Summary
This narrative review examines the dual imperative facing Indonesian livestock industries: meeting growing domestic food demand whilst minimising environmental degradation. The authors synthesise evidence on current production systems, feed-land competition, and sustainability trade-offs within Indonesia's tropical and sub-tropical agroecological context. The paper evaluates whether intensification, improved management practices, or system diversification offer viable pathways to reconcile productivity gains with environmental stewardship and long-term resource security.
UK applicability
The findings have limited direct applicability to UK livestock systems, which operate under different climatic, regulatory, and market conditions. However, the conceptual frameworks for evaluating intensification versus diversification trade-offs may inform UK discussions on sustainable intensification and land-use efficiency.
Key measures
Livestock production systems characteristics; feed demand and land use metrics; environmental impact indicators; sustainability trade-offs
Outcomes reported
The paper examines current livestock production systems in Indonesia and evaluates trade-offs between meeting domestic food demand and minimising environmental degradation. It likely synthesises evidence on feed-land competition, production intensification pathways, and sustainability strategies specific to Indonesia's tropical and sub-tropical context.
