Abstract

The primary aim of this research was to evaluate the contribution of irrigation-based initiatives towards ensuring food security. The specific objectives encompassed assessing the role of labor within small-holder irrigation projects in bolstering food security, analyzing the impact of external donor assistance on food security outcomes within these projects, and appraising the extent of governmental backing for small-holder irrigation endeavors in the pursuit of food security goals. Employing a descriptive survey methodology, the study was conducted within various small-holder irrigation projects. The research population consisted of 1303 members affiliated with the irrigation schemes, alongside 12 agricultural officers. Utilizing a simple random sampling technique, two agricultural extension officers were selected from the irrigation schemes, while a stratified sampling approach identified 66 irrigation scheme members for participation in the study. Data collection primarily relied on the administration of questionnaires. Findings revealed that the majority of farmers predominantly relied on their labor or that of family members, with minimal utilization of hired labor observed in small-scale irrigation ventures. Consequently, labor scarcity emerged as a notable challenge within these projects. Furthermore, the study highlighted that a significant proportion of small-holder irrigation initiatives benefited from external donor support. To address labor shortages, the research suggested incentivizing specialized labor while recommending collaborative efforts among farmers to engage specialists in crop management, thereby enhancing crop productivity within the schemes.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of environmentally friendly online food delivery services in tourist destinations, aiming to align with the principles of sustainable tourism. The primary objective is to analyze how tourist values influence their attitudes and purchase intentions toward online food delivery in these destinations. A quantitative research method is employed, utilizing Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to assess the impact of customer value on attitudes and purchase intentions toward Green Online Food Delivery (Green OFD). The study sample comprises 120 tourists with prior experience using online food delivery services during their visits to tourist destinations. The results indicate that the availability of Green OFD, derived from environmentally friendly local products, significantly affects tourists' attitudes and purchase intentions, especially among those who are mindful of sustainability issues. Tourists demonstrate positive attitudes and purchase intentions when they recognize functional, emotional, social, and epistemic values, including the feeling of contributing to environmental conservation by opting for Green OFD. The findings offer theoretical and practical insights for advancing sustainable tourism destination development.

Abstract

This study explores how brand loyalty influences Indonesians' decisions to boycott brands associated with Israel following a significant event in October 2023 that renewed global attention on the Palestine-Israel conflict. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research integrated qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys with 546 respondents, analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that brand loyalty significantly negatively affects boycott behavior, indicating that consumers with high brand loyalty are less likely to engage in boycotts. However, perceived efficacy notably moderates this relationship, as those who believe their boycott actions are effective are more likely to participate in boycotts despite their brand loyalty. In contrast, animosity, subjective norms, and counter-arguments do not significantly impact the connection between brand loyalty and boycott intentions. These findings underscore the intricate interplay between brand loyalty and consumer activism, providing valuable insights for brands addressing ethical dilemmas. To navigate political and social issues effectively, brands should strive for neutrality and uphold ethical practices to mitigate the influence of such issues on consumer behavior.

Abstract

This research explores the influence of packaging design on the purchasing decisions of Generation Z consumers, focusing on dessert snack products. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the extent to which each visual element of a product's packaging influences the purchasing decisions of Generation Z consumers. A further aim is to identify specific preferences for each visual element in food packaging design that Generation Z. favors. In order to achieve these objectives, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with 422 respondents and qualitative interviews with 12 participants, all from Generation Z. The results reveal that visual appeal significantly influences purchasing decisions, primarily through the mediating variable of perceived quality. Individual elements such as appealing color combinations and unique typography enhance perceived quality, driving purchasing decisions. Illustrations on the packaging also significantly impact purchase decisions. The choice of packaging material, especially eco-friendly options, positively affects perceived quality, while the shape and size of packaging influence perceptions of practicality and quality. While some visual elements, like product photography and shape, show small influences and do not directly influence purchase decisions, they contribute to the packaging's overall attractiveness and perceived quality. These findings suggest that effective packaging design tailored to the visual preferences of Generation Z can enhance the marketability of dessert snack products. However, the study has limitations, including its focus on a specific product category and demographic group, which may not generalize to other contexts. Future research could explore the influence of packaging design on different consumer groups and product categories. The study provides insights for marketers and designers aiming to capture the attention of Generation Z consumers through strategic packaging design.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of product quality, product attributes, and belief systems on purchasing intentions for Mengasihi breast milk powder manufacturing services. The research utilized an online survey to gather data from 284 mothers residing in the Greater Bandung and Jabodetabek regions. Participants were selected based on their familiarity with powdered breast milk and their status as parents. The data was analyzed using Path Analysis to understand the relationships between the variables. The findings demonstrate that both the quality and attributes of powdered breast milk products significantly influence consumer purchasing intentions. These effects are observed both directly and indirectly through the mediation of consumer belief systems. Specifically, product quality and attributes positively affect purchasing intentions by enhancing perceived value and satisfaction. However, the belief system was found to have the most substantial impact on purchasing intentions. This suggests that consumers' pre-existing beliefs and values play a crucial role in shaping their decisions regarding breast milk powder. The study highlights the importance of understanding consumer belief systems in the context of marketing strategies. For Mengasihi, these insights suggest that improving product quality and clearly communicating product attributes can enhance consumer perceptions and intentions. Additionally, addressing and aligning with consumer belief systems is essential for building trust and increasing brand loyalty. By focusing on these areas, Mengasihi can develop more effective marketing strategies to enhance consumer awareness and strengthen its market position.
