CHAPTER
IINTRODUCTION
1.1 BackgroundNatural Resources is one of the potential that can not be
separated from everyday life, one of which is agricultural natural
resources. Since most
of the livelihood of the world population in the areas of agriculture
sphere. Indonesia's
history since the colonial period to the present can not be separated
from the agricultural sector. Because
the sector has great significance in determining formation of a variety
of economic and social realities in different regions.
1.2 Objectives and Purpose1.2.1 The purposeOur goal in making paper on "The
Importance of Agriculture for Natural Resources Kehiupan" This is to
fulfill the tasks assigned by our subject teachers.
1.2.2 PurposeProvide
insight into natural resources, especially to provide knowledge about
"The Importance of Agriculture for Natural Resources Life".
CHAPTER IIRESOLUTION
2.1 Agriculture Natural
ResourcesNatural Resources (SDA) is anything
that menucul naturally that can be used to meet human needs in general. Belonging
in it not only biotic components, such as animals, plants, and
microorganisms, but also the abiotic components such as petroleum,
natural gas, various kinds of metal, water, and soil.Agriculture
is the utilization of biological resources by humans to produce food,
industrial raw materials or energy sources, as well as to manage the
environment. The utilization of biological resources that
are included in ordinary farming people understood as cultivation or
farming (crop cultivation) as well as livestock rearing (raising),
although its scope may also be the use of micro organisms and bioenzim
in the processing of advanced products, such as making cheese and
tempeh, or just the mere extraction,
such as fishing or forest exploitation.The group examines agricultural sciences with the support
of agricultural sciences supporters. The core of the
agricultural sciences are biology and economics. Because
agriculture is always bound by time and space. Supporting
sciences such as geology, meteorology, agriculture machining,
biochemical and statiska also studied in agriculture. Farming
(farming) is a core part of agriculture because it involves a set of
activities carried out in cultivation. Meraka farmer is the designation
for the conduct of farming, for example "tobacco farmers" or "fish
farmer". Perpetrators of livestock
farming (livestock) specifically referred to as a breeder.Agricultural enterprises were given a special name for the
particular subject of farming. Farm forestry is the subject of plants (trees)
and a semi-wild land cultivated or wild. Farms
using animal subjects dry land (cattle, buffalo, goat, etc.). Fishing
waters have the subject animals (fish, etc.). A farm can involve a
variety of subjects together with the reasons of efficiency and increase
profits. And environmental sustainability considerations
involve aspects of conservation of natural resources is also a part in
the agricultural business.All farming is
essentially economic activities that require basic knowledge of the same
will be managing the business, the selection of seeds / seedlings,
cultivation methods, collecting the results, product distribution,
processing and packaging of products, and marketing. If a farmer is
looking at all aspects of the consideration of efficiency to achieve the
maximum profit he made intensive farming (intensive farming). Farms are viewed in this way is known as agribusiness. Programs and policies
that drive agriculture to the point of view this is known as
intensification. Because
industrial agriculture is always applying intensive farming, they often
equated. Attention
to the agricultural side of the industrial environment is a sustainable
agriculture (sustainable agriculture).
2.2 The concept of Sustainable
AgricultureSustainable
agriculture is a success in managing resources for the benefit of
agriculture in meeting human needs, while maintaining and improving
environmental quality and conservation of natural resources. Environmentally
sound agricultural customers always pay attention to soil, water,
humans, animals / livestock, food, income and health. Environmentally
sound agricultural purposes are:A. Safe according to environmental
insightThe
quality of natural resources and the vitality of the entire
agro-ecosystem is maintained / start of human life, plants and animals
to soil organisms can be improved.
2. Economically advantageousFarmers can produce
something that is adequate to meet their own needs / income, and earn
enough income to pay for labor and other production costs.
3. Fair
according to social considerationsResources and energy
spread in such a way that the basic needs of all members of society can
be met, as well as every farmer has an equal opportunity to utilize the
land, obtaining sufficient capital, technical assistance and marketing.
4. Against all forms of human lifeResponsive to all forms
of life (plants, animals, and humans) the basic principle of all forms
of life is to know each other and working relationships between living
things are truth, honesty, confidence, cooperation and mutual
assistance.
5. Can be easily adaptedRural people / farmers are able to adjust to changing
conditions of farming: population growth, policy and market demand.
2.3 Organic AgricultureOrganic farming is
an integrated production management system that avoids the use of
artificial fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically-modified, pressing
air pollution, soil, and water. Regenerative
organic agriculture is agriculture with farming principles accompanied
by a return to natural inputs are derived from organic materials. Some
basic principles that need attention are:1) Use of natural resources for the
development of agribusiness horikultura (especially land and water)2) The production or activity
of farming itself is done in familiar surroundings, so as to avoid
negative impacts and externalities on society3) The handling and processing, distribution and marketing, as
well as the use of the product does not pose a problem in the
environment (waste and garbage)4) The product to be lucrative business,
meet consumer preferences and consumer safety.
