Abstract

The increasing consumption needs of society have led to a rise in food demand, which continues to grow along with the population increase. Every year, the government implements various efforts to meet these growing consumption demands. Using alternative food sources can meet the public's dietary needs. One such alternative is microalgae, which is considered a promising food source. However, it is still relatively unfamiliar to the public, necessitating strategies to raise awareness about this ingredient. Several factors can influence customer attitudes, making them more open to trying new things, thereby positively affecting consumer willingness to try microalgae as an alternative food source. This study aims to investigate the influence of environmental concerns, health interests, food neophobia, and knowledge on consumer attitudes toward trying microalgae as a preferred alternative protein source. It also examines whether consumer attitudes influence willingness to try microalgae moderated by self-efficacy. The research employed a quantitative approach, with a sample size of 400 respondents determined using multistage sampling. Primary data were collected through a closed questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistical analysis and SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square) with the WarpPLS 8.0 software. The results indicate that environmental concern, health interest, and knowledge have positive and significant effects on consumer attitudes, while neophobia has a negative and insignificant effect. Furthermore, consumer attitudes influenced willingness to try, with self-efficacy strengthening the relationship between attitudes and willingness to try microalgae as a preferred alternative protein source.

Abstract

The palm breeding and cultivation challenges are mainly related to the seed germination process. Various factors, including seed dormancy, often influence this process. Various scarification methods and several types of palms that can play a role in breaking dormancy need to be tried. This research aims to determine the best dormancy-breaking scarification method for various palm seeds. This research was carried out in Bakung Village, Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, from January to March 2024, using a Nested Design comprising two factors. The first factor is that the type of palm seed consists of four levels: Putri palm, Pinang palm, Squirrel Tail palm, and Green palm. The second factor consists of six levels, namely control method (without peeling), peel scarification method, peel scarification method+warm water, peel scarification method+H2SO4, peel scarification method+KNO3, peel scarification method+GA3. The results of the research showed that the scarification method had a significant effect (p<0,05) on the percentage of sprouts and shoot length. Very significant effect (p<0,01) on the variables of germination, maximum growth potential, seed growth speed, and root length, had an not significant effect on the synchronization of seed growth. This research concludes that the scarification method affects breaking seed dormancy in several types of palm, except for the areca palm.

Abstract

The growing trend of healthier eating habits, driven by increasing health awareness, presents a business opportunity for SMEs in the healthy food sector. This study investigates consumer preferences, attribute importance, and willingness to pay for vegetable salads in Malang, using a discrete choice experiment with a conditional logit model. A survey of 150 respondents who had purchased and consumed vegetable salads was conducted, analyzing key attributes, including health, mood, convenience, sensory appeal, natural content, and price, adapted from the food choice questionnaire and processed using R-Studio software. The findings indicate that consumers prefer vegetable salads that are high in fiber, free of additives, available in nearby shops, relaxing when consumed, and have a good taste. The ranking of attributes is important in purchasing decisions, as it follows the order of health, natural content, convenience, mood, and sensory appeal. Consumers' willingness to pay shows that they are willing to pay IDR 10,416 for "simple to make," IDR 19,410 for "ready in no time," IDR 11,549 for "contain natural ingredients," IDR 2,101 for "make them feel good when consumed," IDR 24,287 for "smell nice," and IDR 26,334 for "look good." These findings provide essential implications for SMEs, guiding product development towards fiber-rich and additive-free vegetable salads with appealing sensory attributes and easy preparation. Additionally, marketing strategies should emphasize health benefits, natural ingredients, and convenience while leveraging sensory appeal to attract a broader audience. Pricing strategies should reflect the premium consumers are willing to pay, and distribution channels should ensure accessibility. By aligning product offerings with consumer preferences and understanding their willingness to pay, SMEs can enhance their competitiveness and achieve sustainable growth in the expanding healthy food market.

Abstract

Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) or Village-Owned Enterprises (VOEs) play an essential role in developing the rural economy. Unfortunately, there are numerous hurdles that VOEs must overcome, therefore many do not perform optimally. This study aims to examine how internal and external factors affect VOE performance in the agricultural and tourism sectors to boost rural economic development. Alternative solutions are then presented to improve VOE's performance. The study employs two samples: one VOE focuses on agriculture and the other on tourism. Observation, in-depth interviews, and a literature review were used to collect data, which was then evaluated using A'SWOT (AHP and SWOT). The findings demonstrate that both industries face infrastructure restrictions, market competitiveness, and poor branding. For agricultural VOEs, incorporating digital marketing to increase market reach, fortifying branding, and growing distribution networks are important tactics. Meanwhile, tourism VOEs should prioritize branding to boost destination appeal and infrastructure development to improve accessibility. Strengthening local branding through a compelling narrative and utilizing technology-driven marketing are critical for competitiveness. By implementing these strategies, VOEs can improve sustainability, attract a wider market, and support rural economic growth. Integrating branding, digital marketing, and infrastructure development ensures adaptability in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Abstract

This study was designed to reevaluate the adjustment of land suitability classes. This study was conducted in North Sumatra Province, precisely in 4 regencies, namely Simalungun, Langkat, Deli Serdang, and Serdang Bedagai Regencies. The study used land suitability classes. Related to rooting media and nutrient retention parameters, the results of a semi-detailed land suitability study for soybean plants in Deli Serdang, Serdang Bedagai, and Langkat Regencies showed that the land was only marginally suitable (S3 rc, nr). In Simalungun Regency, efforts were made to increase the suitability of potential land to a marginally suitable class with the rooting media factor (S3 rc) and the water availability and nutrient retention factor (S3 wa, nr). This was done by attempting to increase the adaptability of potential land to a marginal suitability class with a water availability factor (S3 wa). The land suitability class in the research area for soybean plants includes the marginal suitability class (S3), so planting soybean commodities results in less than maximum production with limiting factors of rainfall and nutrition retention. To improve nutrient retention by adding organic materials, the limiting factor of rainfall is relatively high by creating drainage channels.

Abstract

The advent of digital technologies has significantly impacted various sectors, including agriculture. The study addresses the impact of e-service quality on digital farming application adoption, which is crucial for agricultural transformation. Utilizing a Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis through SmartPLS, we examined constructs such as Efficiency, System Availability, Fulfillment, Privacy, User Satisfaction, and User Loyalty. The research was conducted from March to April 2024 with 124 smallholder farmers as respondents, using a purposive sampling technique. The analysis revealed that Efficiency increases user satisfaction by 40%, while System Availability enhances it by 44.3%, ultimately increasing loyalty by 84.5%. Privacy also positively impacts User Satisfaction, albeit marginally. These results underscore the importance of high e-service quality in fostering user satisfaction and long-term loyalty. This study recommends that developers improve system reliability, enhance efficiency with AI-driven support, and strengthen data security measures. Policymakers should support digital literacy programs and foster public-private partnerships to encourage wider adoption of digital technologies. These steps can improve user engagement, retention, and long-term success of digital farming applications. This study highlights the potential of digital farming applications to transform agriculture by promoting sustainable practices and improving farmer livelihoods through enhanced user satisfaction and loyalty.
