(7) beneficial biological interactions between components in agroecosystems (agriculture and non-agriculture) to produce various products such as biocompost and
bioenergy (Altieri et al. 2017; Phelan 2009; Agus 2018; Agus et al. 2019a).
Sustainable agriculture is an implementation of the concept of sustainable development. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) set the global development
agenda until 2030. Sustainable agriculture and food system are central to the
SDG’s process and it directly and indirectly affects all 17 of these goals
(Table 10.1). Without proper nourishment, children cannot learn, people cannot
live healthy and productive, and societies cannot prosper (FAO 2017). Agroecology
provides a tool in the effort to build sustainable food systems and eventually
contribute to the targets set in the SDGs (FAO 2018; Farrelly 2016). It is expected
that agroecology will contribute to SDGs, particularly no poverty (SDG 1), zero
hunger (SDG 2), good health and well-being (SDG 3), decent work and economic
growth (SDG 8), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), climate action
(SDG 13), and life on land (SDG 15) (CNS-FAO 2019).

10.3 Integrated Bio-cycle Farming System
Our blue planet consisting of 71% Blue Ocean must be supported by blue earth
(Agus 2018). A red economy that is only economic oriented has resulted in environmental and life damage. A green economy is oriented towards environmental and
healthy values, even though it is expensive and dangerous. The blue economic
concept was developed by Gunter Pauli from ZERI Foundation in 2009 (Agus
et al. 2016) through the acceleration of the natural cycle process by empowering
land resources (land, water, and minerals), biology (plants, animals, and humans)
with economic added value, environment, social culture, technology, sustainable
management. The blue economy offers efficient investment, increased innovation,
increased funding, job creation, development of social capital, and entrepreneurial
stimulation (Agus 2018). It is carried out by utilizing waste and abandoned goods
into food, energy, and employment, thereby transforming poverty into sustainable
development, and scarcity becomes available. The blue economy has provided new
creative and innovative opportunities.
Bio-geo-tropical resources have high biomass productivity but are still of less
economic value. The Integrated Bio-cycle Farming System (IBFS) is an alternative
system that harmoniously combines the agricultural sector, and non-agricultural
aspects, in the management of landscape ecology. The cycle of energy, organic
matter and carbon, water, nutrition, production, crops, money is managed through
9R (reusing, reducing, recycling, refilling, replacing, repairing, replanting,
