“…However, the environmental pro le of sago production is relatively positive. For example, recent research indicates that the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with producing 1 tonne of sago (17.9 kgCO2eq) are signi cantly less than those associated with corn starch (2700 kgCO2eq), potato starch (2402 kgCO2eq), and cassava starch (4310 kgCO2eq) [39]. This means that sago production has strategic value in terms of reducing the local negative environmental impacts of agriculture, especially when compared to the palm forestations.…”

Background The indigenous people living in the province of West Papua may experience potential food insecurity, in part attributable to increased local adoption of, and reliance on, imported foods such as rice. At the same time, the consumption of sago, a traditional local food, is lower than other types of carbohydrate foods such as wheat and cassava. Various factors may act as influential drivers of local diets and related agricultural practices, which in turn may be influenced by the attitudes and opinions of stakeholders with interests in the supply chain. Methods Qualitative methodology (semi-structured interviews) was applied to understand the various factors perceived by a selected number of stakeholders that influence sago consumption among the indigenous peoples of West Papua. These stakeholders included politicians, local and national civil servants, academics, sago farmers, and food activists (n = 18). Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Results The results indicate that the stakeholders perceive that the majority of the West Papuan people regard sago as a traditional food that is critical to, and inseparable from, local culture and food production practices. The results suggest that the stakeholders interviewed support the consumption of sago to improve food security for the indigenous people in West Papua, with a need for future policy to be developed to support this. Conclusions The evidence presented here suggests a diverse range of local stakeholders support the continuation of sago production and consumption, both from the perspective of improved food security, and in order to conserve cultural associations and activities within local communities. According to the stakeholders interviewed, this can be best achieved through improved engagement of local communities with sago production policies, innovation in current practices, and agronomic management. Local policies should be developed to ensure that sago remains an integral component of the Papuan people's culture, and develops into a significant commodity with economic value which simultaneously contributes to environmental targets.

“…Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method for estimating the environmental impacts of a product or service in the entire supply chain [14]. In this study, the environmental impact of potato chips product is limited only to global warming which is carried out through the analysis of carbon footprint [7,16].…”

“…The environmental impacts generated at each stage of the potato chips production process can be analyzed using carbon footprint by calculating environmental loads based on the use of resources, energy, water, fuel, and other materials [13]. Furthermore, to reduce the environmental impact that may occur, it is necessary to re-analyze using several different alternatives to reduce the environmental impact that can be caused [14]. In the current world trade procedures, especially in developed countries, both goods and services require environmental performance as a selling power and promotional tool.…”

The supply chain of potato chips agroindustry products is very useful to be applied in various aspects, therefore it is necessary to continuously improve its performance. Factors that must be considered in the supply chain design of agricultural commodities and agro-industrial products in order to obtain a supply chain that is comprehensive, effective, ef icient, responsive, fair and sustainable. Climate change is a major issue in sustainability, because it can cause dangerous temperature and sea level rise, drought, and others. Scientists throughout the world provide information that supports the fact that climate is changing and that this change is partly due to human activities through the release of Green House Gases (GHGs). However, lately, GHG emissions have increased, partly due to industrialization and changes in agriculture and land use. Based on this background, the authors conducted a study with the aim of analyzing the life cycle of the potato chip supply chain with carbon footprint methods in order to reduce environmental impact. In this research, carbon footprint models will be designed on potato chip agro-industry so that spots can be identi ied that have the potential to produce environmental impacts. Spot identi ication is done by analyzing the distribution and transportation of the potato supplier and the process of producing potato chips, so that the production process is environmentally friendly. The results of the design of the potato chip agro-industry carbon footprint model is that it can determine carbon emissions released along the supply chain of potato chips agroindustry and be measured quantitatively, so that stakeholders/actors involved in the supply chain can utilize them in the decision making process. So that it is expected to increase ef iciency and reduce the environmental impact that occurs due to the production of potato chips and implement environmentally friendly and sustainable industries.

“…Several studies have found that indigenous food crops are exceptionally resilient to adverse local environments, highlighting their role in ensuring food and nutrition security, particularly during and after the occurrence of a natural disaster (Mavhura et al, 2013;Sambo, 2014). In the context of climate change, recent research suggests that the impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated to produce 1 ton of sago (17.9 kgCO2eq) is much lower compared with corn starch (2700 kgCO 2 eq), potato starch (2402 kgCO2eq), and cassava starch (4310 Volume 2 | Number 2 | December | 2021 kgCO2eq) (Yusuf et al, 2019). Moreover, Bintoro et al (2018) argued that there are two roles for sago production to environmental improvements: water conservation and the absorptions of CO2.…”

A significant concern with the food security issue worldwide is indigenous peoples and their food resources. The indigenous peoples of Papua are still very dependent on rice, a heavily imported commodity. During the global pandemic, the indigenous peoples of Papua faced the issue of food supply and food resilience. Simultaneously, Indonesia has the largest sago (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) palm-growing areas, accounting for over half (51%) of the 2.3 million hectares of sago worldwide, and about 90% of sago is estimated to be in Papua and Maluku. Indigenous food crops such as sago are exceptionally resilient to adverse local environments, highlighting their crucial role in ensuring food and nutrition security, particularly during a natural disaster. However, despite sago’s multiple uses and benefits, it is still poorly evaluated as a food resource by the government, with consumption at relatively low levels. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art regarding indigenous peoples and their food resources, focusing on why sago is essential, not only for the indigenous peoples of Papua but also for the possibility of introducing sago to the world.
