Abstract

The study titled "Study of the Variety of Local Snacks and Pastries in Medan City: Uniqueness, Preferences, and Culinary Culture" explores the rich diversity of Medan's local snacks and pastries, highlighting their historical roots, cultural significance, and evolving culinary trends. Key findings reveal that traditional snacks like Bika Ambon, Bolu Meranti, Martabak Har, and Getuk Banana each carry unique histories and traditional recipes, reflecting Medan's culinary heritage. Modern pastry trends, incorporating Western influences with local flavors, showcase the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation. Preferences for these snacks and pastries are influenced by both rational factors, such as price and quality, and emotional and cultural factors, including family habits and childhood memories. The study underscores the multifaceted nature of food preferences and the importance of respecting local culinary traditions while embracing global influences. This comprehensive understanding of Medan's culinary landscape not only celebrates its ethnic diversity and historical richness but also serves as a foundation for sustainable culinary tourism development. By promoting and preserving traditional snacks alongside modern pastries, Medan can attract tourists, strengthen its regional culinary identity, and empower the local economy. Data collection methods include participant observation and in-depth interviews with business owners, sellers, and consumers, providing valuable insights into the role of culinary delights in Medan's culture.

Abstract

Climate change, environmental degradation, and ecosystem destruction demand the adoption of eco-friendly practices in economic activities. Beyond environmental benefits, such practices enhance economic competitiveness, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Tanjung Rejo Mangrove Tourism Village in Medan Belawan exemplifies the integration of sustainable tourism with mangrove ecosystem conservation and local economic empowerment through homestays, tour guides, and environmentally-based products. This study evaluates the effectiveness of eco-friendly training for 30 local MSMEs using participatory methods with pre-test and post-test instruments. Results indicate significant improvements across ten indicators (25%-56%), notably in production waste management (56%) and consumer awareness of eco-friendly products (45%). The training successfully catalyzed behavioral transformation toward sustainable business practices, yielding dual impacts on ecosystem preservation and MSME economic competitiveness. Findings demonstrate that structured capacity-building programs can drive collective environmental awareness while strengthening local economies. Recommendations include developing advanced training modules, fostering multi-sector collaboration, and establishing incentive systems for MSMEs consistently implementing eco-friendly practices.

Abstract

Background: Cow’s milk allergy is relatively common among Indonesian infantswho are not exclusively breastfed. Despite extensive hydrolyzed formula and aminoacid-based formula are the recommended nutrition for infants with moderate-tosevere illness, not all parents could provide those specialized formulas, presumablydue to the high cost, low availability and poor palatability. In that case, soy-basedinfant formula could be an alternative nutrition. However, it was unknown whetherIndonesian mothers were aware on that alternative nutrition. Objective: We therefore assessed the knowledge levels of mothers who participated in an online platform of PrimaKu on the usefulness of soy-based infant formula to support growthand development of children with cow’s milk allergy. Methods: The study subjectsappeared to have sufficient levels of knowledge on the usefulness of soy-based infant formula for children with cow’s milk allergy. Results: In addition, by increasing their knowledge on iron and fiber fortification in soy-based infant formula, e.g.,through regular academic presentations, mothers could be more selective in choosing alternative nutrition for children with cow’s milk allergy. Conclusion: Our studysuggested that Indonesian mothers who were active in the online platform of Primaku had sufficient levels of knowledge on the usefulness of soy-based protein formanaging children with cow’s milk allergy.
