Abstract

Background: Batam City, as an industry and service-based metropolitan area, exhibits high dependence on external food supply, reflected in its agricultural sector's contribution of merely 1.45%. This research aims to analyze the potential and formulate a development strategy for bird's eye chili (Capsicum frutescens) as a leading local commodity in Galang and Nongsa Districts to support food security. Methods: This qualitative research with an intrinsic case study strategy utilized secondary data from the Batam City Central Statistics Agency (2021-2025) and SWOT analysis. Findings: The findings reveal complementary potential between the two districts. Galang, with its eight agriculture-based villages, represents an ideal production base, while Nongsa, adjacent to tourism areas and the airport, has the opportunity to become a marketing and agritourism hub. Conclusion: The local market is highly promising for bird’s eye chili, with household expenditure on vegetables at 3.74% and an educated population supportive of technology adoption. However, key challenges include sharp fluctuations in harvested area, land conversion pressure, and inter-island logistics vulnerability. Novelty/Originality of this article: The effective bird's eye chili development requires an integrated strategy: establishing Galang as a certified production center and Nongsa as an agritourism zone, supported by direct market partnerships, digital technology utilization, and policy protection for sustainable agricultural land. This model offers a concrete pathway for economic diversification and food security in an industrial archipelagic region.

Abstract

Background: The growing global burden of diabetes and the limitations of current treatments require sustainable alternatives. This study aims to evaluate the potential of the weedy genus Oldenlandia as a novel, sustainable resource for diabetes management by synthesizing evidence from agronomy, phytochemistry, and pharmacology. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using major scientific databases. A multidisciplinary search strategy was employed, and the collected data were integrated using narrative synthesis. Findings: The analysis shows that Oldenlandia species are resilient plants requiring low agricultural inputs. They are rich in bioactive compounds like iridoids and flavonoids, and preclinical studies confirm significant antidiabetic effects, including lowered blood glucose and reduced inflammation via mechanisms such as AMPK-NF-κB pathway modulation. Conclusion: Oldenlandia presents a promising and sustainable candidate for developing new antidiabetic therapies, bridging traditional use with scientific validation. Novelty/Originality: This review offers a novel, integrated perspective that simultaneously evaluates the agronomic feasibility and pharmacological potential of a weed for diabetes treatment, a unique approach not commonly found in existing literature.
