Hal tersebut juga ditekankan oleh perwakilan-perwakilan dari ketiga organisasi penyelenggara dalam sambutan pembuka mereka, yang turut mengajak para peserta untuk berkolaborasi lebih jauh dalam menciptakan perubahan nyata menuju sistem pangan berkelanjutan melalui kesempatan ini.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Kebutuhan untuk memperkuat upaya ini menjadi semakin mendesak, sebagaimana menurut FAO, “kita perlu meningkatkan produksi pangan global hingga 60% pada tahun 2050 untuk memenuhi kebutuhan populasi dunia yang terus bertambah,” seperti yang disampaikan oleh Septi Mulyani Siregar, perwakilan CEO Zentide. Di sisi lain, tantangan menuju ketahanan pangan tahun 2050 juga kompleks dan berlapis. “Sekitar 82% lahan di Indonesia tergolong lahan suboptimal, sementara lahan yang ideal untuk pangan terus berkurang akibat alih fungsi. Tantangan lainnya datang dari semakin menua usia petani serta ketidakpastian iklim,” ujar Dinda Sonaloka, Asisten Manajer TJF. Mika Agustina, Direktur Operasional GF, juga menambahkan bahwa “anak muda dan para pegiat lingkungan memegang peran besar dalam mendorong perubahan menuju masa depan yang berkelanjutan melalui ide, inovasi, dan energi mereka.” <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dengan fokus yang beragam dari ketiga organisasi, webinar ini membahas tiga topik utama, yaitu: biosolusi untuk pertanian berkelanjutan oleh Zentide, ekonomi sirkular oleh GF, dan ketahanan pangan berkelanjutan oleh TJF. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sesi presentasi dibuka oleh <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Rijalul Umam<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">, Agronomis dan Sales Manager Zentide, yang membagikan wawasan mengenai biosolution sebagai jalan menuju pertanian berkelanjutan. Ia menyoroti urgensi untuk beralih dari ketergantungan terhadap bahan kimia, menjelaskan bahwa penggunaan pupuk sintetis secara berlebihan—yang awalnya dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan hasil panen—justru menyebabkan degradasi tanah, inefisiensi ekonomi bagi petani, dan memperburuk dampak perubahan iklim. Sebagai solusi, Zentide terus mengembangkan dan meneliti biosolusi untuk memulihkan kesehatan tanah, salah satunya melalui biostimulan alami berbahan dasar rumput laut tropis dari Lombok yang mampu mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia hingga 50%. Dengan memperbaiki ekosistem tanah dan meningkatkan penyerapan unsur hara, inovasi ini tidak hanya meningkatkan produktivitas tetapi juga memperkuat ketahanan pangan jangka panjang. Melalui kolaborasi dengan petani lokal, lembaga riset, dan universitas, Zentide membayangkan terbentuknya ekosistem pertanian yang menyeimbangkan kesejahteraan manusia dan kelestarian alam.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Selanjutnya, Greeneration Foundation (GF) yang diwakili oleh <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Fikli Perdana Kusuma<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">, <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Communication and Partnership Manager<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">, mengulas bagaimana ekonomi sirkular dapat menjadi model transformatif menuju masa depan berkelanjutan. Berbeda dengan sistem linear tradisional <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“ambil–buat–buang”<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">, ekonomi sirkular menekankan pada minimisasi limbah, menjaga nilai material, serta memulihkan sistem alam. Fikli menjelaskan bahwa kerangka ini kini telah masuk dalam Peta Jalan Ekonomi Sirkular Nasional Indonesia 2025–2035, dan dapat diterapkan di berbagai sektor—mulai dari industri, bisnis, komunitas, hingga rumah tangga. Melalui praktik seperti daur ulang, sistem isi ulang (<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">refill system<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">), dan pemilahan sampah, ekonomi sirkular tidak hanya mengurangi beban lingkungan, tetapi juga memperkuat fondasi ketahanan pangan dan sumber daya. Inisiatif komunitas GF seperti EcoRanger dan Driving Refill Solution menjadi contoh nyata bagaimana aksi lokal dan perubahan perilaku dapat bersama-sama membangun ekosistem yang lebih tangguh dan berkelanjutan.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sesi kemudian ditutup oleh tim riset Tay Juhana Foundation (TJF), yang diwakili oleh <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Rivaldo Herman<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> (Koordinator <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Research and Learning<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">) dan <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Safira Eka Aprianti<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> (Peneliti Agroforestri). Mereka membahas ketahanan pangan berkelanjutan melalui pertanian regeneratif di lahan suboptimal. Berdasarkan hasil riset TJF di Indragiri Hilir, Riau, wilayah yang didominasi oleh lahan gambut dan pasang surut, tim menjelaskan bagaimana sistem tata air dan agroforestry yang disesuaikan dengan kondisi lokal mampu memperkuat ketahanan di tengah tantangan iklim. Pendekatan pertanian regeneratif ini mengutamakan kesehatan tanah, keanekaragaman hayati, dan keseimbangan ekologi, sekaligus menjaga produktivitas dan kesejahteraan petani. Dengan menerapkan sistem tanam beragam dan integrasi antara tanaman dan ternak, praktik seperti agroforestri berbasis kelapa terbukti mampu meningkatkan stabilitas ekosistem sekaligus penghidupan masyarakat. Seperti ditekankan TJF, “tanah yang sehat sama dengan pangan yang sehat”, sebuah pengingat bahwa membangun ketahanan pangan harus dimulai dari memulihkan tanah dan memberdayakan petani sebagai penjaga keberlanjutan.<img src="https://be.tayjuhanafoundation.org/storage/images/98a3ea6b-9776-4671-8760-a2606d4196ce.png" width="1366" height="768"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dari seluruh rangkaian diskusi ini, semakin jelas bahwa upaya memperkuat ketahanan pangan masa depan perlu dilakukan dengan pendekatan sirkular—baik dalam sistem ekonomi maupun sistem pangan. Pendekatan yang menitikberatkan pada solusi alami, lokal, dan berkelanjutan dalam menjawab tantangan lingkungan. Dengan mengoptimalkan sumber daya lokal sambil menjaga keseimbangan ekologi, kita dapat membangun sistem pangan yang tangguh dan bermanfaat bagi semua. Upaya ini hanya dapat berhasil melalui kolaborasi erat lintas sektor yang terus belajar, berinovasi, dan beradaptasi bersama.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Nunito,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Melalui webinar ini, diharapkan semangat kolaboratif terus terbangun dan memperkuat langkah bersama menuju masa depan pangan yang lebih aman dan berkelanjutan.

