ABSTRACT The Cattle - Oil Palm Integration System (SISK) has provided a synergistic advantage, namely a multiplied benefit, obtained from plants and livestock and the result of the interaction between the two. Oil palm plants get manure from cow manure. On the other hand, cattle obtain feed from palm oil waste, thus creating a zero waste - zero cost condition, which is in line with the Circular Economy model, which has the concept of reusing, reducing, and improving materials in the production process. The purpose of this study was to examine the economic impact (Circular Economy) on the Cattle - Oil Palm Integration System (SISK) to support the realization of sustainable agriculture. The method used in this study is qualitative, namely a survey of literature on circular economy and case studies of the implementation of Circular Economy on SISK in Karya Makmur Village, Penawar Aji District, Tulang Bawang Regency and its influence in realizing sustainable agriculture. The research was carried out from September to October 2021. The results of the literature study state that the circular economy is an economic model built through the management of waste into new products or as raw materials for other products so that economic efficiency is achieved and resources can be maintained continuously in a sustainable manner. The results of the case study of the implementation of the Circular Economy on the SISK show that the application of the SISK can save the cost of purchasing fertilizer by 64% and the cost of buying animal feed by 50% and can increase oil palm production and farmers' income by about 25% so that it is economically profitable. The application of SISK, apart from being able to improve/improve the physical and chemical quality of the soil, is also financially beneficial (production efficiency) to realize a sustainable agricultural system. |
