Abstract

Tropical rainforests play a vital role in the global ecosystem, providing ideal conditions for the growth of various agricultural commodities, including palm oil and cattle grazing in Indonesia. Background: This article explores the potential and challenges of integrating these two sectors, which can enhance food security and environmental sustainability. Methods: The article is composed through a literature review. Finding: Palm oil, as a key commodity, significantly contributes to the national economy but also causes deforestation and social conflicts. Meanwhile, cattle grazing faces its own challenges in meeting the high demand for beef. This research shows that the integration of palm oil and cattle can generate economic benefits, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve land productivity through the use of organic fertilizers. Intercropping with other plants can also enhance the ecological footprint and reduce reliance on chemical herbicides. Further research is expected to support sustainable integration policies and mitigate negative impacts on the environment and communities. Conclusion: This conclusion emphasizes the importance of a nexus-based approach to water, food, and energy in the development of agricultural policies in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article examines the amalgamation of issues surrounding palm oil and cattle ranching in Indonesia.
