Abstract
GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS FOR GLOBAL SOLUTIONS: ROLE OF AGRICULTURAL,
FOOD, AND BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERS IN ENSURING GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY
Agricultural, food, and biological engineers (AFBEs) strive to ensure that the necessities of life are provided in a sustainable manner. They apply engineering principles to processes associated with managing natural resources and producing agriculturally based goods. The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has a long history of providing resources to help its member engineers solve problems in food, agriculture, natural resources, and the environment. Recognizing the need to connect its members and partner societies to address emerging challenges as a global community, ASABE initiated multi-year global engagement activities in 2012 that have resulted in identifying the following goals for an Agricultural and Biological Engineering Global Initiative: (1) Improve food productivity; (2) Reduce food losses and waste; (3) Enhance energy conservation and efficiency; (4) Develop adaptable renewable energy systems; (5) Improve water availability, conservation, and efficient use; and (6) Provide clean water for multiple uses (human consumption, agriculture, recreation, ecosystem services, biodiversity, etc.).
26 | P a g e
AFBEs play a critical role in addressing food security by providing solutions to improve food productivity. These efficient production systems must be extended beyond the developed world. A second major area in which AFBEs influence food security is in reducing postharvest losses and food waste. Three of the specific objectives that AFBEs are pursuing toward reducing food losses and waste: (1) Develop methods to quantify losses in production, processing, and distribution; (2) Develop real-time prediction and monitoring of product quality and safety; and (3) Design scalable, regionally appropriate harvesting, drying, storage, processing, and handling systems to minimize loss. Postharvest losses in many areas of the world result in up to 40% of food becoming unfit for consumption. Solutions developed by AFBEs will be necessary to reduce these losses and preserve food.
ASABE is working with partners around the world, and developing new partnerships, to help achieve the objectives. ASABE publishes relevant information in different formats, provides venues for sharing information and networking, and develops relevant standards. ASABE is organizing an international conference “Engineering and Technology Innovation for Global Food Security” in Stellenbosch, South Africa, October 24-27, 2016, to bring together partners from around the world to share information on improving food productivity and reducing food losses and waste.
ASABE has prepared a document entitled “Global Partnerships for Global Solutions: An Agricultural and Biological Engineering Global Initiative” that outlines the grand challenges that the world is facing, highlights the specific needs of the three “security” themes (food security, energy security, and water security) in the context of sustainability and climate change, and specifies how ASABE, its members, and its partners will address these grand challenges as the year 2050 approaches. The document will assist ASABE and its partners in advancing the role, relevance, and importance of the agricultural, food, and biological engineering profession to policy makers and funding agencies, as well as to potential partners and collaborators, with the goal of addressing food, energy, and water security challenges.

Abstract
NEAR-REAL-TIME SENSING SYSTEM FOR PRECISION AGRICULTURE
The potential of precision agriculture is limited by the lack of appropriate measurement and analysis techniques for agronomically important factors. While the concept of precision farming is sound, our understanding of the physical and biological aspects of the cropping system is incomplete due to limitations in the current sensing and data processing technologies.
With the unmanned aerial vehicle, a farmer may carry out his own data collection (and data
processing) tasks. New opportunities with UAV for agricultural sensing have attracted a lot of
attention lately. A simple data processing package is what the industry needed for the different UAV
systems on the market. Near-real-time data feedback may improve the whole data processing
system accuracy. We are working with local industry people in the development of practical sensing
units for farmers. Our goal is to develop an automatic farmer’s “One-button” UAS remote sensing
system using our experiences on near-real-time remote sensing plus the data accumulated in the
last decade.

Abstract
MALAYSIA, THE SPECIAL DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN ASEAN
-AN IMPRESSION FROM JAPAN
Since my first visit Malaysia in 1999, I visited total three times in 2001 and 2002. My
impression on Malaysia is the special developed country in ASEAN, because of low population
density, high GDP per capita and living level, the development of public transportation that a
traveler can move by oneself, few paddy field, low food self-sufficiency rate, and advanced farm
mechanization by using large machine. Malaysian agriculture will be discussed in comparison with
other ASEAN countries’ one.

Abstract
AN OVERVIEW: APPLIED RESEARCH ON INTELLIGENT SYSTEM IN BIO PRODUCTION ENGINEERING
– CASE STUDY: SMALL-SCALE BIO-INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM –
In the early of year 1980, research that related to application of an intelligent system in the bio-production system was started at the same time with development of information technology (IT). Nowadays, after more than 35 years, these applications is increasingly important. Intelligent system in bio-production is an emerging field focusing on the enhancement of bio-system development through improved data and information processes. Definition of an intelligent system is a machine system with an embedded, Internet-connected computer that has the capacity to gather and analyze data and communicate with other systems. Furthermore, intelligent system has a major role to play in all facets of Indonesia bio-production system, starting from upstream to downstream, or from on-farm to off-farm, in order to improve the efficiency and productivity of bio-production and allied activities.
Recently, based on intelligent system experts stated that research in these systems faces numerous challenges, many of which relate to representing a dynamic physical world computationally, i.e.; uncertainty, dynamic world, time-consuming computation. Moreover, especially in Indonesia, there are still several problems in the field implementation, for example; lack of farmer knowledge in IT system, limitations of infrastructure and supporting facilities, also financial aspect, delaying on technology transfer. As conclusion, research development of intelligent system in the field of agricultural and biosystem is a must and should be continued for improving the system quality.
