Abstract

Abstract: Reclamation is an effort to repair the damaged mining sector to provide optimal benefits. This review article aims to propose a natural product technology approach to the reclamation of post-coal mining land by increasing the content of soil organic matter so that the post-mining land becomes fertile and can be used for agricultural land. The method used is an observation and literature study. Literature searches were using them ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. Land-use change of post-mining site to agricultural land provides prospective economic value to the community. However, the land quality of the post-mining area should be improved before food crop production. Tephrosia vogelii is a member of the Papilionoideae subfamily is important for land revegetation. They can fertilize the soil because of mutualistic symbiosis with the bacteria Rhizobium sp. which is capable to fix nitrogen in the soil and hence provide available nitrogen. Thus, the use of post-mining land as agriculture can improve the economy and sustainability as well as protect life and the environment with natural product technology.
