The Indonesian government has implemented a target to decrease agricultural emissions by 10 million tons of CO2 equivalent by 2030, part of the broader Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The Ministry of Agriculture, led by Vice Minister Sudaryono, emphasizes that the agriculture sector is pivotal not only as a greenhouse gas emitter but also as a carbon sink through sustainable practices.
The government has established Presidential Regulation No. 110 of 2025 to facilitate cross-sector carbon economic instruments, including agriculture. This initiative supports Indonesia's Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience (LTS-LCCR) 2050 and aligns with the RPJMN 2025-2029 goals of integrating economic growth with food security and green transition initiatives.
Efforts include developing biogas, improving soil carbon reserves, and enhancing carbon literacy among farmers. By strengthening Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems, Indonesia aims to attract global investment in low-carbon agricultural projects.
