SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
SDG 2 : ZERO HUNGER
“The ability to feed the world is a key element of sustainable development. If done right, agriculture, forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all. At the same time it can ensure rural development with people at the centre of the process, supporting the incomes of those who rely on agriculture. Universities need to be able to demonstrate how they are contributing to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.”
(THE Impact Rankings)
Campus Food Waste
IPB University is dedicated to minimizing food waste on campus. To achieve this, all campus units are required to manage and track their waste, as outlined in the Circular Letter on Waste Management at IPB University.
[Circular Letter in Waste Management]
The university emphasizes cleanliness and promotes the 3R concept of waste management (reuse, reduce, recycle). This is further supported by the Rector’s Decree No. 29/IT3/OT/2020, which provides the foundation for the campus’ waste management practices.
[Rector Decree No. 29/IT3/OT/2020 – about Waste Management at the IPB University]
IPB also demonstrates its commitment to reducing waste by implementing a ‘zero waste policy.’ This policy involves residue-free management and requires all work units on campus to carry out waste management and measurement.
Since 2019, IPB has implemented a waste management and measurement method based on SNI 19-3964-1994 regarding methods for collecting and measuring samples of urban waste generation and composition. The procedure includes:
- Weighing food waste collected from each station using digital scales with an accuracy of 1 gram.
- Sorting the food waste by components: rice, vegetables, and dishes.
- Weighing each component of the food waste individually.
- Recording the weights of the food waste on a tally sheet.
Sustainable waste management steps in the university’s environment are expected to be able to overcome types of organic and inorganic waste.
[SNI 19-3964-1994- METHODS FOR COLLECTION AND MEASUREMENT OF WASTE]
Campus members are responsible for ensuring accurate participant counts and food orders for events and meetings to minimize waste. If participant numbers change, the event committee must notify catering staff to adjust the food quantities accordingly.
Additionally, the university collaborates with approved charities to collect and redistribute surplus food from events. FoodBank is a program that gathers food and drinks from donors and distributes them to students in need.
