Preface
It gives me great pleasure to extend you all a high appreciation for your participation in joining the 8 th International Conference on Sustainable Agriculture and Environment (ICSAE) on August 24-25, 2021. This conference is held online in Surakarta Indonesia due to current Covid-19 pandemic circumstances and proudly organized by Centre for Biotechnology and Biodiversity Research and Development, Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), and the Faculty of Agriculture UNS. This conference is also supported by the Indonesian Diaspora Network United (IDNU). Furthermore, to improve key performance indicators, this conference is supported by the Faculty of Arts and Design, Faculty of Social and Political Science, and Faculty of Economic and Business in UNS.
The 8 th ICSAE conference belongs to the ICSAE conference series. The previous conferences were held in Surakarta Indonesia (2013) as the 1 st , Konya Turkey (2015) as the 2 nd ICSAE, Warsaw Poland (2016) as the 3 rd ICSAE, Surakarta Indonesia (2017) as the 4 th ICSAE, Hammamet Tunisia (2018) as the 5 th ICSAE, Konya Turkey (2019) as the 6 th ICSAE, and Surakarta Indonesia (2020) as the 7 th ICSAE. We are sure that the 8 th ICSAE will be the flagship conference for researchers, students, and professionals in the areas related to agriculture and environment.
Sustainable is the keyword in agricultural and environmental management to assure global food security and maintain the high quality of human life. According to that, this conference is held to identify ideas, practices, and policies that constitute our concept of sustainable agriculture and the environment. We aim to provide a platform for researchers, academics, and practicing professionals worldwide to present their research and professional development activities in agriculture, environment, food, and other relevant subjects. Stakeholders' exchange of knowledge and experiences is needed due to the rapid 2 development of science and technology in agriculture and related sectors. The contribution of this conference to the development of food security is truly significant for introducing new scientific knowledge that is much needed in Indonesia to maintain a safe and secure environment and look at more effective ways to anticipate future challenges. Especially during this pandemic, agriculture and environment are the key sector which have important contribution to fulfil the basic need of people.
In the current conference, we invite some influential distinguished speakers to share their valuable information and knowledge for the plenary session at this conference. All the presentation mechanism was done by using Zoom meeting online platform. There were 3 plenary sessions consist of 2 invited speakers for each panel session. Each panel duration was 1.5 hours and per invited speaker was allocated for maximum 30 minutes of talk and followed with 15 minutes of Q n A. The ICSAE-8 also receive 198 papers which presented during 2 days in row by virtual in oral and poster format. Per presenter in the oral format, was allocated for maximum 10 minutes and 5 minutes Q n A, while the posters were presented in digital through ICSAE website, then the participants could enjoy with no time of limit. To be more flexible, all the presentation from the presenter were recorded and uploaded in YouTube, hence participant (commonly the non-registered one) that can't attend live, can see the presentation in their flexible time. This also as the solution, for the participants who don't have proper internet connection.
Lastly, at this opportunity, I would like to thank the committee for their great contribution to making the conference successfully organized. To all participants, I hope this conference will enrich you with the new perspective of current knowledge and possible future partnership and collaboration in fostering the advancement of agriculture, environment, and related sectors. We are looking forward to
