Abstract

Background. Environmental sustainability has become a pressing global issue, demanding innovative educational interventions that directly engage communities. Project-Based Service Learning (PBSL) integrates academic learning with community service, fostering mutual growth and empowerment. Purpose. This study investigates the effect of PBSL on community empowerment within the context of sustainable environmental management. The objective is to assess how active participation in student-led environmental projects enhances local communities’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding sustainable development. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research involved quasi-experimental design and participatory observation in three rural villages. Method. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-tests, while qualitative data came from focus group discussions and stakeholder interviews. Results. The results indicate significant improvements in environmental awareness, collaborative problem-solving skills, and long-term community engagement. Furthermore, communities reported an increased capacity to manage environmental resources independently. Conclusion. In conclusion, PBSL not only serves as an effective pedagogical strategy but also empowers communities to take ownership of sustainable practices. The findings contribute to the growing literature on experiential learning and its transformative impact on society.

Abstract

The study discusses the role of blockchain technology in ensuring food safety in Sweden, with a focus on improving supply chain traceability and transparency. The research aims to identify the extent to which blockchain can improve food safety as well as overcome adoption constraints across companies of various sizes. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through interviews and analysis of case studies from food companies. The results show that blockchain is able to improve operational efficiency and regulatory compliance, especially in large enterprises, while small companies face cost constraints and access to technology. The conclusion of the study confirms that blockchain can be a strategic solution for better food security, with the implication that regulatory support and incentives are needed to expand the adoption of this technology in small and medium-sized enterprises.
