The most striking impact of research over the past year is its contribution to the change in Indonesias rice production from the worlds largest importer of the major staple food to self-sufficiency. In increasing availability of seed new varieties, fertilizers, and pesticides as well as favorable pricing policies, encouraged farmers to intensify their rice fields. Indonesian farmers often prefer to grow rice with good eating quality, then select varieties for other characteristics such as high yield, early maturity, and resistance to certain pests and diseases. Therefore, only a few varieties are grown widely by farmers. Increased production of palawija crops-food crops other than rice that includes corn, peanuts, soybean, cassava, and sweet potatoes have been given a higher priority. One of the goals of the agricultural development is to continue to obtain sufficient rice production, but at the same time substantially raise reducing of other crops to provide a more balanced diet for Indonesians and reduce costly imports. In addition, these crops play an important role as animal feed and material for industries.

Ecosystems have a structure consisting of producers, consumers, and decomposers. The producers are the green plants which use light energy to produce living matter from nonliving matter in the environment, the consumers are the animals, while the decomposers the bacteria and fungi that change the dead organic material back into simpler raw materials which can then be used again by the producers. Main Idea : Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers are structure of ecosystems.
