Indonesia, progressing towards sustainable development, faces the complex task of transitioning to low-carbon agriculture in peatlands, an essential part of broader sustainable objectives. Under the Paris Agreement, it targets a conditional 41% emission reduction, focusing on minimizing emissions from peat decomposition and fires within agricultural practices in peatlands. This paper explores the complexities and progress of low-carbon agriculture in peatlands, underscoring its significance in the larger sustainable development agenda. Our study reveals that current strategies to reduce carbon emissions in peatlands aim at restoring their natural waterlogged conditions. Yet, progress is hindered mainly due to an inadequate understanding of greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands and overlooking their unique features, which leads to overestimated emissions from agricultural use. For improved strategies, it’s important to analyze successful existing sustainable practices and enhance understanding of peatland ecology. Techniques like the “Water Management Trinity,” implemented since 1986, and eco-management emphasize the importance of using permanent water gates to maintain water levels optimal for both peat preservation and crop production. Over time, these practices modify peatland attributes, making emissions comparable to those from mineral soil, thus rendering low-carbon agriculture attainable. It’s vital for stakeholders to assess emissions with updated data, incorporating detailed information on peatland characteristics and emissions. The journey towards low-carbon agriculture in Indonesia’s peatlands is a complex endeavor necessitating the amalgamation of scientific research, sustainable practices, and socio-economic development. Adopting a holistic approach can strike a balance between agricultural productivity, peatland conservation, and climate change mitigation, fulfilling sustainable development goals in Indonesia and globally.

“…For a remote lab exercise, each learner connects to a virtualization server by SSH and runs a script to connect to the assigned VM. The script accesses to VM console by socat [5] or SSH to the VM's IPv6 link-local address because of lower bandwidth consumption compared to the graphic console access applications [8]. A basic terminal PC is required for each learner (Pentium 800 Mhz, 256 MB RAM).…”

“…The average CPU utilizations measured in the SL approach were low, 0.63% and 0.59% for FreeBSD and Fedora6 respectively [11]. The CPU utilization of a virtualization server were 30% running 6 FreeBSD VMs and 10% running 6 Fedora4 VMs in their idle states, and reached 90% during some peak periods in VL approach [8]. Lab response time of the VS approach is better than the VL approach because there is a lower chance that learners activate heavy processes at the same time in the self-paced learning.…”

This paper studies the innovative methodology for developing IT education from the traditional face-to-face model to full capability of distance learning by combining a remote computer laboratory and a distance e-learning environment. There are three approaches presented with different implementations of laboratory technologies and learning models. The design challenge is to address the limitations of resources at region-wide learning sites, cost-effectiveness and scalability. Computer virtualization and StarBED computing testbed can achieve a larger scale of laboratory size with less cost of equipment and administration workload. The live learning environment ensures quality of realtime communications during lecture and lab sessions by employing IPv6 Multicast on a satellite UDLR network. The self-paced learning environment is proposed to enable a flexible schedule, resource reusability, and scalability. The lab supervision system is the key component to enhance teaching effectiveness in the self-paced hands-on practice by systematically automating the lab supervision skills of lecturers. These approaches have been evaluated as feasible, cost-effective and scalable by the real implementations of similar Asia-wide workshops. Trade-off overheads and analysis on technology and pedagogy perspectives are made to compare their characteristics.
