Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the effects of Bokashi organic fertilizer dosage on rice plants' agronomic growth and productivity (Oryza sativa). Using 16 Scopus-indexed articles, the study synthesizes findings on how Bokashi impacts key agronomic parameters such as plant height, tiller number, biomass production, and grain yield. The review highlights that optimal dosages (5–10 tons/ha) consistently improve growth and yield outcomes compared to chemical fertilizers or untreated controls. Bokashi's nutrient-rich composition and ability to enhance soil health and microbial activity make it a sustainable alternative for rice cultivation. However, its effectiveness depends on soil type, environmental conditions, and rice variety. Challenges related to dosage standardization and large-scale implementation are identified, and recommendations for future research are provided. This review underscores the potential of Bokashi in promoting sustainable agriculture while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships among Economic Sustainability, Farmer Empowerment, and Technological Innovation and their collective impact on the Farming Sector in the oil palm plantation context of Kalimantan. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 230 respondents through structured surveys and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal significant positive relationships between all variables, with Technological Innovation showing the strongest influence on the Farming Sector. Farmer Empowerment also emerged as a critical driver, highlighting the importance of capacity-building and participatory decision-making in enhancing agricultural productivity. Economic Sustainability contributes to sectoral growth by stabilizing income and optimizing resource utilization. These results underscore the importance of integrating empowerment, technological advancements, and economic resilience to foster sustainable development in the farming sector. The study provides actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to improve the sustainability and competitiveness of oil palm plantations in Kalimantan.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of sustainable agricultural practices, product diversification, and digital marketing on the economic performance of organic vegetable farmers in Bali. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 210 farmers using a structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that product diversification has the strongest positive influence on economic performance, followed by sustainable agricultural practices and digital marketing. Product diversification enhances income stability and market expansion, while sustainable practices improve cost efficiency and product quality. Digital marketing, although less impactful, provides significant benefits by increasing market reach and customer engagement. These findings highlight the synergistic effects of these strategies in improving the economic resilience of organic farmers. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for farmers, policymakers, and stakeholders to foster sustainable and profitable organic farming.

Abstract

This study examines the role of green finance initiatives in achieving sustainable development within the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Using a normative juridical analysis approach, the research evaluates the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern green finance, exploring their impact on economic growth and environmental sustainability. A comparative analysis reveals significant variations in policy implementation and outcomes among the BRICS nations. The findings highlight that robust legal frameworks and institutional capacities, as seen in China and India, correlate with greater success in integrating green finance into national development strategies. Challenges such as regulatory gaps, enforcement issues, and socio-economic inequalities hinder the broader adoption of green finance initiatives, particularly in Brazil, Russia, and South Africa. The study underscores the importance of tailoring green finance policies to country-specific contexts while fostering global collaboration to align strategies with international sustainability standards. Recommendations are provided to strengthen the efficacy of green finance as a catalyst for sustainable development.

Abstract

This study describes an emerging business model of carbon trade under REDD+ scheme arrangements by employing Artificial Intelligence (AI), satellite, and blockchain technology in the Bromo Tengger Semeru (BTS) forest protected area. An integrated methodology of GIS-based spatial analysis, stakeholder interview (qualitative), and pilot testing on blockchain was utilized for testing the viability of the model. Results indicate that AI and satellite integration improve the accuracy of carbon stock estimates and deforestation monitoring, while blockchain facilitates transparency and trust in carbon credit transactions. The study identifies the primary barriers, such as cost and capacity-building requirements, and also identifies the potential for scalability and consistency with global climate goals. The findings provide actionable suggestions for policymakers, investors, and environmental managers to enhance forest conservation and carbon market efficiency.

Abstract

This study examines a new way of maximizing the carbon trading mechanism under the REDD+ strategy in East Java through a mixture of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain technology, and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis. GIS tools were employed in an effort to establish high-priority zones to prioritize REDD+ intervention, with AI algorithms refining deforestation estimation and carbon stock calculation accuracy. Blockchain technology was applied to facilitate the automation of carbon credit transactions with security, transparency, and trust for stakeholders. The results revealed significant improvement in MRV processes with increased efficiency and stakeholder satisfaction. The study demonstrates the potential of integrating advanced technologies for sustainable forest management and climate change mitigation and presents a scalable model for global REDD+ programs.
