Indonesia: Farm efficiency education
The government became aware that rural livestock management and farming practices could be more efficient, cost effective, and socially acceptable without reducing yield. (ex- in livestock management, the use of high quality forage such as legumes, and the use of rumen modifier to improve the feed quality of local crop residues can reduce methane. In paddy rice cultivation, controlled irrigation can lead to a reduction of CH4 emission). The government is committed to promote better agricultural practices by conducting nation-wide campaigns in collaboration with the provincial and local governments.
