“…They can also be employed to reclaim eroded and degraded land [59][60][61]. Local communities in the Indonesian archipelago possess the knowledge to use many traditional local tree garden-repong damar, simpukng and tembawang agroforestry systems as climate-smart farming, to manage ecosystems and restore degraded land [15]. Considering the high costs involved in land restoration (approximately 260 USD to 2880 USD ha −1 , depending on the restoration method used and the condition of land) and global concern for large-scale restoration [27,62,63], involving communities through their agroforestry practices can have low-cost potential (approximately $181 US to $402 US ha −1 , see also Rahman et al [21]).…”

“…Agroforestry can be an important FLR approach with the potential to restore degraded land by reestablishing ecological processes, structures and ecosystem functions, while also enabling economic returns and the maintenance of livelihoods, local knowledge, and culture [12]. Agroforestry-based restoration projects across the tropics have been documented vividly by a number of scientific studies from Brazil to Mozambique and Indonesia [13][14][15][16][17].…”

When restoring degraded landscapes, approaches capable of striking a balance between improving environmental services and enhancing human wellbeing need to be considered. Agroforestry is an important option for restoring degraded land and associated ecosystem functions. Using survey, key informant interview and rapid carbon stock appraisal (RaCSA) methods, this study was conducted in five districts in West Java province to examine potential carbon stock in agroforestry systems practiced by smallholder farmers on degraded landscapes. Six agroforestry systems with differing carbon stocks were identified: gmelina (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) + cardamom (Amomum compactum); manglid (Magnolia champaca (L.) Baill. ex Pierre) + cardamom; caddam (Neolamarckiacadamba (Roxb.) Bosser) + cardamom; caddam + elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.); mixed-tree + fishpond; and mixed-tree lots. Compared to other systems, mixed-tree lots had the highest carbon stock at 108.9 Mg ha−1. Carbon stock variations related to species density and diversity. Farmers from research sites said these systems also prevent soil erosion and help to restore degraded land. Farmers’ adoption of agroforestry can be enhanced by the implementation of supportive policies and measures, backed by scientific research.

“…), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), Nipah (Nypa fruticans Wurmb), pineapple (ananas comosus), and banana (Musa paradisiaca) varieties are food-producing plants adapted to wet conditions or low-drainage peat swamp areas (Tata and Susmianto 2016; Uda et al 2020). As these foods are more likely to be culturally familiar, the use of such plants in agroforestry systems is also more likely to be accepted by local farmers, provided that they increase farmers' livelihoods, food security and nutrition (Samsudin et al 2020). Complex agroforestry systems can have physiognomy and structures similar to natural forests (de Foresta et al 2000;Murniati 2020), thus avoiding debate over whether land should be used for forestry or food production.…”

Linking food, nutrition and the environment in Indonesia: A perspective on sustainable food systems

Highlights• This brief reviews the interlinkages between food, nutrition and the environment in Indonesia, and the role of national food policies in addressing the challenges in these sectors.• While Indonesia is a mega-biodiverse country, nationally supported agricultural production programs tend to focus on a few high-value commodities, contributing to low dietary diversity.• Lessons from past food estate programs suggest that food system interventions that focus heavily on increasing monocropping, especially rice production, overlook the capacity of local people to develop their own food systems, while failing to provide healthy diets, and damaging the environment.• To move towards sustainable food systems, we argue that policies need to: focus on delivering healthy and diverse diets; support local food production practices that are environmentally sustainable; embrace local cultures and values; re-evaluate centralized and top-down policies; and avoid overly focusing on production of rice.• Policies that decentralize and localize food production can enhance resilience and the sustainability of food systems.

“…Pangan tersebut lebih familiar secara budaya, dan pemanfaatan tanaman tersebut dalam sistem agroforestri juga lebih mudah diterima oleh petani lokal, selama bisa meningkatkan penghasilan, serta ketahanan pangan dan gizi (Samsudin et al 2020). Sistem agroforestri kompleks bisa memiliki kontur lahan dan struktur yang mirip dengan hutan alami (de Foresta et al 2000; Murniati 2020), sehingga dapat menghindari perselisihan terkait fungsi lahan hutan atau produksi pangan.…”

Tulisan ini menelaah keterkaitan pangan, gizi, dan lingkungan hidup di Indonesia, serta peran kebijakan pangan nasional dalam menjawab tantangan di sektor-sektor tersebut.• Meski Indonesia merupakan negara mega-biodiversitas (sebutan untuk 17 negara dengan keanekaragaman hayati tertinggi di bumi), program nasional untuk mendukung produksi pertanian cenderung terfokus pada komoditas bernilai ekonomi tinggi, sehingga berkontribusi pada rendahnya keragaman pangan.• Pembelajaran dari program lumbung pangan terdahulu menunjukkan bahwa intervensi sistem pangan yang terpusat pada tanaman sejenis, khususnya produksi beras, mengabaikan kemampuan masyarakat lokal dalam mengembangkan sistem pangannya sendiri, serta merusak lingkungan, namun tetap gagal menyediakan pangan yang sehat.• Untuk melangkah menuju sistem pangan berkelanjutan, kami menyarankan agar kebijakan berfokus pada proses menghasilkan pangan yang sehat dan beragam; mendukung praktik produksi pangan lokal yang berkelanjutan bagi lingkungan; merangkul budaya dan kearifan lokal; mengkaji ulang kebijakan yang terpusat dan dilakukan dengan cara-cara otoritatif (top-down); serta menghindari perhatian yang hanya tertuju pada produksi beras. Kebijakan desentralisasi dan lokalisasi produksi pangan dapat meningkatkan ketahanan dan keberlanjutan sistem pangan.
