Usaha budi daya ayam petelur telah menjadi salah satu penggerak penting perekonomian di berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Selain memberikan kontribusi terhadap aktivitas usaha dan perdagangan lokal, subsektor ini juga membuka peluang kerja bagi jutaan orang di sepanjang rantai pasoknya. Dengan terus berkembangnya pasar dan kebutuhan masyarakat, peran subsektor ini semakin signifikan dalam mendukung dinamika perekonomian.Namun demikian, di tengah peran strategis tersebut, dunia perunggasan juga tengah menghadapi dinamika baru. Tren global menunjukkan meningkatnya kepedulian terhadap isu kesejahteraan hewan dan keamanan pangan, khususnya dalam sistem pemeliharaan ayampetelur. Konsumen global kini tidak hanya menuntut ketersediaan produk yang terjangkau dan aman, tetapi juga ingin mengetahui bagaimana produk itu dihasilkan.Jika ditarik ke belakang, budi daya ayam petelur di dunia pada awalnya bermula dari pola pemeliharaan sederhana di pekarangan rumah. Produksi telur ketika itu sangat terbatas karena dipengaruhi faktor lingkungan, ancaman predator, dan ketersediaan pakan. Perkembangan teknologi kemudian membawa perubahan besar, dimana perbaikan genetik, peningkatan kualitas pakan dan air, serta otomatisasi pengumpulan telur mampu mendongkrak produktivitas peternakan ayam petelur. Dari sinilah lahir sistem semi-intensif yang memanfaatkan ruang tertutup, dan kemudian berlanjut pada penggunaan kandang modern sejak era 1960-an.

Ketersediaan beras sebagai pangan pokok masyarakat Indonesia tidak hanya dituntut untuk terpenuhi dari sisi jumlahnya, tetapi juga dari kemampuannya mendukung pencapaian swasembada pangan yang berkelanjutan. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, dinamika kebutuhan pangan nasional terus berkembang seiring meningkatnya kebutuhan konsumsi, perubahan pola produksi, serta tantangan ketahanan pangan di berbagai daerah.   Upaya penyediaan beras yang stabil dan bermutu menjadi aspek penting dalam memperkuat ketahanan pangan nasional. Sejalan dengan itu, BRMP Padi – Balai Besar Perakitan dan Modernisasi Pertanian Tanaman Padi terus menguatkan perannya dalam merakit dan menyediakan varietas-varietas unggul yang adaptif dan berdaya saing untuk mendukung pertanian padi modern.   Tantangan produksi padi pada musim-musim mendatang diperkirakan semakin kompleks. Perubahan iklim yang semakin ekstrem, pergeseran pola musim tanam, kejadian banjir dan kekeringan yang muncul dengan intensitas lebih tinggi, serta meningkatnya serangan organisme pengganggu tumbuhan menuntut adanya strategi antisipasi dan mitigasi yang tepat. Modernisasi pertanian menjadi langkah penting dalam menjawab tantangan tersebut. Varietas Unggul Baru (VUB) padi merupakan salah satu komponen teknologi yang terbukti berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan produktivitas serta menjaga keberlanjutan produksi. Melalui kegiatan perakitan varietas, BRMP Padi telah menghadirkan berbagai VUB yang memberi keleluasaan bagi petani dalam menentukan varietas yang sesuai dengan teknik budidaya dan kondisi agroekosistem masing-masing. Ketersediaan alternatif VUB yang beragam diharapkan mendukung stabilitas produksi dan meningkatkan daya adaptasi varietas terhadap berbagai cekaman biotik dan abiotik.

