Bakrie University Supports Zero Waste and Agrotourism in NTB
- Satria Zulfikar
Deputy Chancellor II of U-Bakrie, Muhammad Tri Andika Kurniawan, said that Bakrie University as the second-best private university in Indonesia has always supported innovation programs for the country. BFS is one of the programs that are useful in dealing with garbage.
"This is a unique and developed innovation. The innovations that we produce have been implemented in Bakrie Group companies," Muhammad Tri Andika Kurniawan remarked.
Besides working together in waste management, Bakrie University also offers West Nusa Tenggara cooperation in the field of education.
"We chose NTB as our partner. We are ready to assist magot innovation and waste management. We also offer cooperation in the field of education," he added.
The Deputy Governor of NTB, Sitti Rohmi Djalilah, said that she was very happy to be at the forum organized by Bakrie University because she had an effort to make NTB free from waste.
She said the zero dedoro (Sasak language; waste) program is not easy and has long-term results. There was already a BFS program in NTB, but it has not become an industry and is only like ordinary waste management so far. She hopes that in the future all districts and cities will have magot houses.
"Because handle waste is the responsibility of the city district, not the provincial government. We have to manage this organic waste because it can be a source of disease if not handled," Sitti Rohmi said.
“Our strategy is to encourage tourist villages to focus. Many people visit our place, it can't be dirty, people can't get sick, and obviously, they have to be smart," Sitti Rohmi added.