Ringkasan Webinar: “Dari Bumi untuk Bumi: Ketahanan Pangan dan Ekonomi Sirkular Generasi Mendatang”

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lahan gambut tropis Indonesia tidak hanya berperan sebagai penyimpan karbon, tetapi juga sebagai rumah bagi komunitas-komunitas tangguh yang kehidupannya banyak bergantung pada tanah. Dengan luas mencapai lebih dari 13,43 juta hektare (lebih dari separuhnya berada di Sumatra), Kawasan Hidrologis Gambut (KHG) berperan penting dalam menjaga keseimbangan ekologi sekaligus mendukung kehidupan masyarakat di atasnya dari generasi ke generasi.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Di antara luasnya wilayah KHG di Indonesia, Provinsi Riau merupakan salah satu wilayah dengan bentang lahan gambut terbesar di Indonesia sekaligus pemilik lahan perkebunan yang luas. Dari luasnya lahan perkebunan tersebut, kelapa menjadi komoditas unggulan kedua setelah kepala sawit. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan besaran sumbangan Provinsi Riau terhadap total produksi kelapa nasional, yaitu sekitar 11%.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sebagai salah satu penyumbang produksi kelapa terbesar di Provinsi Riau, perkebunan kelapa di lahan gambut sudah menjadi bagian dari tradisi lokal di Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir (Inhil), Riau. Sistem perkebunannya sebagian besar dikelola oleh petani kecil dengan menggunakan praktik tradisional yang telah diadaptasi secara lokal dan diwariskan secara lintas generasi. Berbeda dengan perkebunan industri besar, perkebunan petani kecil biasanya beroperasi dalam skala kecil—mengandalkan tenaga kerja manual, metode tradisional, dan kondisi tanah alami, dengan sedikit penggunaan mesin atau input kimia, serta akses terbatas ke pasar yang lebih besar. Namun, dalam sistem yang sederhana ini, kelestarian alam dan keberlangsungan komunitas tetap dapat berjalan beriringan. Pohon kelapa yang telah lama tumbuh di lahan gambut di Inhil bukan hanya berperan sebagai sumber penghasilan, melainkan menjadi bagian dari sebuah ekosistem di mana tanah, air, dan masyarakat saling berhubungan erat melalui interaksi terus menerus.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Satu Kesatuan Hubungan Manusia dan Alam<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Untuk memahami lebih dalam hubungan ini, kami menggunakan pendekatan Sistem Sosio-Ekologis (Socio-Ecological System/SES), yaitu cara pandang yang melihat <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">manusia dan alam sebagai satu kesatuan dalam sebuah ekosistem besar<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">, dalam <a style="text-decoration:none;" href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10668-025-06756-6?utm_source=rct_congratemailt&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=oa_20250913&amp;utm_content=10.1007%2Fs10668-025-06756-6"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#1155cc;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">riset kami</a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">. Pendekatan ini memandang manusia dan alam bukan sebagai dua hal terpisah, melainkan komponen yang saling berinteraksi dan memengaruhi.

