Towards sustainable food production: exploring the opportunities and challenges in Indonesia

The increasing intensity of food production in the past few decades have been considered as giving rise to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This includes the large energy usage, food waste throughout the supply chain, air and water pollution. The sustainable production concept can potentially red...
