Abstract

Climate change threats to food security, because it decreases agricultural productivity. C. indica L can adapt to environment and produce white and red rhizomes. Dominant content both of rhizomes are carbohydrates which increase protein as nutrition by adding S platensis. The research aims to determine potential of composite flour of C. indica L and S. platensis as alternative healthy foodstuff for food security. The method consists of formulation composite flour, proximate tests, determining amino and fatty acids, in vitro growth tests of Lactobacillus, cookies and meatball formulations. The result showed composite flour from red rhizome (RRCS) contains 11% water, 21.745% protein, 0.5% lipid, 9.99% dietary fiber, 57.81% carbohydrates, and 8.94% ash.  While white rhizome (WRCS) contains, 8.75% water, 17.41 protein, 0.29% lipid, 9.54% dietary fiber, 67.601% carbohydrates and 5.94% ash. Amino and fatty acid appears in both composite flours were similar, except proline and oleic acid higher in RRCS.  Lignoceric founded only in WRCS. In vitro test showed Lactobacillus (BAL) grew on modified MRSA from RRCS and WRCS. Both of composite flour processed into marketable cookies and meatballs formulations. Based on the result, C. indica L and S. platensis composite flour can be used as alternative food for food security.

Abstract

Population increase has an impact on the procurement of food sources. Pakcoy is a vegetable that is in increasing demand. Farmers' response to this condition is to use excessive fertilizer and pesticides, thereby reducing soil fertility. The research aims to obtain a combination of fertilizer and humic acid, which is effective in cultivating B. rappa chinesis L., as well as soil conservation efforts. The methodology was experimental with Randomized Block Design (RBD) on four treatments, K, P1, P2, and P3. The dose of K was 150 g/5 m2, NPK 16:16:16, 1 kg/5 m2 dolomite, and 5 kg/5 m2 manure. The P1 treatment is the same as K but without NPK fertilizer. P2 and P3 treatments were reduced by 50% and 70% of NPK fertilizer, respectively, with the addition of humic acid. The research results show that P2 with local environmental conditions provides optimal results in terms of chlorophyll, stomata, and plant height. Soil fertility was shown by increasing pH to 6.6, K 281 ppm and P 509 ppm, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) 31.60 cmolc/kg, soil enzymes of 0.12 mg FDA g-1 soil d.w. h-1, an average number of earthworms of 17. The conclusion is that P2 fertilizer formulation can be applied to cultures as an anticipation of food security.

Abstract

As one of the world's largest coffee producers, Indonesia faces a new challenge with the enactment of the EU Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR) by the European Union, a vital export market. This regulation requires that coffee products entering the EU market must be proven not to originate from land deforested after December 31, 2020. The objective of this article is to conduct an in- depth analysis of the EUDR's impact on the Indonesian coffee supply chain, evaluate the readiness of existing national policies, and identify policy responses that have been and need to be implemented. This study employs a qualitative method using a policy analysis approach and a comprehensive literature review of regulatory documents, government reports, and scientific publications. The results indicate significant challenges, particularly for millions of smallholder farmers, which include the obligation to provide geolocation data, fulfill due diligence requirements, and prove land legality, which is often undocumented. A gap was found between Indonesia's existing sustainable coffee management policies and the stringent requirements of the EUDR, especially concerning farm-level traceability. Although the Indonesian government has initiated several responsive measures, such as establishing a task force and diplomatic efforts, an acceleration in the development of an integrated and inclusive national traceability system is necessary. This article concludes that the EUDR, while a potential trade barrier, can also function as a catalyst to accelerate governance reforms in Indonesia's coffee sector towards more verifiable sustainability. Strategic policy implications are emphasized on strengthening farmer capacity, harmonizing regulations, and utilizing digital technology to ensure Indonesian coffee remains competitive in the global market.

Abstract

Stunting is a major public health challenge in Timor Tengah Selatan Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia due to ecological limitations and food insecurity that affect child nutritional status. This study analyzes the relationship between environmental carrying capacity, land-use suitability, and local food diversification as strategies to reduce stunting in Pana Village, Kolbano District, East Nusa Tenggara. The results showed that Pana Village experiences ecological constraints, including steep slopes, prolonged dry seasons, limited productive land, and varying soil quality. These conditions reduce agricultural productivity and limiting access to various nutritious food sources, contributing to chronic malnutrition. The study highlights the importance of integrating environmental management with nutrition-based strategies. Recommended interventions include conservation-based agriculture, community micro-irrigation systems, strengthening local institutions capacity, and the development of drought-resistant local crops. This integrated approach is essential to improve food security and child nutrition. This concludes that stunting reduction in Pana Village, Timor Tengah Selatan Regency requires synergy between ecological sustainability, agricultural resilience, and community-based nutrition programs.

Abstract

Air pollution around Benda Sub-district, Tangerang has become a critical environmental issue due to the high intensity of traffic transportation and industrial activities that contribute to the emission of harmful gases. Prolonged exposure to air pollutants poses significant health risks, including adverse effects on the human immune system, particularly for communities residing. This study aims to examine the immune response, specifically leukocyte differentials (neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, lymphocytes) and C-Reactive Protein in individuals aged 25–35 years living in densely populated settlements. A cross-sectional approach was employed involving 24 volunteer participants, accompanied by air quality measurements at the sampling location, including TSP, SO₂, NO₂, Pb, CO, Ox, NMHC, PM₁₀, and PM₂.₅. The results highlighted the high MCV levels in all participants could causing the basic inflammatory response in the body. Furthermore, this study revealed that air pollution exposure indirectly affects the immune system.