Walaupun mereka mengandalkan sumber penghasilan utamanya pada perkebunan kelapa monokultur, mereka berhasil menciptakan berbagai cara untuk bertahan hidup dan memperkuat ketahanan ekonomi rumah tangganya.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Salah satu caranya adalah dengan <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">merotasi peran kerja<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">. Karena masa panen yang berjarak antara beberapa bulan sekali, banyak petani yang memanfaatkan waktu di sela-selanya untuk bekerja sebagai buruh di kebun milik teman atau tetangganya. Dengan begitu, petani di Inhil dapat memiliki sumber pendapatan lebih dengan merangkap sebagai pemilik lahan sekaligus buruh kebun. Walau begitu, sistem rotasi ini tidak selalu dibayar dengan uang—sebagaimana pemahaman modern akan penghidupan—tapi dengan kesepakatan bersama untuk gotong royong merotasi peran kerja dan konsumsi kerja. Pola ini tidak hanya cukup memperkuat ekonomi rumah tangga petani dengan menghemat biaya pekerja, tetapi juga mempererat ikatan kekeluargaan antar warga.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Selain itu, cara yang dilakukan oleh petani, salah satunya, adalah menerapkan pertanian <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">tumpangsari<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> dengan menanam pinang, pisang, ubi, nanas, dan tanaman lainnya di sela-sela pohon kelapa. Tanaman-tanaman ini membantu memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga petani untuk dikonsumsi pribadi sekaligus menambah penghasilan kecil-kecilan dengan penjualan skala kecil. Di saat hasil kelapa menurun karena cuaca atau harga pasar, hasil tumpangsari dapat menjadi jaring pengaman bagi stabilitas ekonomi keluarga petani.<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Kedua cara ini menunjukkan bagaimana kearifan lokal dan gotong royong dalam komunitas dapat menjadi pondasi untuk menjaga keberlanjutan hidup komunitas tersebut di lahan yang rentan. <img src="https://be.tayjuhanafoundation.org/storage/images/c3c756ba-4004-483e-876f-88f3b3814d77.jpg" width="4240" height="2400"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Menyambung Cerita dari Tanah Gambut Inhil<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Apa yang dilakukan para petani di Inhil adalah potret kecil dari kisah besar tentang hubungan manusia dan alam.