2.4 Modern Organic FarmingIn recent
years, modern organic farming into the agricultural system of Indonesia
is sporadic and small. Developing modern organic farming
produce food that is safe for health and environment-friendly production
systems. But
the general concept of modern organic farming has not been widely known
and still widely questioned. The
emphasis is more to the left while the use of synthetic pesticides. In the growing knowledge
of health technology, environment, microbiology, chemistry, molecular
biology, biochemistry, etc., organic agriculture continues to grow. In
modern organic farming systems and the required quality standards are
imposed by importing countries with very strict. Often the organic
agricultural products must be returned to the exporting countries,
including Indonesia because it is still found to contain pesticides and
chemicals redisu other.
2.5 Forms of Agriculture in IndonesiaA. MoorAn agricultural system that are
sedentary, but uses a system pengarian / irrigation. Types of crops and
plants are gogu.
2. Fields (Huma)An agricultural system which is done to
move the opening in the forest and land use. Agriculture is not familiar with the irrigation system
and no tilling and fertilizing the right to make a lot of damage to the
soil.
3. FieldFarming is carried out in wet soil or by irrigation. Various kinds of fields:a. Rainfed rice is rice that received
only water during the rainy seasonb. Lowland rice paddies are located along major riversc. Irrigated rice is rice that has
always had water throughout the year.d. Rice paddies is prodding a magpie in a
tidally influenced river of sea water
2.6 Agricultural EngineeringAgricultural engineering is a discipline to learn
about agriculture through the approach of engineering / engineering by
transforming natural resources efficiently and effectively to human
needs. Agricultural engineering focuses on several scientific
disciplines, among others, is the basis for planning, design,
development, evaluation, and implementation elements of the production
system such as the unity of man, machine and equipment, and agricultural
resources.These areas included within the scope of agricultural
engineering is the technique of agriculture, natural resources of
agricultural engineering, process engineering of agricultural / food,
energy, agriculture and electricity, workshop and instruments in the
field of agriculture, agricultural engineering and management systems,
farm buildings and the environment.
2.7 Causes Damage to Agricultural
LandA. Agricultural Soil Erosion Damage DueLand use on the carrying capacity without balanced with
conservation and improvement of land will lead to land degradation. Land in the
uplands with steep slopes are suitable for forest danger, if they get
over the function of a seasonal agricultural land will be vulnerable to
disasters and the erosion or landslides. Sloping land use change from permanent vegetation
(forest) to agricultural land, causing soil insentef be more easily
degraded by soil erosion. Logging practices and
forest destruction (deforesterisasi) is a major cause of erosion in the
watershed area (DAS).
2. Pollution of
Agrochemicals in Agricultural LandLevels of pollution and environmental damage in the
agricultural environment can be caused by penggunana agrochemicals
(fertilizers and pesticides) are not proportional. The negative impact of the use of agrochemicals such as water
pollution, soil, and agricultural, health problems of farmers, declining
biodiversity, farmers helpless in the procurement of seeds, chemical
fertilizers and in determining the commodity to be planted.Excessive use
of pesticides in a long period, will impact on the life and presence of
natural enemies of pests and diseases, and also have an impact on the
lives of the soil biota. This led to
an explosion of insect pests and degradation of soil biota.The use of chemical fertilizers are highly concentrated and with
a high dose in a long period led to deterioration of soil fertility due
to nutrient imbalance or deficiency of other nutrients, and the decline
of soil organic matter content. Nutrient
deficiencies caused by the abandonment of the use of organic
fertilizers.
3. Industrial PollutionPollution and environmental
damage in the agricultural environment can also be caused due to
industrial activities. Development of industrial sector will potentially
negative impact on our agricultural environment, due to sewage, gas and
solids that are foreign to the agricultural environment. Impact that can exhaust such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) will
lead to acid rain and damage agricultural land. In addition, the presence of liquid
wastes containing toxic heavy metals (Pb, Ni, Cd, Hg) will cause the
degradation of agricultural land and the pollution of inner life. What if this wastewater into
irrigation water bodies, widespread negative effects will spread. The promotion of the program once clean and blue sky needs
to be done, and the application of sanctions for employers who pollute
soil, water and air.
4. Accretion and Pit CLarge mining operations are carried out
on fertile ground or a permanent forest. Negative impacts of mining can be mined over the
damaged surface irregularities, loss of fertile soil, and the rest of
the extraction (tailings) that will affect the soil reaction and soil
composition. The remainder of this extraction can react very acidic
or very alkaline, so it will affect the degradation of soil fertility.
5. Land Transfer
FunctionConversion of agricultural land increased in
recent years is one threat to the sustainability of agriculture. One trigger the conversion of
farmland to other uses is a low incentive for farmers in farming and
farming keungungan rate is relatively low. In addition,
agricultural businesses are faced with various problems that are
difficult to predict and the high cost of control such as weather, pests
and diseases, lack of means of production and marketing. Land use
would occur on many farms that have high productivity into
non-agricultural land. Paddy land use
to residential and industrial areas are very influential on the
availability of agricultural land, and food availability as well as
other functions.
CHAPTER
IIICLOSING
4.1 ConclusionAgriculture
Natural Resources is one of the natural resources that can be updated
whose activity is to utilize biological resources by humans to produce
food, industrial raw materials, or other sources and for pushing enerti
manages the environment.
4.2
AdviceAlthough the
agricultural natural resources are a renewable resource, but we have to
use it well and not arbitrarily in managing it.
