Research Agenda for Energy Sector 2009-2012

Abstract

Indonesia is still facing numerous problems regarding the closely linked sectors of food, energy and environment. These problems have indirect impacts on the economic, socio-cultural and political conditions in Indonesia. The considerable environmental degradation and natural resources depletion that are occurring are due to natural resources utilization such as forest, sea, agricultural lands, minerals and water that overlooked ecological sustainability, production sustainability and social impacts. To overcome these problems, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) offers new perspectives for agricultural-based national development in a broader term that are based on sovereignty, impartiality and sustainability principles.
