and land cover change where the area for agriculture keeps decreasing over the years. Conversely, the population and built-up area are growing. It results in some concerns such as the growth of vehicle ownership, emission of SO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, and Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), also the rising phenomenon of smog and urban heat island. These concerns have been proven to affect human health where the mortality rate due to chronic respiratory illness (e.g. pneumonia, influenza, asthma, and bronchitis) was increased since 2002.</p><p><img class="size-full wp-image-224494 aligncenter" src="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Swot-Analysis-of-Urban-Agriculture.png" alt="Swot Analysis of Urban Agriculture" width="773" height="541" loading="lazy" srcset="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Swot-Analysis-of-Urban-Agriculture.png 773w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Swot-Analysis-of-Urban-Agriculture-400x280.png 400w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Swot-Analysis-of-Urban-Agriculture-480x336.png 480w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Swot-Analysis-of-Urban-Agriculture-300x210.png 300w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Swot-Analysis-of-Urban-Agriculture-768x538.png 768w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Swot-Analysis-of-Urban-Agriculture-610x427.png 610w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px"></p><p>India is known for its diverse agricultural crop products across varied environment. In recent years, there was a change in the cropping pattern, particularly the decline in food grains production caused by industrial demand for other products and climate factors. Therefore, urban food production is expected to mitigate the challenge. To implement the practice sustainably, a tailor-made approach that considers local geography and knowledge, environment stewardship, and scientific technology. There is a reinforcing loop between resilient agriculture practice, food, and nutrition security, health and well-being, social inclusion and equity, also investment in both environmental and socio-economic capitals. The focus on urban food production with community inclusion is highlighted through four Es: Enable, Engage, Exemplify, and Encourage.</p><p> </p><p>Urban agriculture can involve animal husbandry, aquaculture, agroforestry, urban beekeeping, horticulture, and floriculture. These activities can be as well conducted in the peri-urban area, with women having a vital role as homemaker and cultivator. Nevertheless, there are different strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) which should be identified for specific urban or peri-urban area. The analysis will include water conservation for urban agriculture purpose. Wastewater reuse using the nanotechnology application is one way to provide the agricultural water demand. There is also a need to invest and improve resource productivity, for example, by applying cleaner processing and using more materials from recycling industry. By considering and utilizing these mentioned approaches, it is expected that enhanced urban agriculture can reduce the urban risk and improve livelihoods.</p><p> </p><h6>Source: Presentation of Prof RB Singh (University of Delhi) during The 6th International Conference of Jabodetabek Study Forum “Urban-Rural and Upland-Coastal Connectivities in Managing Sustainable Urbanizing World” IPB International Convention Center, 29 August 2018</h6>
