In Indonesia, the agriculture sector employs the largest share, 45 percent, of Indonesia's labor and contributes the second largest share, 17.5 percent, of gross domestic product (GDP). Poverty is a largely rural phenomenon. In 2002, 61 percent of the poor earned their livelihood in the agricultural sector while 63 percent of Indonesia's poor population resided in rural areas. In Indonesia, the agriculture sector is the main source of methane emissions as it accounts for 59 percent of total national emissions. Seventy percent of the emissions from the agriculture sector are generated by rice cultivation. Methane emission in agriculture is mainly due to inefficient practices such as over-irrigation, misuse of fertilizer, and poor livestock feeding practices. The study is organized as follows: the introductory chapter is followed by a chapter that discusses the key elements of adaptation in a general agricultural context. This is followed by a review of the literature on climate change in Indonesia and the implications for improving rice productivity in the context of concomitant changes in land use. Chapter four focuses on two key issues for economic and policy options as part of the adaptation agenda. The first relates to the important role of Bulog, (logistics agency) and the second pertains to the current structure of the fertilizer subsidies. The final chapter presents conclusions and recommendations.CC BY 3.0 IGOACIDITYADAPTATION IN AGRICULTUREADDITIVESAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LANDSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL SUPPLIESAGRICULTURAL USEAGRICULTURAL USESAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE SECTORALTERNATIVE CROPSALTITUDEAMMONIAAMMONIUMAMMONIUM SULFATEANIMAL PRODUCTIONANIMALSAQUACULTUREATMOSPHEREATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATIONAVAILABILITY OF RICEAVERAGE YIELDSBORONCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON SEQUESTRATIONCASSAVACEREAL YIELDSCLASSIFICATIONCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE VARIATIONCLIMATESCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCLIMATOLOGYCOCOLORSCOMMODITYCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION AREASCONSTRUCTIONCONTINUOUS CROPPINGCONVERGENCECOOPERATIVESCOPPERCORNCROPCROP AREACROP DIVERSIFICATIONCROP FAILURECROP GROWTHCROP PRODUCTIONCROP RESIDUESCROP SCIENCECROP WATERCROP YIELDSCROPPINGCROPPING SEASONSCROPSDATESDEFORESTATIONDEGRADATIONDEMAND FOR FOODDISEASESDRAINAGEDROUGHTDRY PERIODSDRY SEASONDRY SEASONSECOSYSTEMSEMISSIONEMISSIONS REDUCTIONEQUIPMENTEROSIONEVAPORATIONEXTENSION SERVICESFAOFARMFARM INCOMESFARM MANAGEMENTFARM SIZEFARMERFARMER RESPONSEFARMERSFARMINGFARMING ACTIVITIESFARMSFERTILISERFERTILIZATIONFERTILIZERFERTILIZER SUBSIDIESFERTILIZER SUBSIDYFERTILIZER USEFERTILIZERSFISHFISHERIESFLOOD MITIGATIONFLOODINGFLOODSFOOD AIDFOOD CROPFOOD CROP MANAGEMENTFOOD CROPSFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYFORAGE GRASSESFORESTFOREST FIRESFORESTRYFOSSIL FUELFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFROSTGEOPHYSICSGERMPLASMGHGGHGSGLOBAL N FERTILIZER CONSUMPTIONGLOBAL WARMINGGRAINGRAIN PRODUCTIONGRAIN YIELDGRASSESGRAZINGGREEN REVOLUTIONGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GASESGROUNDNUTGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER SOURCESGROWING SEASONHARVESTINGHARVESTSHECTARES OF LANDHORTICULTUREHOUSINGHUMAN ACTIVITYHUMIDITYHYDROLOGICAL CYCLEHYDROLOGYIMPACT OF IRRIGATIONINCUBATIONINNOVATIONINTENSIVE CROPPINGIRRIIRRIGATION WATERLABORATORIESLAND AREALAND DEGRADATIONLAND DEVELOPMENTLAND MANAGEMENTLAND RESOURCESLAND USELIVESTOCKLOSS IN YIELDMAIZEMETABOLISMMETEOROLOGYMETHANEMETHANE EMISSIONSMONSOONSMOSQUITONATIONAL EMISSIONSNATIVE PLANTSNATURAL RESOURCESNEGATIVE IMPACTSNGOSNITROGENNITROGEN FERTILIZERNUTRIENTSNUTRITIONOCEANSORGANIC MATTERORGANIC WASTEOSCILLATIONSPADDYPEST CONTROLPEST MANAGEMENTPESTICIDESPESTSPHOSPHORUSPHOSPHORUS CONTENTPHOTOSYNTHESISPLANT BREEDINGPLANT PROTECTIONPLANTATIONSPOTASSIUMPOTASSIUM FERTILIZERSPOTENTIAL RICE YIELDSPOTENTIAL YIELDSPRECIPITATIONPRECIPITATION PATTERNSPRESERVATIONPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCEPRODUCTION GAINSPRODUCTION METHODPRODUCTION METHODSRAINFALLRAINFALL DISTRIBUTIONREPLANTINGRESERVOIRRESERVOIRSRICERICE AREASRICE CULTIVATIONRICE FIELDSRICE PRICERICE PRICESRICE PRODUCTIONRICE RESEARCHRICE TRADERICE YIELDSRIVERRUNOFFRURAL DEVELOPMENTSANDY SOILSSEA LEVEL RISESEEDSEED TREATMENTSMALL FARMERSSOIL CHARACTERISTICSSOIL EROSIONSOIL FERTILITYSOILSSOLAR RADIATIONSOUTHERN OSCILLATION INDEXSOWINGSOYBEANSPECIESSPECIFIC HUMIDITYSTRAWSUGARCANESULFURSURFACE WATERSSWAMPTEMPERATURETILLAGETINTRANSPLANTINGTREE SPECIESTREESUNIVERSITIESUPLAND AREASUREAVEGETATIONWATER RESOURCESWATER SCARCITYWATER SUPPLYWATERSHEDWEEDSWETLANDWETLAND AREAWINDWINDSYIELD LOSSZINCWorld Bank10.1596/6236