Buku “Kekayaan Varietas Lokal Padi Terdaftar di Indonesia Tahun 2005-2025” adalah salah satu jejak perjalanan panjang bangsa dalam merawat sumber kehidupan paling mendasar: padi. Di dalamnya, kita diajak menyelami bagaimana setiap varietas lokal bukan sekadar benih, tetapi jejak pengetahuan leluhur, kerja keras petani, dan harmoni manusia dengan alam yang terjaga berabad-abad.Melalui bahasa yang mengalir, buku ini menceritakan bagaimana ratusan varietas, dari Pandanwangi hingga Anak Daro, dari Sibousoi hingga Sidatang, lahir, tumbuh, dan bertahan sebagai identitas daerah sekaligus penopang ketahanan pangan nasional. Di tengah gempuran modernisasi dan tantangan perubahan iklim, buku ini menunjukkan bahwa keberagaman plasma nutfah adalah benteng terakhir sekaligus fondasi masa depan pertanian Indonesia. Melalui pendokumentasian resmi sejak 2005 hingga 2025, pembaca diajak memahami proses pendaftaran varietas, peran pemerintah daerah, dan kerja besar petani pelestari.Buku ini bukan hanya catatan ilmiah, tetapi juga pengingat bahwa swasembada pangan tidak berdiri di atas teknologi semata, melainkan pada kekuatan genetik lokal yang diwariskan generasi demi generasi. Sebuah karya penting bagi siapa pun yang ingin memahami akarketahanan pangan Indonesia.

Burung hantu (Tyto sp.) merupakan agen pengendalian hayati tikus yang paling bagus dan efektif untuk menekan populasi tikus. Agar mampu berkinerja maksimal, pemanfaatan burung hantu harus sesuai dengan karakteristik biologi dan ekologinya. Buku ini disusun untuk meluruskan persepsi dan salah kaprah dalam pemanfaatan burung hantu untuk pengendalian tikus, terutama di lahan sawah. Misalnya penempatan rumah burung hantu (rubuha) dan ketiadaan tempat bertengger di sawah untuk mengintai tikus. Peran ekologis burung hantu dapat dioptimalkan dengan menyediakan lingkungan yang lebih sesuai, juga meminimalisir kemungkinan terjadi benturan kepentingan antar masyarakat,soalnya dengan peternak burung walet.

Perkembangan mekanisasi pertanian telah menjadi salah satu strategi utama untuk meningkatkan produktivitas, efisiensi, dan daya saing sektor pertanian di Indonesia. Namun, keberhasilan mekanisasi tidak hanya ditentukan oleh kecanggihan teknologi, tetapi juga oleh sejauh mana alat dan mesin pertanian dirancang sesuai dengan kemampuan, karakteristik, dan keterbatasan manusia sebagai operatornya. Ketidaksesuaian antara manusia dan mesin dapat meningkatkan risiko kelelahan kerja, gangguan muskuloskeletal (Musculoskeletal Disorders/MSDs), penurunan produktivitas, hingga terjadinya kecelakaan kerja. Oleh karena itu, penerapan prinsip-prinsip ergonomi menjadi bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari pembangunan pertanian modern.Buku Ergonomi & Penerapannya pada Mekanisasi Pertanian hadir sebagai salah satu referensi yang secara khusus membahas integrasi ilmu ergonomi dalam bidang mekanisasi pertanian, suatu topik yang masih relatif terbatas dibahas dalam literatur berbahasa Indonesia. Buku ini menguraikan konsep ergonomi mulai dari sejarah perkembangannya, prinsip-prinsip dasar, pendekatan sistem, ergonomi fisik, ergonomi kognitif, ergonomi organisasi, hingga hubungan antara manusia, mesin, dan lingkungan kerja dalam perspektif industri modern. Pembahasan juga dikaitkan dengan perkembangan Revolusi Industri 5.0 yang menempatkan manusia sebagai pusat dalam sistem manufaktur dan otomasi.Selain memberikan landasan teoritis yang kuat, buku ini menjelaskan secara komprehensif perkembangan mekanisasi pertanian di Indonesia, mulai dari perannya dalam mendukung swasembada pangan, klasifikasi alat dan mesin pertanian pada berbagai tahapan budidaya padi, analisis tingkat mekanisasi pertanian secara nasional, hingga strategi pengembangannya di masa depan. Berbagai data empiris, hasil penelitian terkini, ilustrasi, serta contoh implementasi di lapangan disajikan untuk memberikan pemahaman yang lebih aplikatif tentang pentingnya desain alat dan mesin pertanian yang aman, nyaman, efisien, dan berpusat pada manusia.Ditulis berdasarkan pengalaman akademik, penelitian, dan praktik konsultasi di bidang ergonomi dan mekanisasi pertanian, buku ini diharapkan menjadi referensi bagi mahasiswa, dosen, peneliti, perancang alat dan mesin pertanian, serta penyuluh pertanian yang ingin mengembangkan sistem mekanisasi pertanian yang tidak hanya meningkatkan produktivitas, tetapi juga menjaga kesehatan, keselamatan, dan kesejahteraan operator. Dengan pendekatan yang memadukan aspek teknologi, manusia, dan sistem kerja, buku ini memberikan perspektif baru bahwa keberhasilan mekanisasi pertanian harus dibangun melalui harmonisasi antara inovasi teknologi dan prinsip-prinsip ergonomi demi mewujudkan pertanian Indonesia yang modern, berkelanjutan, dan berdaya saing.

