Tropical Biological Natural Resource Management Through Integrated Bio-Cycles Farming System

Biodiversity and net primary productivity in the tropical ecosystems were the highest in the world, about 750 gC/m2/year. This abundance is because it is supported by high temperatures, rainfall, moisture, light intensity, and rapid organic cycling along a year in the tropical regions. Moist tropical forests are blessed without anyone planting, maintaining, and disturbing them in the long-term periods, so they can function as the lungs of the world to provide oxygen and maintain the earth’s climate. Although biological productivity is 10 times, the economic value is only half compared to temperate ecosystems. The new paradigm from extraction into the empowerment of natural resources will provide new challenges to move from the red and green economic concept to the blue economic concept with added values of economy, socio-culture, and environment aspect for sustainable development. The synergism between biological resources (flora, fauna, human) and land resources (land, minerals, water, air, microclimate) by the development of Integrated Bio-cycle Management (IBM) through empowerment of life cycle assessment as a closed-to-natural ecosystem would manage our tropical natural resources through multifunctional and multi-product system. Information about agroecosystem, life cycle assessment, biowaste, bioenergy, bioeconomy on tropical natural resources would give valuable concepts for sustainable development of smart tropical agroecosystem management. This integrated farming system can produce food, feed, fiber, fertilizer, wood, energy, water, oxygen, medicine, mysticism, and tourism, so they have added values in environmental, economic, socio-cultural, and health aspects. This system is essential for the sustainable and productive management of tropical natural resources. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
