funding, government policies, market needs, talent development, industry collaboration, and other relevant sectors. The Indonesian government set policy, the Go
Organic Campaign in 2010, to foster the farmers’ movement to grow organic paddy
was initiated in 2001. Many farmers, among others in Sleman, Garut, Sragen, and
Magelang have performed extensively since the early 2000s, while others have not
been interested because they do not know the benefits, especially for the improvement of soil properties (Utami and Handayani 2003; Saepurrohman 2003; Sugiyanto
et al. 2006, 2010). The positive impact of organic farming has been widely
recognized, among other things viz. producing quality products, environmentally
safe products, etc. However, farmers may face the risk of a decrease in production.
Farmers need to diversify risk or a reduction in adoption fees as an incentive.
Farmers need incentives so that they choose to adopt organic fertilizer for rice
production, technical assistance from the extensionist, and favorable pricing policy.
Overall, the Indonesian government underlines the bioeconomy strategy in its
Master Plan for Agricultural Development 2015–2045 (Priono 2016). It includes
sustainable agrobioindustry, the change of agricultural development paradigm, and
comprehensive research (agronomy, biomass processing, and integrated agribioindustry). Further, the government implemented climate-smart agriculture, pilot
model development of sustainable integrated agriculture bioindustry in 33 provinces,
Science and technopark development program, promotion of integrated croplivestock systems, and Organic Farming Village program.
10.8 Conclusion
The tropical ecosystems have biomass productivity more than10 times, but the
economic value is only half compared to temperate ecosystems. The new paradigm
from extraction to the empowerment of natural resources will provide new
challenges to move from the red and green economic concept to the blue economic
concept. The synergism between biological resources (flora, fauna, human) and land
resources (land, minerals, water, air, microclimate) by the development of Integrated
Bio-cycle Management (IBM) through empowerment of life cycle assessment as a
closed-to-natural ecosystem would manage our tropical natural resources through
multifunctional and multi-product system. Information about agroecosystem, life
cycle assessment, biowastes, bioenergy, bioeconomy on tropical natural resources
would give valuable concepts for sustainable development of smart tropical
agroecosystem. This integrated farming system can produce food, feed, fiber, fertilizer, wood, energy, water, oxygen, medicine, mysticism, and tourism, so they have
higher added values in environmental, economic, socio-cultural, and health aspects.
This system is essential for the sustainable and productive management of tropical
natural resources.
