Agritalk

Agritalk is activity was presented by IAAS Indonesia that raises issues or other interesting matters for discussion. This discussion is online-based, conducted through Line Square (bit.ly/Agritalk) which is attended by IAAS members. This activity is carried out every month and was hosted by Local Committees from IAAS Indonesia with different themes. The discussion was conducted in English. Before the discussion, each local committee that was the host made an article, so the participants already had an idea of what to discuss. Agritalk was held from April –Desember 2020.

The first Agritalk was hosted by Rudi Irvanto (IAAS LC Undip) with theme ‚Agricultur[l [s An Altern[tive for Unrenew[ble Fuels‛ on Frid[y, 24th April 2020 at 19.30 WIB. We discussed how impactful biofuels are and this discussion was to broaden insight about biofuels. Depletion of petroleum-derived fuel and environmental concern has promoted to look over the biofuel as an alternative fuel source. But a complete substitution of petroleum-derived fuels by biofuel is impossible from the production capacity and engine compatibility point of view. Yet, marginal replacement of diesel by biofuel can prolong the depletion of petroleum resources and abate the radical climate change caused by automotive pollutants.

The first session was a presentation by a speaker about youth and rural areas. There is a lot of reasons why the majority of young people prefer urban life to rural life. Those reasons can

be concluded as rural areas could not make them financially reassured. But, we should not feel discouraged because rural areas also need us-young people. We need to know who we are, who and what we are going to face, how to deal with it, how to put ourselves in places. Mbak Diah also shares her experience with Sekolah Pagesangan.
