The policies that need to be in place implemented in the implementation of green industry in South Sulawesi are controlling land conversion through increasing the capacity of farmers by implementing climate change agriculture technology or climate-smart agriculture. Providing environmental services in the form of assistance or incentives for farmers who cultivate plants by maintaining the sustainability of the carrying capacity of their land or who contribute to improving environmental quality. Development of downstream natural resources using technology that does not harm the environment or surrounding communities and can provide high-added product value for farmers.
