This study investigates sustainable alternatives for managing agricultural harvest waste in Aceh Besar, focusing on environmentally beneficial practices within local agriculture. To address the challenges of agricultural waste, this research evaluates eight alternatives: composting or organic fertilizer production, biopesticide or herbicide creation, fuel development from agricultural waste, natural fiber extraction, food product development, livestock feed, biochar for soil recovery, and the use of waste as raw materials for health and cosmetic products. Utilizing a structured decision-making approach, feedback from farmers, local stakeholders and agricultural experts was gathered to assess each alternative based on environmental impact, feasibility, and sustainability. The prioritization results ranked composting or organic fertilizer production as the top alternative, followed by livestock feed, and biopesticide or herbicide production. These findings offer actionable insights for policymakers and agricultural stakeholders in implementing sustainable waste management practices that support regional environmental goals. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
