<![CDATA[Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining the integrity of its halal meat supply chain, particularly in terms of hygiene standards, animal welfare, the limited number of certified halal slaughterers (juleha), as well as weak supervision and traceability systems. This study employs a conceptual narrative literature review approach with interpretative synthesis to examine the strategic role of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) within the halal ecosystem. The findings identify two main contributions. First, the development of a halal vocation framework through the integration of Islamic jurisprudence education and the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) to produce certified halal slaughterers with both technical competence and Sharia compliance. Second, the construction of a pesantren-based slaughterhouse business model that incorporates hygienic standards, production zoning, traceability systems, and value-based religious supervision. The integration of these approaches enhances the availability of meat that meets the Safe, Healthy, Whole, and Halal (ASUH) standards while promoting community-based economic empowerment. The novelty of this study lies in positioning pesantren as end-to-end actors within the halal supply chain through a community-based governance approach. Theoretically, this study extends the halal supply chain paradigm into a more integrative and value-based framework, while practically offering an operational model for strengthening the national halal ecosystem through pesantren empowerment.]]>
