Abstract: | Indonesian people are highly dependent on rice for their food security. To meet this dependency, rice paddy productivity has increased significantly since the 1960s. Chemical fertilizers have been an integral part of paddy-field intensification; however, long-term use of these fertilizers is causing soil degradation. Rice production is decreasing as a result, threatening Indonesia's food security. Bio-organic fertilizers provide a solution because they allow farmers to preserve the soil health required by rice plants. This paper details the use of bio-organic fertilizers on Indonesia's paddy soils, and discusses the challenges and opportunities for their future use. Masyarakat Indonesia memiliki ketergantungan yang sangat tinggi terhadap beras untuk memenuhi ketercukupan pangan. Peningkatan produksi beras telah dilakukan secara besar-besaran sejak tahun 1960 untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pangan nasional. Intensifikasi lahan sawah dilakukan dengan mengintroduksi pupuk kimia dengan pengunaan yang terus meningkat hingga saat ini. Pengunaan pupuk kimia menyebabkan degradasi tanah. Produksi padi yang menurun menjadi dampak, sehingga mengancam ketahanan pangan Indonesia. Bio-organic fertilizers merupakan salah satu solusi karena memungkinkan petani untuk menyediakan tanah yang sehat untuk padi. Paper ini membahas tentang pengunaan bio fertilizer pada tanah sawah, serta tantangan dan pengembangannya untuk pengunaannya di masa depan. |
