The area of Indonesian rice fields in 2016 reached 8.19 million hectares (ha), an increase of 1.16% from the previous year, this number comprising 4.78 million ha of irrigated rice fields and 3.4 million ha of non-irrigated rice fields. On the other hand agricultural activities also cause climate change due to greenhouse gases (GHG) produced. GHG is a gas contained in the atmosphere, which absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation. This study aims to make a model of the rice productivity system, so as to produce a strategy to mitigate GHG emissions without reducing rice yields. Emissions to be mitigated in this study are CO2 and CH4. The approach is carried out with a dynamics system because it has the characteristics of a complex, non-linear system dynamics, changes in system behavior over time and feedback that describes new information about the state of the rice productivity system, which will then produce further decisions. The results of this study are mitigation strategies for CH4 and CO2 carbon emissions that are modeled using a dynamic system to analyze current conditions and evaluate existing problems so that they can provide alternative problem solving scenarios.
