The core problem

The 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Agroecology and Farming Systems (2nd ICoSAFS) was convened to address critical challenges in sustainable agriculture, with a particular emphasis on rice and other carbohydrate crops. Organized by the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University, along with the Rice Researcher Cluster, IPB University, the IPB Circular Economic Cluster-COI-NEXT TUAT, and the International South-east Asia Agricultural Scientist (ISSAAS) Indonesian Chapter, the conference took place on June 12-13, 2024, in Bogor, Indonesia. This gathering brought together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to exchange knowledge and advance sustainable practices in agroecology and farming systems.

The conference proceedings were compiled through a rigorous peer-review process. A committee of editors and reviewers evaluated submitted manuscripts to ensure scientific quality and relevance to the conference themes. The review process, detailed in the preface, followed standard academic practices to maintain integrity and excellence. The event itself was structured to facilitate presentations, discussions, and networking, with sessions dedicated to rice and other carbohydrate crops, sustainable farming systems, and circular economy approaches in agriculture.

Introduction