Agroforestri di Indragiri Hilir: Solusi Ketahanan Pangan dan Resiliensi Lahan Gambut

When we think about food sources, vast rice fields, fertile farmland, or abundant oceans often come to mind. However, we often overlook wetlands, despite their crucial role in feeding billions of people worldwide. As dynamic ecosystems where land and water intersect, wetlands have long fascinated scientists and agricultural experts. These unique landscapes are not only biodiversity hotspots and natural carbon sinks but also hold immense potential for sustainable farming. Harnessing their fertility while overcoming environmental challenges requires innovation and collaboration.Wetlands, characterised by the intersection of aquatic and terrestrial environments, have long intrigued researchers and agricultural experts. Wetlands International states that these unique ecosystems offer considerable value, functioning as crucial biodiversity hotspots, natural carbon sinks, and fertile soils conducive to sustainable agricultural practices. The conversion of these fertile yet difficult conditions into productive agricultural systems requires creativity and cooperative efforts. Indonesia encompasses roughly 40.5 million hectares of wetlands, which constitutes about 20% of the nation’s overall land area. This makes wetlands, such as peatland and swampland, an important resource for improving national food security.Recognising this potential, the Tay Juhana Foundation (TJF) convened TJF Sharing Session (TSS) #1, with the theme Farming in Wetlands, on March 13, 2025. The event brought together farmers, researchers, and community leaders to explore the opportunities, best practices, and challenges of wetland-based farming. The interactive event included farmers, researchers, and community leaders, providing practical experiences and scientific insights on the role of wetlands in fostering resilient and productive agriculture.<a href="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-228363" src="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1.png" width="1114" height="556" loading="lazy" srcset="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1.png 1114w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1-300x150.png 300w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1-1024x511.png 1024w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1-768x383.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1114px) 100vw, 1114px"></a>The discussion starts with story sharing from Hermawan, a rice farmer from Rambutan Village in South Sumatra who began cultivating peatland two years ago when the soil was compact, highly acidic, and nearly barren. With the support of the Centre for International Forestry Research—World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) in South Sumatra, Hermawan implemented zero-burning techniques, built  dams and canals for effective water management, and converted weeds and livestock waste into nutrient-rich compost.His dedication paid off; rice production surged from 2.3 to 5 tonnes per hectare. More importantly, his success has inspired fellow farmers to adopt similar sustainable practices, proving that environmentally friendly farming can also be profitable.<a href="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-228365" src="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2.png" width="1116" height="584" loading="lazy" srcset="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2.png 1116w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2-300x157.png 300w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2-1024x536.png 1024w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2-768x402.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1116px) 100vw, 1116px"></a>The second discussion is carried out by Dedek Putri Mufarroha, the SLAI (Suboptimal Land Agriculture Initiative) Enumerator. Kampung Gambut, located in North Pontianak, West Kalimantan, is a successful village with vast vegetable fields stretching as far as the eye can see. Farmers in this area view innovation and open communication as important to their success. The village’s transformation into a leading vegetable grower can be attributed in part to the leadership of local cooperative head Irwansyah, who has transformed the hamlet into a major crop provider.Farmers in Kampung Gambut learn from one another, adopting techniques such as using dolomite to regulate soil acidity.  They understand that collective effort, rather than reliance on outside help, drives progress. However, challenges remain. Despite harvesting 7–8 tonnes of vegetables daily, market prices often fail to reflect their hard work.<a href="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-228367" src="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3.png" width="1104" height="584" loading="lazy" srcset="https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3.png 1104w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3-300x159.png 300w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3-1024x542.png 1024w, https://old.tayjuhanafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3-768x406.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1104px) 100vw, 1104px"></a>Lastly, we discuss the scientific explanation about sustainable farming on wetland. This topic is presented by Rabbirl Yarham Mahardika, who emphasises the extensive historical and scientific relevance of tropical peatlands. A study conducted by <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abb853/pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monika Ruwaimana et al. (2020) </a>highlights a significant contrast between the comparatively young coastal peatlands in Rasau Jaya and the centuries-old interior peatlands in Kapuas Hulu, with some dating back approximately 49,600 years.Beyond their geological significance, peatlands serve as vital habitats for endangered species and function as crucial carbon sinks. However, without proper water management and sustainable practices, these ecosystems face rapid degradation. Protecting peatlands is not just about conservation. It is a fundamental step toward strengthening climate resilience and securing food systems for future generations.Wetlands offer immense potential for agriculture, supporting rice, sago, and horticultural crops while providing a consistent water supply for aquaculture and biodiversity that enhances agroforestry and polyculture systems. The key takeaway from the TSS event was clear: sustainable wetland agriculture requires continuous  innovation, adaptation, and collaboration. It is about finding harmony between nature and human needs.  The escalation of climate uncertainty, indigenous wisdom, collective knowledge, and novel methodologies are proving essential for building resilience.To explore the discussion in more detail, feel free to rewatch the full session through the following link: <a href="https://youtu.be/VYu9uBGSwmA?si=kvD6d2Uehef17UR8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TJF Sharing Session 2025 – Bertani di Lahan Basah</a>

