Summary
This narrative review examines the role of livestock industries in Indonesia in meeting growing food demands whilst addressing environmental concerns. The authors assess the sustainability challenges inherent in expanding livestock production in Indonesia, considering nutrient cycling, land use pressures, and food security objectives. The paper synthesises evidence on whether intensification or alternative production models offer viable pathways for balancing productivity with environmental stewardship in the Indonesian context.
UK applicability
Whilst focused on Indonesia's specific agro-ecological and socio-economic context, the review's examination of livestock–environment trade-offs may inform UK discussions on sustainable intensification and trade in livestock products. However, UK livestock systems operate under different regulatory, climatic and market conditions, limiting direct applicability.
Key measures
Environmental impacts of livestock production; food security contributions; sustainability indicators for Indonesian livestock systems
