“…Swingle, was the intercrop in this study and was transplanted in 2021. This crop grew to a plant height of 1.5-2.0 m during the sampling period, which was representative of typical perennial intercrops selected for the DR such as coffee, tea, and black pepper [16].…”

“…Over the past decade, an improved double-row (DR) rubber planting arrangement has been proposed to promote the development of diversified rubber-based agroforestry with a cordon rubber tree clone (CATAS 7-20-59) [14,15]. Our previous study has demonstrated that compared to the conventional single-row (SR) rubber plantations, this double-row arrangement exhibits higher resource utilizations (e.g., light and land) and economic benefits without significantly compromising the rubber yield [16]. Thus, it is considered one of the effective practices to improve the sustainability of rubber plantations, with great potential for promotion both currently and in the future.…”

Agroforestry is known to significantly improve long-term land productivity, potentially enhancing the ability to cope with climate stress. However, there is limited information regarding the accurate monitoring of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in rubber-based agroforestry systems. Before GHGs can be accurately estimated, the diurnal variations and suitable sampling times must be studied to reduce the uncertainty of the manual static chamber method. In this study, the soil GHGs emitted from conventional single-row (SR) and improved double-row (DR) rubber plantations were compared across the dry and wet seasons in Hainan, China. A total of 1728 GHG samples from a field trial were collected, analyzed, and related to environmental factors. The results demonstrated that the diurnal fluxes of CO2 in rubber plantations were likely to remain fluctuating, with the maximum typically occurring during the night-time and daytime hours of the dry and wet seasons, respectively. A clearer double-peak (around 2:00 and 14:00) during the dry season and a daytime peak (14:00) during the wet season of the N2O were recorded. In addition to the commonalities, different seasons and different types of GHGs and rubber plantations also differed in their detailed fluctuation times and ranges; therefore, the determination of suitable sampling times should not ignore these factors in certain cases. Based on this study, it was determined that the late afternoon (16:00–18:00) was the suitable sampling time of soil GHGs in rubber plantations, instead of the most common morning times (with an underestimation of 25% on average). In addition, the air humidity during the dry season and the soil temperature during the wet season were both positively correlated with GHGs (p < 0.05). This study highlights the significance of accurately monitoring soil GHGs in rubber-based agroforestry systems, providing a basic reference for the development and management of climate-smart land use practices in rubber plantations.

“…High environmental temperature conditions around crops especially C3 plants increases oxygenation reaction along the photorespiratory pathway resulting in about 25-30% loss in carbon fixation (Slattery and Ort, 2019). Thus, proving some level of shading is necessary for staple food crops (root and tuber and legume food crops) which are C3 plants so as to operate under full photosynthetic potential for improved productivity (Huang et al, 2020;Owusu Danquah, 2020). In the face of climate change integrating trees into cropping systems on smallholder farmers would play a dual role of shading and conserving moisture and also provide food and income from their produce.…”

There is an urgent need to match food production with increasing world population through identification of sustainable land management strategies. However, the struggle to achieve food security should be carried out keeping in mind the soil where the crops are grown and the environment in which the living things survive, especially under rainfed agricultural system. Rainfed agricultural ecosystem is extremely fragile, improving soil fertility and reducing greenhouse gas emission are key factors for developing sustainable agriculture. Moreover, society increasingly expects agriculture to be more sustainable, by decreasing irrigation and mineral fertilizer inputs. Increasing food production sustainably through efficient use of resources will strongly contribute to food security, sustainable agriculture development, and increased climate change resilience. This paper addresses the effects of carbon smart technologies on greenhouse gas emission, soil quality and crop productivity in rainfed agro ecological environment. This paper hypothesized that application of carbon smart technologies could improve soil physical and chemical properties to enhance GHG mitigation and crop production. Carbon smart technologies highlighted in this paper include minimum tillage, crop residue retention, agroforestry, biofuels, integrated nutrient management and land use management systems. This paper review and discusses the work done on carbon smart technologies in different agro-ecological regions so as to understand its impact from the perspectives of the soil, the crop and the environment. The impact of conservation agriculture on greenhouse gas emissions and the underlying mechanism in different agroecological environments have been discussed. A detailed case study and tremendous advancements on the strength of integration of trees and shrub as carbon smart technologies in improving soil and crop productivity is highlighted immensely. The paper concludes with recommendations for encouraging and improving adoption by smallholder farmers to ensure more efficient and sustainable food system. This systematic review will primarily contribute to the achievement of the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG1 (No poverty), SDG2 (Zero hunger), SDG5 (Gender equality) and SDG13 (Climate action).

“…Objek wisata yang menjadi andalan yaitu Curug Tujuh Bidadari, pengelolaan wisata dilakukan oleh masyarakat setempat dengan menawarkan pemandangan alam yang eksotis dan harga tiket yang terjangkau, sehingga membuat wisata tersebut tidak pernah sepi penggunjung. Pesona alam yang disuguhkan kepada para penggunjung adalah adanya perkebunan kopi yang sangat luas dan berada di sepanjang perjalanan menuju lokasi wisata, hal tersebut dijadikan sebagai daya tarik guna menarik perhatian pengunjung (Sosa-Aranda et al, 2018;Santamaría et al, 2020;Huang et al, 2020). Perkebunan kopi yang berada di Desa Keseneng merupakan perkebunan milik rakyat, kondisi wilayah yang dimiliki sangat mendukung untuk pengembangan budidaya tanaman kopi.…”

Faktor-faktor untuk meningkatkan kompetensi petani dalam pengembangan usaha perlu dikaji lebih dalam, mengingat Desa Keseneng berstatus sebagai Desa Wisata. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk: 1) menganalisis kompetensi petani kopi di Desa Keseneng, 2) menganalisis hubungan faktor-faktor internal dan eksternal dengan kompetensi petani kopi di Desa Keseneng. Penelitian di laksanakan pada bulan Agustus 2019 di Desa Keseneng Kecamatan Sumowono, Kabupaten Semarang. Penelitian menggunakan metode survei, metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara secara langsung kepada petani kopi sebagai responden. Penentuan responden dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling sebanyak 32 responden. Metode analisis data menggunakan analisis korelasi Rank Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa petani kopi di Desa Keseneng memiliki kompetensi dalam pengembangan usaha kopi pada kategori sedang. Hasil analisis menunjukkan peubah pendidikan formal dan pengalaman petani tidak berhubungan nyata dengan kompetensi petani dalam mengembangkan usaha kopi. Peubah penerimaan kopi (0,751) dan keikutsertaan dalam kegiatan penyuluhan (0,794) berhubungan nyata dan positif dengan kompetensi petani pada tingkat keeratan hubungan sangat kuat. Peubah interaksi social masyarakat perkebunan (0,713) berhubungan sangat nyata dengan kompetensi petani pada tingkat keeratan hubungan kuat.
