Key Findings West Java Bali* 61 species of aquatic organisms Sundanese uses the diversity of aquatic organisms for food and livelihood fish, frogs, snails, reptiles and insects 58 species of aquatic organisms Balinese collect a variety of aquatic organisms for food and feed All elements of this system used for livelihood *complex, irrigated rice ecosystem "subak"#7B. Lesson Learned • Rice-fish culture is important in Indonesia, has been known for years, but underestimated and undervalued its potential Many good reasons to support the target: • Provide more food sources, better use of scarce resources, protect the environment, create opportunities for value added Increase food security, lower food expenditures, provide rural employment Rice-fish culture needs to be promoted again understood as the precursor for rice-based aquaculture#8COMPONENT 2 RRI BIODIVERSITY, LANDSCAPES AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES#9A. Background: Maintaining an adequate tree cover and integrating trees and crop in agroecosystem landscapes can provide multiple services and products, both under economic and environmental aspects Although trees and rice are often seen as incompatible, TOF integrated in rice production landscapes can provide multiple services mitigating stressors such as climate change, water scarcity, land degradation helping address multiple stressors faced by rice production systems.#10B. Finding TOF in rice production landscapes in Asia can be found in: Food, fodder Soil productivity Woodfuel, timber Animal production Soil protection Incomes/job Market adaptability Water level Home gardens Roads and Agroforestry streams systems Small woodlands Hedges Fallows X X X X X X X X X X X X X X C sequestration and X X X X X storage Biodiversity preservation Buffering T° X X X X#11● c. Next Steps Replicating and up-scaling the present study at national and regional level. Encouraging governments to promote trees presence and agroforestry practices in these kinds of crop systems (Agroforestry Guidelines developed by FAO, 2013). Assessing availability of agroforestry planting material, providing information on how to access it. Developing catalogues of trees suitable for each of the different rice growing situations#12COMPONENT 3 RRI MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Increasing productivity & efficiencies in rice intensification Making choices at field level RJ ECHIVER MAYOR 2010 William Settle#13A. Process: - National meeting – link to national policy, coordinate among RRI components Planning - set principles, choice of themes and locations (link with component Curriculum development (link with component 1) Training of Trainers - Farmers Field Schools Case studies Consolidation/recommendations#14Series of Activities: Indonesia FIELD → Indramayu, West Java Series of meetings with farmer groups in Indramayu for site selection#15B. Findings: - On average the yield has increased with 10 – 15% compared to conventional • One of the biggest challenges for farmers is the rapid and massive development of weeds, which is caused by the limited use of water C. Lesson Learned: Adaptable to: specific conditions, locations and scales Three key lessons 1) 2) 3) Increasing rice yield alone is not sufficient There is no "one size fits all" or "silver bullet" Sustainable production is knowledge intensive 15#16II.

One Million Hectare Rice - Fish Culture Program (GENTANADI) 21#22Background Why "Rice-fish" Culture should be developed in Indonesia ? Rice is the main staple food and fish is one of the important protein sources; Rice is the important food security commodity economically, socially, and politically; To achieve food security, rice field should be maintained sustainably; To accelerate inland fish production without reducing rice production; To improve environmental condition in rice field ecosystem; To improve sustainable food security at farmers and rural levels; 22#23● Full utilization Benefits of rice-fish culture of natural resources-increased ● ● . productivity from paddy field: - - Rice production increase by 10-20%, 6-7.5 tons/ha/crop; - Additional production of fish/aquatic animals: 1,2-1,5 tonnes/ha. Symbiotic relationship between fish and rice: - Paddy field provides fish with free feed; - - Fish fertilizes paddy with feces and improve soil structure; Paddy provide oxygen and shelter for fish/crustacean. Food Safety and environmental benefits - - Reduce chemical/pesticides/herbicides usage — less. environmental impacts; Social and economic benefits: - - Increase farmer income US$ 4.800-7.800/ha Protect the rice cultivation by making it an attractive livelihood 23#24Common fishes cultivate in paddy fields Tilapia Gouramy Catfish (Clarias) Nilem 24#25Aquaculture Area in Indonesia (hectares) in 2012 156,193 176,930 ■Mariculture 133,574 Brackiswater culture Freshwater Culture 657,346 Rice - Fish and Source: Indonesian Aquaculture Statistic, 2012 Freshwater Culture 25#26Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam N 5 North Sumatera Five Main Rice-Fish Producers in Indonesia, 2012 SUMATERA Riau 4 Riau Island Jambi Bengkulu South Sumatera INDIAN OCEAN 3 Bangka Belitung West Kalimantan BORNEO Central Kalimantan 1.
