[:id]Dalam rangkaian Lustrum XII Fakultas Teknologi Pertanian (FTP) UGM, pada hari Senin, 26 Juni 2023 Departemen Teknik Pertanian dan Biosistem (DTPB) telah dilaksanakan kuliah tamu tentang sisa makanan (food waste) dan pemanfaatanya untuk biogas dan pupuk (fertilizer) di Ruang Sidang DTPB FTP UGM. Kuliah tamu disampaikan oleh Dr. Muhammad Heikal Ismail, senior lecturer dari Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UPM Serdang Malaysia.
Dr. Heikal Ismail menyampaikan bahwa sisa makanan menjadi isu besar dunia. Negara-negara maju menyumbang limbah sisa makanan terbanyak antara lain USA, UK, Singapura, Jepang, Korea, Taiwan. Di literatur dijelaskan bahwa limbah organik terbesar di dunia adalah sisa makanan, terhitung sekitar 30,7%. Untuk negara berkembang, masalah sisa makanan ditemukan pada tahap awal rantai produksi. Sisa makanan sebagai limbah organik menjadi potensi besar untuk diolah menjadi biogas dan pupuk. Dr. Heikal sangat tertarik dengan pemberdayaan masyarakat yang dikembangkan oleh DTPB FTP UGM khususnya tentang biogas di Desa Selopamioro Bantul dan Desa Sambak Magelang untuk energi dan pupuk. Hal ini sesuai dengan SDGs poin 2 (sustainable agriculture) dan poin 7 (affordable and clean energy).
Kuliah tamu juga diikuti pembahasan tindak lanjut pengelolaan limbah sisa makanan menjadi biogas dan pupuk. Pembahasan ini diikuti Kepala Laboratorium Teknik Lingkungan Bangunan Pertanian, Dr. Andri Prima Nugroho beserta dosen DTPB Dr. Prieskarinda Lestari dan Dr. Ngadisih.

The guest lecture took place in the Meeting Room of DTPB at FTP UGM and was delivered by Dr. Muhammad Heikal Ismail, a senior lecturer from the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UPM Serdang, Malaysia.
Dr. Heikal Ismail emphasized that food waste is a significant global issue, with developed countries such as the USA, UK, Singapore, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan being major contributors to food waste. Literature shows that the largest component of organic waste worldwide is food waste, accounting for approximately 30.7%. In developing countries, the issue of food waste is often found at the early stages of the production chain. Food waste, as organic waste, represents significant potential for conversion into biogas and fertilizer. Dr. Heikal expressed a keen interest in the community empowerment initiatives undertaken by DTPB FTP UGM, particularly regarding biogas projects in Selopamioro Village, Bantul, and Sambak Village, Magelang, for energy and fertilizer production. This aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under point 2 (sustainable agriculture) and point 7 (affordable and clean energy).
The guest lecture also included discussions on the follow-up actions for managing food waste into biogas and fertilizer. These discussions were attended by Dr. Andri Prima Nugroho, the Head of the Environmental Engineering Laboratory for Agricultural Buildings, along with DTPB lecturers Dr. Prieskarinda Lestari and Dr. Ngadisih.
