“…Biofertilizers contain key plant nutrients in forms that support plant growth. They can increase soil nutrient availability, thus fostering plant growth while also reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers (Ronga et al, 2019;Guo et al, 2020;BHU, 2022;Cordeiro M. R. C. et al, 2022).…”

In 2021 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued the first volume of its latest authoritative report on climate change. Underlining the seriousness of the situation, the United Nations Secretary-General branded its findings a “code red for humanity.” The need for climate action is now evident, but finding viable pathways forward can be elusive. Microalgae have been attracting attention as a category of “future food,” with species like Arthrospira platensis (spirulina) and Chlorella vulgaris (chlorella) seeing growing uptake by consumers while research interest continues to expand. One timely but neglected question is whether microalgae might offer options for promising climate actions via their agri-food applications. Specifically, might they offer scope to help secure food supplies, while also providing climate resilient livelihood pathways for vulnerable farmers already grappling with food insecurity and environmental degradation? This paper reports on a review of the academic literature on microalgae as an agri-food technology, notably their uses as a food, feed, biofertilizer, biostimulant, and biochar. This family of applications was found to offer promising climate actions vis-à-vis both mitigating and adapting to climate change. Aspects pertinent to adaptation include growing rapidly under controlled conditions, reusing water, providing potent nutrition for humans and animals, and supporting resilient crop production. Agri-food applications of microalgae also provide opportunities to mitigate climate change that could be explored. The paper concludes by flagging possible risks and obstacles as well as research and policy priorities to elaborate and harness this potential.

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…The productivity in the tropics is influenced by the quality and quantity of feed, especially forage (Costa et al, 2021). The availability of sufficient feed is closely related to increased production (Cordeiro et al, 2022) as it is one of the main inputs in beef cattle production costs (Benedeti et al, 2021). Conventional feeding by prioritizing forage is expected to reduce production inputs because the feeds are easy to obtain at a low price.…”

The pattern of Bali cattle farming in Indonesia is dominated by traditional livestock systems which are identical to local feeding (without taking into account the needs of cattle. This study aims to determine the effect of conventional feeding on the productivity of Bali cattle in Lempake Village, North Samarinda Sub-district, Samarinda City. The study targeted male Bali cattle and measured chest circumference for body weight gain (BWG), Average Daily Gain (ADG), and feed weighing to obtain Dry Matter Intake (DMI) and feed efficiency. The data were analyzed using a multiple linear analysis with the help of a computer program SPSS to assess the correlation between productivity and the independent variables, namely X1 = DMI; X2 = BWG; X3 = ADG; and X4 = feed efficiency. The results showed that the samples had an average DMI, BWG, ADG, and feed efficiency of 16.54, 0.43, 0.43 kg/head/day, and 2.58%, respectively. The regression equation obtained was Y = -1,974+0,005X1-0,0559X2+ 11,685X3+ 1,1287X4 and the coefficient of determination revealed that all the variables had a 90.6% effect on Bali cattle productivity. Bali cattle had a productivity value of 1.85, which shows that the fattening business was profitable or economically feasible.
