At the end of May, Agritechnica Asia took place in Bangkok, #Thailand, and the trade fair proved to be a very successful one. The #CLAAS stand attracted many visitors who showed great interest in the products and services. This year’s focus was set on sugarcane straw baling with the QUADRANT 4200 EVOLUTION which is especially popular in Thailand. The QUADRANT has a significant role in reducing air pollution in #agriculture by promoting an alternative to open field burning. The still common practice of burning to handle the straw causes pollution that increases smog. With the slogan #StopBurning, the attention was pointed at an alternative method for farmers. The solution to bale the sugarcane straw and then sell it to the power plants of sugar mills which create sustainable energy, and therefore value from waste. This solution does not only reduce the amount of open field burning but also creates major benefits to everyone involved, especially regarding environmental #ESG aspects. The QUADRANT plays a big part in this alternative method as the large square #baler delivers outstanding productivity for collecting straw in extensive fields in compact bales. With high reliability, even in the harsh conditions of sugarcane baling. #Agritechnica #AgritechnicaAsia #engineering #machines #innovation

Lao PDR Launches Innovative Sustainable Coffee Plantation Initiative for Environmental Conservation Lao PDR is set to revolutionize its coffee industry with a new sustainable agroforestry coffee plantation project. Asia Investment Development and Construction Sole.Co.Ltd. (AIDC) and Thailand's Petroleum Authority (PTT Group) have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a prototype coffee plantation using an agroforestry rotation system. Located in Champasak Province, the 356-hectare plantation will integrate tree shading to enhance environmental sustainability. AIDC, which manages the Amazon Coffee brand, and PTT, a leader in carbon credit trading, aim to generate carbon credits from this project, contributing to carbon neutrality goals and boosting the international market value of Lao coffee. This initiative is part of a broader vision to utilize over 48,000 hectares for coffee cultivation, driving economic growth and sustainable development in Laos.

Production and expansion of palm oil are incentivized by the demand for cheap, versatile vegetable oil. Over 20% of Singapore's palm oil comes from Indonesia. Along with negative effects on public health, haze also causes caterpillar mortality and disrupts photosynthetic activity in corals and seagrass. Agriculture often involves land clearing, which disrupts natural habitats and causes species decline. Biodiversity loss can be mitigated through sustainable land management, which may involve growing on land devoted to agriculture and food production.

1. Unlocking Sustainable Practices: Understanding FSCTM Certifications In an age where sustainability is paramount, organizations worldwide are making strides to ensure their practices align with environmental and ethical standards. Among the leading certifiers of sustainable forestry practices, the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSCTM) stands as a beacon of responsible forest management. a. FSC-FM (Forest Management Certification): Nurturing Our Forests At the core of FSCTM’s mission is the FSC-FM certification. This certification ensures that forests are managed responsibly, adhering to strict environmental, social, and economic principles. When a forest earns the FSC-FM certification, it signifies a commitment to preserving biodiversity, respecting indigenous rights, and conserving natural habitats. b. FSC-COC (Chain-of-Custody Certification): Tracking Sustainability The FSC-COC certification extends beyond the forest and delves into the supply chain. It guarantees that the wood and paper products originating from certified forests are accurately labeled and kept separate from non-certified sources. This meticulous tracking process ensures that consumers can confidently choose products that meet the highest sustainability standards. 2. Product Chain Management: Weaving Sustainability into Every Fiber For businesses committed to sustainability, product chain management is the key to success. It involves integrating FSC-certified materials seamlessly into the production process. By adopting this approach, companies can proudly showcase their dedication to responsible sourcing, which resonates with eco-conscious consumers and sets a positive example for the industry. In a world where deforestation and environmental degradation pose substantial threats, FSCTM certifications offer a beacon of hope. They empower businesses to contribute to a sustainable future, one where forests thrive, communities prosper, and our planet remains vibrant for generations to come. By embracing FSC-FM, FSC-COC, and robust product chain management, organizations can make a meaningful difference. They can lead by example, demonstrating that responsible practices can go hand in hand with business success. It’s not just a certification; it’s a commitment to a better world. Join the movement for a sustainable future. Get FSCTM certified and become a steward of our forests and a champion of ethical supply chains. Together, we can build a world where sustainability reigns supreme. #Sustainability #FSCTM #LatexGlove #MedicalGlove #ESG #ForestManagement #EthicalBusiness #ChainOfCustody #SustainableFuture https://lnkd.in/gEBV8c8w

BENTUK JAYA, Indonesia — Indonesia has been clearing tens of thousands of acres of densely vegetated peatland for farming, releasing massive amounts of carbon that had been sequestered below for centuries and destroying one of the Earth’s most effective means of storing greenhouse gases. The country is home to as much as half of the planet’s tropical peatland, a unique ecosystem that scientists say is vital to averting the worst results of climate change. Government leaders have made halting efforts to protect peatlands over the last two decades, but three years ago, when the pandemic disrupted food supply chains, officials launched an ambitious land-clearance operation in a push to expand the cultivation of crops and cut Indonesia’s reliance on expensive imports. By transforming 2,000 to 4,000 square miles of what environmental groups say is predominantly peatland into fields of rice, corn and cassava, the government projects that it will achieve self-sufficiency in food. Laws protecting forests have been amended to allow for the ongoing project. At the U.N. Climate Change Conference in November, Indonesian President Joko Widodo said his country wants to be a global supplier of agricultural products, feeding populations beyond its own. But disrupting the peatlands comes with devastating, likely irreversible costs for the climate, say environmental experts and activists. #ClimateChange #CollectiveStupidity #ShortTermism Full story: https://wapo.st/3SrcK4l
Indonesia is clearing vast peatlands to grow food. Climate costs are dire.
