PKM Program in Kajanglako Farming Group, Pudak Village in Kumpeh Ulu District is not only to produce farmers with independent character and entrepreneur spirit, but also to enable them in saving the environment as well as to increase their income. It has been known that beef cattle’s farming business system always been conducted in a traditional way without any kind of technology creation in waste utilization either in solid or liquid waste. Likewise, the farming business of food crops such as sweet corn (Zea Mays L. Saccarata) or the rice plant always been depending toward the subsidiary fertilizer which the availability of the product is not continuous, the cost has been increasing and affecting the production cost spent by the farmers. By the factors mentioned, it is affecting the business productivity carried by the farmers will not be optimum, greenhouse gases emission like N2O, CH4 dan CO2 are also increasing due to accumulation of beef cattle's solid and liquid waste and intensive use of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, there is a need to implement eco techno  farming system to increase the income and to reduce the greenhouse gases (GHG). Methods that has been used in this system implementation conducted in several activities, like (1) processed beef cattle’s solid and liquid waste into many formulas by adding various waste such as banana stem waste, forage feed leftover, and paddy straw (2) processed beef cattle’s liquid waste into liquid organic fertilizer and Biourine Empon-Empon Extract (3) processed food crop waste into Molasses Probiotic Silage which could be used as a supplement feed for cattle. All of these activities were carried out through outreach and direct application in the field. Various processed waste products such as solid waste and liquid waste beef cattle and crop waste could reduce production costs, and could be a business opportunity to increase revenue and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

Integrated farming system is a system that emphasized linkages and synergism of farming units waste utilization. The objective of this study was to analyze  the economic farming activity of Rice Livestock Integrated Farming System (RLIFS) and non RLIFS farmers. The results showed the usage allocation of family and external labor to RLIFS farmers was relatively greater than non RLIFS farmers. The RLIFS farmers’ income of rice farming, other crops and non-agricultural was relatively larger than non RLIFS  farmers, while non RLIFS farmers had greater income from livestock (cow and non cow) business and farm labor. The production costs of rice farming and livestock business were still greater in RLIFS farmers although they used manure produced by their own and also provide straw of rice production as animal feed. This was due to several factors (1) The proportion of the cost of using manure was very small in the cost of rice farming if the use of manure only a supporting fertilizer and not the main fertilizer for plant. (2) Some farmers were still buying and using anorganic or chemical fertilizers because of their mindset who wanted fast and instantaneous ones. Some farmers also felt that manure contained less nutrients so they used it in small quantities. The household income total of RLIFS farmers was higher than non RLIFS farmers.

There has been a shift towards sustainable agriculture including organic farming system. Organic fertilizer is absolutely necessary in organic farming to replace synthetic fertilizers. In addition, weed control is nessesary to prevent yield decrease. This study aimed to compare influence of different types of compost and weed control periode on growth and yield of sweet corn. This research was carried out in January-March 2016 in Padang Serai, Kampung Melayu Subdistrict, Bengkulu City, Indonesia. The design used in the experiment was Complete Random Design with two factors. The first factor was synthetic fertilizer, vermicompost, litter compost, wedelia compost and water hyacinth compost, whereas the second factor was the weed control periode which were 3 WAP (week after planted) as well as 3 and 6 WAP. Sweet corn plants that nurtured with compost has better growth and yield compared to a plant that just nurtured with inorganic fertilizers. The best growth and yield of sweet corn plants produced from plants fertilized with wedelia compost and vermicompost followed by water hyacinth compost and litter leaves compost. Sweet corn fertilized with wedelia compost and vermicompost provided highest shoot fresh and dry weight. Sweet corn fertilized with compost of rate 20 ton/Ha gave diameter of unhusked ear, diameter of husked ear as well as length of unhusked ear higher than synthetic fertilizer. Weed control once in 3 WAP (week after planted) as well as twice in 3 and 6 WAP resulted in no significant different on sweet corn growth and yield

