Abstract

This study investigates the utilization of smart agricultural technologies to improve resource efficiency in the agro-industry, using a quantitative approach with a focus on Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis. A survey of 250 agro-industry stakeholders produced descriptive statistics showing a high mean adoption score (4.2) and a significant frequency of adoption (75%). Resource efficiency indicators, including average water use (32.5 gallons per hectare), average energy consumption (15.8 kWh per hectare), and average crop yield (2,800 kg per hectare), were also assessed. The SEM-PLS results showed strong reliability and validity of the measurement model, with positive path coefficients indicating substantial impacts of smart technology adoption on water use efficiency, energy consumption optimization, and crop yield. The model showed a satisfactory fit, and bootstrapping confirmed the robustness of the relationships. The discussion highlights practical implications for farmers, policymakers, and technology providers, emphasizing the potential for increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved yields through the adoption of smart technologies. This study contributes valuable insights to the discourse of sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract

This research investigates the intricate relationships between Mangrove Ecosystems, the Number of Plants within these ecosystems, and their collective impact on Air Pollution Reduction. Employing a structural equation model, the study explores the quantitative dynamics across diverse mangrove ecosystems globally. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between Mangrove Ecosystems and Air Pollution Reduction, emphasizing the pivotal role of mangroves as biofilters. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of vegetation density, with a higher Number of Plants correlating with a meaningful reduction in air pollution. The global implications underscore the applicability of mangrove-mediated air pollution reduction across diverse geographical contexts. The results provide valuable insights for policymakers, environmental managers, and conservationists, advocating for the conservation and restoration of mangrove habitats as an effective and sustainable strategy for mitigating the adverse effects of air pollution.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis aimed at mapping the progress and direction of sustainable agriculture research in Indonesia. With a focus on addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges while ensuring food security and agricultural productivity, sustainable agriculture has emerged as a critical area of focus globally. In Indonesia, a country rich in agricultural diversity and natural resources, sustainable agricultural practices are paramount to mitigate the impact of climate change, preserve biodiversity, and enhance the livelihoods of farmers and rural communities. Through systematic collection and analysis of relevant publications from academic databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, this study identifies key thematic areas, trends, collaboration networks among researchers, and potential research gaps within sustainable agriculture research in Indonesia. The analysis spans from 1982 to 2023, covering a wide range of topics such as agroecology, organic farming, precision agriculture, and sustainable resource management. Results reveal a significant impact of Indonesian research contributions, highlighting collaborative efforts and interdisciplinary approaches towards addressing complex agricultural sustainability challenges. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders to prioritize areas for further development, formulate evidence-based policies, and foster interdisciplinary partnerships in promoting sustainable agricultural practices in Indonesia.
