Abstract

Utilizing technologies for processing fruits and vegetables is crucial for tackling major issues with contemporary food systems. In the supply chain for fruits and vegetables, this research examines the diverse effects of processing methods on sustainability, waste reduction, and nutritional improvement. Our study employs a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative information from expert interviews with quantitative data analysis from 150 samples to provide a thorough evaluation of this topic. The results show that processing technologies have a considerable impact on waste reduction, energy conservation, and resource efficiency. These technologies are also crucial for extending product shelf life and raising marketable yield, which decreases food waste. Although some nutrients are lost during processing, cutting-edge methods have been shown to increase nutrient retention. This study not only clarifies the intricate relationships that exist between processing technologies and sustainability, but it also offers a foundation for future research in this vital area. The lessons learned from this study have significant significance for the creation of sustainable and nutrient-dense food systems as we struggle with the urgent challenge of feeding a growing global population while protecting the environment and enhancing nutrition.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of food packaging innovations on shelf life extension and food waste reduction within a leading Indonesian food company. Employing a quantitative approach, the study incorporates a diverse sample of products subjected to various packaging technologies. Descriptive and inferential statistics reveal a statistically significant increase in shelf life by 50% and a substantial reduction in food waste by 40%. Consumer surveys underscore positive perceptions, with 80% expressing a preference for sustainable packaging. Economically, a 15% reduction in costs associated with product losses supports the business case for innovative packaging. These findings contribute empirical evidence to the discourse on sustainable food systems, emphasizing the practical effectiveness and economic viability of advanced packaging technologies.

Abstract

This research investigates the intricate interplay of Waste Management Technology, Recycling Policy, and Community Participation in East Java, aiming to discern their collective impact on Waste Generation Reduction. A diverse sample of 250 respondents was analyzed demographically, and their responses were subjected to a rigorous quantitative analysis, employing Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results affirm the validity of the measurement model, establish discriminant validity, and reveal robust structural relationships. Management Technology, Recycling Policy, and Community Participation demonstrate positive and significant associations with Waste Generation Reduction, underscoring the need for a multifaceted approach to sustainable waste management. The study enhances our understanding of waste dynamics in East Java and provides actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners to formulate targeted interventions.

Abstract

Background. The thesis focuses on community service (PkM) conducted by the Ministry of Health Poltekkes institutionally, specifically in the village of Kota Lama II, Secanggang District, Langkat Regency. The study addresses the inadequate access to clean water and poor sanitation conditions in Mr. Mujadi's house, which is among the families included in the PKH (Program Keluarga Harapan) - a conditional cash transfer program in Indonesia. Purpose. The purpose of this community service project is to improve the living conditions of Mr. Mujadi's household by addressing their water and sanitation issues. The project aims to apply science, technology, and art (IPTEKS) through a direct scientific approach to provide sustainable access to clean water and improve sanitation facilities. Method. The objective of this qualitative research is to explore and understand the application of appropriate technology for clean water supply in Kota Lama II Village, Secanggang District, Langkat Regency. The study aims to gain in-depth insights into the experiences, perceptions, and challenges related to the use of appropriate technology for clean water. Results. The results obtained at the end of community service activities in Kota Lama Village II, Secanggang District, Langkat Regency, were built 1 unit of Infiltration galleries. The implementation stages include the initial survey, making Infiltration galleries, compiling filter media, and socializing about clean water and operations and maintenance of Infiltration galleries. Conclusion. Well, water filtered from wells using Infiltration galleries looks clearer and cleaner, odorless and tasteless. This has met the requirements for clean water physically and has met the sanitation aspect.

Abstract

This study explores the determinants of social and environmental sustainability in new business initiation in Indonesia using qualitative analysis based on insights from five informants, including entrepreneurs, policymakers, and environmental experts. Four key dimensions—stakeholder engagement, regulatory frameworks, cultural values, and resource availability—emerged as critical to sustainability practices. Findings highlight that effective stakeholder engagement fosters trust and accountability, cultural values such as gotong royong align with sustainability principles, and regulatory frameworks offer guidance but face enforcement challenges. Limited access to financial and technological resources remains a significant barrier. The interplay of these determinants underscores the need for integrated strategies to promote sustainability in Indonesian start-ups. The study contributes to understanding how local context shapes sustainable entrepreneurship and offers actionable insights for policymakers and entrepreneurs.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric review of the scholarly literature on renewable energy financing and its link to sustainable development. Utilizing data from the Scopus database and analyzed through VOSviewer, the study maps thematic clusters, keyword co-occurrences, author collaborations, and country-level partnerships from 2000 to 2024. The findings reveal that "sustainable development" serves as the conceptual core of this research domain, closely associated with terms such as "green finance," "energy efficiency," and "climate change." Recent trends indicate a growing scholarly focus on financial instruments like green bonds and the broader policy landscape of energy transition. Co-authorship and country collaboration networks demonstrate strong regional concentrations, with China, the United States, and India emerging as key contributors. While the literature is rich in financial and technological insights, gaps remain in addressing social equity, regional financing models, and the integration of digital finance. This study contributes to the literature by offering a systematic overview of research developments, identifying influential contributors, and suggesting future directions for interdisciplinary inquiry into sustainable energy finance.
