Integrated urban farming system as a model for disaster mitigation and adaptation in Lombok Island

Abstract

Abstract Lombok Island is a small island located in the ring of fire, which are very vulnerable to earthquakes, tsunamis, ground movements, volcanic eruptions or caused by humans, such as floods and droughts. The earthquake, August 5, 2018 with a magnitude of 7.0. Communities need supplies of food, medicine and protection by utilizing the surrounding resources as local resources.

The study was conducted on an area of 0.5 ha in the city of Mataram which combines local food crops, medicinal plants and goats as a form of mitigation and adaptation to natural disasters. The data collected includes the diversity of species, production and other derivative products. The results show that the diversity for food sources is 34 and medicinal plants 30 species. Production of important food crops, including Dioscorea spp., Artocarpus communis, Musa paradisiaca, Moringa oleifera, Aleurites moluccana. Medicinal plants include Melaleuca leucadendra, Cymbopogon nardus, Citrus lemon, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Curcuma domestica, Curcuma xanthorrhiza. Production and derivative products from goat farming include meat, goat milk and compost. The composition biodiversity and productivity of urban farming land in general can be used as a model for mitigation and adaptation when a disaster occurs.
