Why is Multi-Business Forestry Needed to Overcome the Low Performance of Forestry Governance and Food Security in Indonesia? by Suryanto Suryanto, Dodik Ridho Nurrochmat, Suria Darma Tarigan, Iskandar Zulkarnaen Siregar, Ishak Yassir, Mangarah Silalahi, Irdika Mansur, Rhett D. Harisson, Agus Wahyudi, Lutfy Abdulah

“… The 0.6% contribution of the forestry sector to GDP is considered very low despite 64.1% of Indonesia's land area being allocated as forests. Most of the 64.8% production forest allocated is not yet optimized for strengthening national food security, in which Indonesia is ranked 65th in the world. …”

Spatial zoning for sustainable eucalyptus plantations: Optimizing land use via ecosystem service supply-demand matching by Xiaoqing Zhao, Jiajia He, Shijie Zhou, Pei Huang, Junwei Pu, Yanlin Wang, Min Feng

“…Key findings: (1) Dominated by forest and dry land, Lancang experienced significant land use shifts, notably dryland-to-forest conversions (∼50 %), heavily influenced by large-scale eucalyptus introduction. (2) Overall ES supply exceeded demand, but spatial mismatches existed; SDES relationships varied significantly with land use. (3) Based on SDES relationships and FLUS modeling, land was zoned into Conservation and Development, Priority Transfer, and Restricted Transfer areas. …”