Peatland Agriculture Potential for Food Production

Sustainable Peatland Cultivation Example – <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indonesia</a>, a country rich in natural resources, is home to some of the most extensive peatland ecosystems in the world. These vast wetlands are more than just landscapes; they are crucial carbon sinks that help mitigate climate change, support biodiversity, and sustain the livelihoods of millions. However, rapid land conversion, unsustainable farming methods, and deforestation have led to severe peatland degradation, causing long-term environmental and economic consequences.The challenge now is to cultivate peatlands in a way that balances environmental conservation with economic productivity. Sustainable peatland cultivation offers a solution—one that not only restores damaged ecosystems but also provides opportunities for sustainable agriculture. The Tay Juhana Foundation is at the forefront of this movement, demonstrating that responsible peatland cultivation can be both profitable and ecologically beneficial.<h2>Sustainable Peatland Cultivation Example – Innovative Solutions for a Greener Future</h2>In Indonesia, where millions depend on agriculture, the shift towards sustainable peatland cultivation is no longer a choice but a necessity. Traditional farming techniques often involve drainage, which leads to peat oxidation, making the soil vulnerable to fires and carbon emissions. However, sustainable methods focus on maintaining water levels, utilizing peat-friendly crops, and adopting eco-conscious farming systems.The Tay Juhana Foundation exemplifies how innovative approaches can transform degraded peatlands into productive yet environmentally friendly agricultural landscapes. By implementing water management strategies, such as canal blocking and re-wetting, peatlands can retain their moisture, reducing the risk of fires and ensuring soil health. Additionally, the cultivation of suitable crops like sago, pineapple, and jelutung provides farmers with a stable income while preserving the integrity of peat soil.Through this approach, sustainable peatland cultivation example is not just about growing crops; it’s about fostering a long-term vision where economic prosperity and environmental conservation go hand in hand.

Sustainable Peatland Cultivation Example for a Greener Future

Sustainable Peatland Management in Indonesia – <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indonesia</a>, with its vast archipelago and diverse ecosystems, is home to some of the world’s most critical peatlands. These unique wetlands serve as natural carbon sinks, storing massive amounts of carbon and playing a crucial role in global climate regulation. Rich in biodiversity, they provide a habitat for countless plant and animal species, many of which are endemic to the region. However, human activities such as deforestation, agricultural expansion, and drainage for plantations have severely threatened these ecosystems. The loss of peatlands not only endangers wildlife but also disrupts water cycles and increases the risk of natural disasters.As peatlands degrade, they release significant amounts of greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change and worsening air pollution through frequent peat fires. These fires have caused severe environmental and health crises, affecting millions of people across Southeast Asia. Without proper intervention, the destruction of peatlands will continue to accelerate, leading to irreversible ecological damage. Sustainable peatland management in Indonesia is now a crucial strategy to restore these ecosystems while supporting local communities that depend on them. By integrating conservation with sustainable peatland management in Indonesia development, Indonesia can safeguard its peatlands and secure a more resilient future for both people and nature.<h2>The Importance of Sustainable Peatland Management in Indonesia</h2>Peatlands in Indonesia play a pivotal role in the nation’s ecological and economic framework. These wetlands act as carbon sinks, sequestering vast amounts of CO2, and are home to unique flora and fauna that thrive only in these habitats. Unfortunately, unsustainable practices like slash-and-burn agriculture and drainage for palm oil plantations have led to peatland fires, which release significant greenhouse gases and cause harmful haze affecting millions.Sustainable peatland management in Indonesia is more than just an environmental necessity; it is a commitment to securing livelihoods, protecting biodiversity, and addressing climate change.