Pertanian selalu menjadi tumpuan harapan dalam penyediaan pangansuatu bangsa. Sayangnya, dunia pertanian belum menjadi kebanggaanbagi generasi muda. Petani yang mengelola lahan pertanian, sebagianbesar sudah berada pada usia menjelang lansia. Tingkat pendidikanmereka juga tidak mendukung sepenuhnya usaha pertanian, karenamasih banyak petani yang belum tamat hingga pendidikan dasar. Kondisi tersebut tentunya menimbulkan keprihatinan bagipemerintah, yaitu di Kementerian Pertanian (Kementan). Upayamendorong tumbuhnya semangat berkiprah di dunia pertanianbagi generasi muda harus terus dilakukan melalui berbagai programkegiatan. Salah satu upaya Kementan melalui Badan Penyuluhan danPengembangan SDM Pertanian (BPPSDMP), yaitu membentuk BrigadePangan. Brigade Pangan (BP) merupakan kelompok usaha tani yangberanggotakan para petani milenial, yang di dalamnya dibagi dalamstruktur tugas yaitu manajer, sekretaris, divisi keuangan dan umum,divisi produksi, divisi alsintan, divisi panen, pengolahan, dan pemasaran,serta hilirisasi.

Technologies to harvest marine renewable energies (MREs) are at a pre-commercial stage, and significant R&D progress is still required in order to improve their competitiveness. Therefore, hybridization presents a significant potential, as it fosters synergies among the different harvesting technologies and resources. In the scope of this Special Issue, hybridization is understood in three different manners: (i) combination of technologies to harvest different MREs (e.g., wave energy converters combined with wind turbines); (ii) combination of different working principles to harvest the same resource (e.g., oscillating water column with an overtopping device to harvest wave energy); or (iii) integration of harvesting technologies in multifunctional platforms and structures (e.g., integration of wave energy converters in breakwaters). This Special Issue presents cutting-edge research on the development and testing of hybrid technologies for harvesting MREs and intends to inform intere

Coastal ecosystems are dynamic, complex, and often fragile transition environments between land and oceans. They are exclusive habitats for a broad range of living organisms, functioning as havens for biodiversity and providing several important ecological services that link terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. Humans living in coastal zones have been strongly dependent on these ecosystems as a source of food, physical protection against storms and advancing sea, and a range of human activities that generate economic income. Notwithstanding, the intensification of human activities in coastal areas of the recent decades, as well as the global climatic changes and coastal erosion processes of the present, have had detrimental impacts on these environments. Maintaining the structural and functional integrity of these environments and recovering an ecological balance or mitigating disturbances in systems under the influence of such stressors are complex tasks, only possible t
