NUSA DUA-Bertempat di The Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali, ICOPE 2018 bakal digelar. Acara itu dimulai Rabu hingga Jumat (25-27 April 2018). Dalam acara ini dibahas berbagai aspek, yang intinya mencari solusi peningkatan produksi sawit yang berkelanjutan dengan pendekatan sains dan teknologi. Acara International Conference on Oil Palm and Environment (ICOPE 2018) ini bertema “Menuju Industri Kelapa Sawit Berkelanjutan: Solusi untuk Produksi Lokal dan Perubahan Global”. Sedang penyelenggaranya adalah tiga organisasi dengan latar belakang industri yang berbeda, yaitu WWF Indonesia, CIRAD dan Sinar Mas Agribusiness and Food. Konferensi ini sudah dilakukan tahun 2007 hingga 2016 dan menuai kesuksesan. Dan di konferensi kali ini dijadwalkan hadir Menteri Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian, Menteri Pertanian, Menteri Kehutanan dan Lingkungan Hidup serta Menteri Agraria dan Tata Ruang. “Konferensi ICOPE keenam akan membahas soal teknologi dengan tingkat akurasi yang tinggi untuk mencapai praktek keberlanjutan agar selaras dengan produksi dan konservasi,” ungkap Chairman ICOPE 2018, J.P Caliman. Dia memberi contoh semisal kontribusi penggunaan drone, pengggunaan kecerdasan buatan, integrasi lanskap, restorasi fungsi ekosistem, perbaikan dan penggunaan jejak karbon dan jejak air, yang semua diarahkan untuk keberlangsungan pada industri. “Namun ujungnya satu, agar industri kelapa sawit ini bisa berproduksi dengan maksimal dalam menjalankan konservasinya, sekaligus menetapkan tolok ukur industri secara keseluruhan,” tambahnya. Aplikasi teknologi ini, kata Caliman, merupakan keharusan, sehingga pihaknya menggandeng lembaga riset, LSM lingkungan dan sosial, WWF, pekebun, pengolah pabrik serta lembaga pemerintah. Itu agar satu visi untuk tingkat keberlanjutan yang tinggi sehubungan dengan konservasi dan produksi.
