Abstract

The 4th International Conference on Agricultural Engineering for Sustainable Agriculture Production (AESAP) 2021 was successfully organized by Mechanical and Biosystem Engineering Department, Faculty of Agriculture Engineering and Technology, IPB University. Organizer was collaborated with (1) Indonesian Society of Agricultural Engineering (ISAE) Bogor Chapter, (2) Indonesian Industrial & Beverages Crops Research Institute (IIBCRI), Ministry of Agriculture, Indonesia, (3) Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute, Ministry of Agriculture - Republic of Indonesia and (4) Yanmar Agricultural Research Institute (YARI) IPB. Due to COVID-19 related real conference and travel restrictions, AESAP 2021 was held as an online conference on 11-12 Octobers 2021 by Online Video Conference platform.The conference has provided an opportunity to strengthen network among academicians, researcher, practitioners, and government in collaboration for sustainable agriculture productions. This year, the theme of the conference is “The Role of Agricultural and Biosystem Engineering to provide and manage Food, Land, Water, and Bioenergy to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) toward Industry 4.0”. The conference was thematically discussed the contribution of biosystem engineering for sustainable agriculture in the industrial revolution 4.0 era, covering topics of agricultural engineering field, such as:1. Postharvest and Food Engineering2. Energy and Agricultural Machinery3. Land and Water Resources Engineering4. Agricultural Structure and Environment Engineering5. System Engineering and Informatics for AgricultureAESAP 2021 main program consisted of three plenary sessions. AESAP 2021 successfully delivered 30 minutes-plenary lectures (20-minute lecture and 10-minute discussion) by five (5) difference countries such as: Dr. Ir.
