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
We measured food waste produced within IPB University, which reached 108957.9 kg in one year or 32 % of the total food produced and served in all canteens located within the campus and food provided by vendors in many events held within the campus area.
Partially, through student final projects, food waste generated on the campus was also estimated. One of the research by Risani estimated food waste in Sapta Canteen, one of the most visited canteens on the campus. The study finds that food waste generated is 147 grams per day per person, equivalent to 38% of the portion. Another study by Wulandari finds that the proportions of food waste on campus are 49% rice, 26% vegetables, and 25% side dishes.
The faculty of Human Ecology has developed a blue Economy Demplot, in which one of the activities is to collect food waste resulting from the Plasma Canteen managed by this faculty and uses it for feeding fish and producing biogas to support Food Security Arboretum.
Student Hunger
We have AGRIANITA KITCHEN (AK), led by the Women Association of University. AK has a target to provide at least 200 food packages per day, for students in need. As an initiation, AK is now collaborating with the IPB Directorate of General Education Program (PPKU) and faculties/Schools to conduct healthy food and beverages event, for free, once a month.
In February 2020, AK invited alumni to provide 8000 food packages, including 2000 fish-based food packages, 2000 chicken-based food packages, and 4000 food packages of fish tom yum soup & fruits served for students.
During the partially closed-down period on campus, IPB also provides free food e-vouchers for 700 students who live in the dormitory, which can be exchanged for lunch, dinner, and multivitamins.
FEMA (IPB Faculty of HumanEcology) provides vouchers as much as IDR 10.000 for poor students that subsidize 50% to 70% of the lunch price. These are funded voluntary lectures.
IPB has provided several programs to secure the nutrition of students and staff, such as:
- Green Corner Canteen has opened daily to provide 220 portions for students and staff during the pandemic.
- Programs by the Directorate of Student Affairs and Career Development (DSACD) collaborated with have provided daily 1800 fruit and milk packages for students in need at no cost.
- IPB collaborated with IPB Alumni Association to donate 1.5 tons of rice to students, staff, and residents affected by Covid-19 in the Campus area and cash assistance of IDR 62.5 million for 500 beneficiaries.
Other interventions initiated by Agrianita in collaboration with faculties on Fish Eating Day that providing a thousand portions of free fish lunch, distributing 1700 food packages to students, staff, and the community surrounding campus, and distributing free bananas to students in “Eat Fruits Get Healthy” events.
ATP IPB (Agribusiness and Technology Park), in collaboration with 52 local farmers, produces organic vegetables and fruits that have been certified by INOFICE (Indonesian Organic Farming Certification)
All raw food materials in Resto Taman Koleksi are brought from IPB’s innovation, such as analog rice, which is made from non-rice carbohydrate resources and has a low glycemic index (link 3 pages 2 and 11). These food outlets provide various menus, including those for vegetarians, as shown in the catalog (link 2, page 8, and link 3, pages 3 and 5).
IPB also provides fresh and healthy food products for campus and the local population through its official stores, such as IPBShops, ATP, and Uri Agro (links 1, 4, and 5).
Almost all food provided in the IPB canteen, is sold at a very friendly and affordable price. Healthy food can be seen from the menu option that fulfills balanced nutrition and food safety. News by Tribun NewsBogor mentioned some testimonies from students highlighting the affordable price of food in IPB canteens.
To ensure food safety, IPB has conducted training for canteen tenants and IPB kitchen management, doing sampling and analysis to prove their good practices by them. IPB has monitored food prices in all food outlets and regulates prices that should be affordable to students.
National Hunger
LPPM IPB has developed SPR (Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat), a community-based livestock improvement program in 23 regencies and 12 Provinces (2013 to present). It is an agent of change for managing the organization and human resources through training and education programs (including transfer of technology). LPPM IPB also has “Dosen Mengabdi” program. One of them was introducing squidattractor, an IPB innovation, to the fishermen to help them catch and harvest the squid easily and be environmentally friendly.
Digi Tani is an online platform established by IPB to provide access to knowledge and skills for farmers, fishermen, and food producers. In addition, IPB has also developed One Village One CEO (OVOC) collaboration with West Java Provincial Government and PT Astra Internasional, covering 53 villages. This program has successfully connected farmers to 2 conventional and 1 online platform market, improved productivity, and increased added value of products.
STP (Science and Tecno Park) IPB has regularly conducted business matching and business gatherings for small and medium enterprises to facilitate a meeting among young entrepreneurs (especially for food/agriculture sectors) and investors.
Another big annual event was horticulture is National Fruit and Ornamentals Festival (FBBN) in collaboration with the Bogor Regency Government, which held many side events such as Agro Innovation Expo, Nusantara Coffee Expo, Competition of Coffee plantation, Talk Show of Smart Farming, etc.
IPB also conducted SEMARAK BUMI TANI (SERUNI) in 2019 to introduce local products to the public and enhance interactions among farmers and the community around the campus. It consisted of various activities, namely an agriculture exhibition, consultation (health, agriculture, plant and animal clinics), workshop on Biopores and Waste Processing, Food Innovation Cooking Demo, Night Market, and traditional Dish Festival.
IPB also has many laboratories which can be accessed by the public, including local farmers and food producers, namely SEAFAST laboratory, Laboratory Testing Service, and Certification and Science and Technopark (STP) facilities. SEAFAST is equipped with modern laboratories to research and provide scientific data for food quality and safety improvement, nutrition improvement, food diversification, packaging and labeling, post-harvest, and cold chain development.
IPB provides access to knowledge, information, and technology for local farmers and food producers to improve sustainable farming practices through an online platform DigiTani/Tani Center. This platform has provided training, assistance, consultation, and advocacy for the farmers. IPB DIGITANI is an online dissemination and extension system for farmers.
IPB Plant stocks are available commercially (by Botani Seed store) and free of charge (by Permanent Seedling Area).
IPB has established some shopping centers/marketing outlets to facilitate daily needs, namely: IPB Shop, Botani Mart, ATP (Agribusiness and Techno Park), and Agrimart, which market the products in-store and online. The products are coming from IPB local partners and alumni. In ATP, all vegetables and fruits sold come from the farmers around the campus. IPB is important in training farmers to cultivate vegetables and fruit inorganic systems. All organic products harvested from these farmers are marketed in ATP. Likewise, Botani Mart and Agrimart also prioritize their product coming from IPB innovation products, as well as the product of all entrepreneurs, alumni, and farmers around campus, so that products can be promoted to the public.
IPB has also provided the local community with quality fresh vegetables from farmers from 53 villages in 4 regions involved under the One Village One CEO (OVOC) program (Ev. 2).
