The Need for Innovation in Increasing Agricultural Production Economic resilience needs to be strengthened as one of the seven agendas of the RPJMN-2020-2024. Innovation and investment as the main capital for economic resilience need to be increased in use to encourage sustainable economic growth, to provide welfare to the wider community in a fair and equitable manner. The contribution of economic growth in the agricultural […]
Realizing Food Estates Several international media reported that there was a food shortage disaster to meet the food needs of the world’s population. Currently, it is reported that 44 countries are experiencing serious hunger. The population of Indonesia is estimated to be 7-16% still vulnerable to famine. The global agricultural challenge until 2050 must increase food production by 70%, grains by 43% and meat production […]
Increasing the Productivity of Food Crops Domestic rice production in the 2018-2023 period decreased by -1.91%, while domestic demand continues to increase in tandem with the increase in the number of populations, relatively high consumption amid the negative impact of climate change. The decline in production is due to the reduction of harvest acreage and the decrease in productivity. Dr. Suwandi, Director General of Food […]
Transfer of Agricultural Technology to Increase Food Crop Production The lessons learned from the success of increasing food crop production, especially rice in Indonesia from an importing country before the Green Revolution to a rice self-sufficient country for the first time in 1984, can be achieved mainly because of technology transfer through the synergy of researchers-extension workers and farmers. Over time, the issuance of the […]
Strategies to Increase Rice Productivity Dr. Suwandi, Director General of Food Crops in his keynote speech outlined the steps being taken to increase rice production through extensification and intensification. Extensification is carried out by expanding the planting area and increasing the planting index. Intensification is carried out by increasing the yield potential of new high-yielding varieties of rice and improving crop cultivation management. Propaktani episode […]
Strategies for Farmers to Increase Productivity and Food Production The role of farmers is very important in efforts to increase food production, because there is still a yield gap between the yield obtained by farmers and the yield of research or demonstration plots. In addition, there are still yield gaps between locations and between growing seasons and also there are still vacant/sleeping lands that have […]
Optimizing Dryland Potential Indonesia’s domestic food production must continue to be increased in quantity and quality to achieve food independence, in line with the increase in population which in 2024 has reached 281 million people with low consumption diversity. Propaktani episode 1085 organized by APPERTANI is one of the efforts to increase domestic food production by optimizing the potential of dry land. Dr. Suwandi, Director […]
Food Crops and Horticultural Commodities Down Streaming Propaktani episode 1055 organized by APPERTANI is a continuation of the topic of agricultural downstream episode 1006. This episode focuses more on the downstream of local food from food crops and horticultural commodities from potential industrial trees to be developed to optimize added value. Dr. Suwandi, Director General of Food Crops encourages people to consume local food, love […]
Agricultural Down Streaming The government continues to encourage downstream in all sectors, including the agricultural sector to create jobs. Dr. Suwandi, Director General of Food Crops stressed the importance of the role of innovation technology and technology transfer to shift the agricultural production curve to improve the welfare of farmers. Downstream needs to be encouraged to be carried out by Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises […]
Agricultural Infrastructure Increasing Production Early experience of the Green Revolution adoption that the development of agricultural infrastructure strongly supports the introduction of new technologies to increase crop production, especially rice. Indonesia’s current agricultural infrastructure is at the same level as the Philippines, very lagging when compared to the People’s Republic of China. In Webinar Episode 986, APPERTANI had the opportunity to organize a webinar with […]
