Fermented Elephant Grass in Anticipation of Climate Change

Abstract

Various efforts that need to be made in anticipating climate change include increasing public awareness. Public awareness needs to be increased in society, especially by applying political pressure, changing transportation models, and changing diets both for humans and animals. Climate change has impacted almost all countries and regions, including Indonesia and the Sleman district, where Glagaharjo village is located. In dry climate conditions, it can be expected that cattle breeders will experience difficulties in obtaining fodder. Therefore, cattle breeders in Glaharajo village need an alternative feed other than fresh elephant grass. The manufacture of fermented feed or silage so that grass products that are abundant in the rainy season can be stored to anticipate the dry season