The agricultural sector needs to make breakthroughs in the design of production systems to improve farmers' income and operation efficiency. One of the ways is to redesign rice production methods by applying a rice-fish farming system. Lamongan has a different system that combines rice cultivation with vannamei shrimp. Due to the limitation of farmers, the efficiency of the system has not yet reached the optimal level. This study describes the rice-fish farming system, identifies the SWOT and generated the grand strategy matrix, and analyzed the profit efficiency using Stochastic Frontier Analysis. The results showed that the strengths and opportunities are more influential, where the position was in the quadrant I; which means it is in a good strategic position. Meanwhile, the input factors which significantly influence profit where the cost of paddy seed, the cost of organic fertilizer, the cost of inorganic fertilizer, the cost of pesticide, and the cost of shrimp feed. The profit efficiency analysis shows that respondents engaged in this system did not efficiently allocate inputs and production cost factors appropriately. The average profit efficiency level was 78.05 percent; it means that there were still opportunities to increase profits from the system by 21.5 percent.

Integration of different components viz. livestock, fishery, horticulture, mushroom etc. along with field crops not only enhanced productivity but by-products (waste) of one component act as input for another component through resource recycling within the system. Six integrated farming systems models with suitable combinations of Crop, vegetables, fruit trees, fish, livestock, mushroom etc. were made and evaluated at the experimental farm of ICAR Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna during 2012-16 for harness maximum income, nutrient recycling and employment. Among six combinations, crop + fish + duck + goat resulted as most profitable combination in terms of productivity (RGEY- 22.2t), net income (Rs. 2,15,900/ha), additional employment (170 days/year) with income sustainability index (ISI) by 90.2. Upon nutrient recycling prepared from different wastes from the system Crop + fish + duck + goat combination added N (56.5 kg), P (39.6 kg) and K (42.7 kg) into the soil and reduced the cost of cultivation by 24 percent and was followed by crop + fish + goat combination. Crops grown under IFS mode with different types of manures produced 31 percent higher yield over conventional rice- wheat system. The contribution of crops towards the system productivity ranged from 36.4 to 56.2 %, while fish ranged from 22.0-33.5 %; for goat 25.4-32.9 %; for poultry 38.7 %; for duck 22.0-29.0 %; for cattle 32.2% and for mushroom 10.3 %.

Of many techniques that are used to optimize production and costs, the studies conducted within a profile company lead to our choice for testing the 6Sigma method (the most used method in the automotive industry) in view of the economic efficiency applied in the wood Industry company. This method measures how many flaws exist in a process and determines in a systematic way how to improve it by technical overhauling and eliminating or minimizing the process for efficiency. This research article aims to study the state of research on the optimization of the production process through technical overhauling for panels reconstituted from solid wood and ways to make production more efficient by cutting costs through technical overhauling. From preliminary research, we estimate that all the items founded and others that will result from further research will result in a significant decrease in production costs that are reflected in the cost of the finished product and consequently in increasing the yield of the company by maximizing its profit. At the same time it may be the basis of future research studies in the field. The easier it is to maximize profits, the lower the operating costs are and the higher recovery rate of investments are, that will result a change in the operating mode: “working smarter not harder”.

AbstractBioethanol from abundant and inexpensive agricultural and industrial wastes possesses the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Bioethanol as renewable fuel addresses elevated production costs, as well as food security concerns. Although technical advancements in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation have reduced the cost of production, one major drawback of this technology is that the pre-treatment process creates environmental stressors inhibitory to fermentative yeasts subsequently reducing bioethanol productivity. Robust fermentative yeasts with extreme stress tolerance remain limited. This review presents the potential of dung beetles from pristine and unexplored environments as an attractive source of extremophilic bioethanolic yeasts. Dung beetles survive on a recalcitrant lignocellulose-rich diet suggesting the presence of symbiotic yeasts with a cellulolytic potential. Dung beetles inhabiting extreme stress environments have the potential to harbour yeasts with the ability to withstand inhibitory environmental stresses typically associated with bioethanol production. The review further discusses established methods used to isolate bioethanolic yeasts, from dung beetles.
