Food and energy development based on local potency, environmental degradation, and global perspectives

Abstract

Abstract Environmental degradation is increasingly threatened in line with the higher pressure on natural resources in an effort to liven up food production and biofuel energy. Food cannot be substituted by other products and can only be expanded through agronomic technology development, while energy can be generated from various sources, including by converting food into biofuels. Food and energy can be developed in Indonesia that has potential on the local endowment to produce food, generate primary energy (solar, wind, and water), and utilise new source renewable energy. In Indonesia, food and energy can be improved with enormous potency on local endowment to mount food production, produce primary energy (solar, wind, and water), as well as finding a new platform of renewable energy sources. Local or native food and the provision of alternative energy sources can encourage economic activity in local communities and promote bargaining positions in the global economy. Development on local food and alternative energy can be done by paying attention the use of local resource, function and role of community development and local organizations to support rural economic development and sustainable agriculture.
