Abstract :
Tropical bio-geo-resource has a high biomass productivity but still less in economic values. Integrated Bio-cycle Farming System (IBFS) is an alternative system which harmoniously combines agricultural sectors, and non-agricultural aspects, on landscape ecological management. The cycle of energy, organic matter and carbon, water, nutrient, production, crop, money was managed through 7R (reuse, reduce, recycle, refill, replace, repair, replant) to obtain optimal benefits for the farmer, community, agriculture and global environment.The system has multifunction and multi-product (Food, Feed, Fuel, Fiber, Fertilizer, Pharmacy, Edutainment, Eco-tourism). They will meet the expected basic need for daily-, monthly-, yearly- and decade´s income at short-, medium- and long- term periods. IBFS was expected to provide additional benefits for farmers with small, medium and big capital, through the recycling of organic waste into renewable resources to produce high-value production, such as organic fertilizer (liquid and solid), animal feed, and sources of bio-gas energy. IBFS has a good prospect for sustainable economic, environment and socio-culture aspect.
