Summary

This chapter examines whether livestock industries in Indonesia can sustainably contribute to domestic food security without compromising environmental integrity. The authors, including specialists in livestock systems and tropical agriculture, assess the trade-offs inherent in scaling livestock production across different Indonesian farming contexts. The work appears positioned as a critical policy-relevant analysis rather than a primary empirical study.

UK applicability

Limited direct applicability to UK farming systems, given the distinct agro-ecological, economic, and policy contexts. However, insights into livestock intensification trade-offs and competing demands for land and resources may inform comparative international food systems analysis.

Key measures

Not determinable from title and journal metadata alone; likely includes production metrics, environmental impact indicators, and food security indicators specific to Indonesian livestock sectors

Outcomes reported

The paper likely examines the capacity of Indonesian livestock industries to meet domestic food demand whilst minimising environmental degradation. As suggested by the title, it addresses the tension between livestock productivity and ecosystem sustainability in the Indonesian context.
