Summary

This narrative review, authored by international and Indonesian researchers, examines the capacity of Indonesia's livestock industries to contribute to national food security whilst limiting environmental harm. The paper appears to explore the trade-offs between production intensity and sustainability in Indonesian livestock systems, addressing feed security, production efficiency, and environmental management strategies. As a regional assessment conducted in 2016, it likely contextualises livestock production within Indonesia's agro-ecological and socio-economic conditions.

UK applicability

The findings have limited direct applicability to UK livestock systems, which operate under different agro-climatic, regulatory, and market conditions. However, the paper may provide insights into feed-security approaches and environmental trade-off frameworks that could inform global livestock sustainability discourse.

Key measures

As suggested by the title, likely metrics include feed security indicators, production efficiency, and environmental impact assessments (though specific measures cannot be confirmed without access to the full text).

Outcomes reported

The narrative review examined the role of Indonesia's livestock industries in meeting food security demands whilst minimising environmental degradation. The paper appears to assess production efficiency, feed availability, and environmental management strategies relevant to Indonesian livestock systems.
