Abstract

Background: Rainfall and temperature variability are a threat to sustainable agricultural production in Malawi. Main crops which include rice are highly affected due to climate variability since this crop is grown during wet season. A study was therefore conducted in one EPA named Mitole in Chikwawa district in southern Malawi to determine the impacts of precipitation and temperature variability on rice production. Method: Secondary data of climate variables and rice data was used for a period of 16 years which was obtained from Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services (DCCMS) in Blantyre and Mitole EPA in Chikwawa respectively. Before data analysis data quality control was done where  outliers  were  manually  corrected  and  also  errors  were  corrected  using homogeneity test in which single mass curve for each data were plotted. In data analyses; excel and R was used to do trend analysis. Mann Kendall test was used to test if there were significant trend of data or not. To determine the relationship between climate parameters and rice production correlation analysis tested. Regression analysis was also used to predict the results if the climate variables keep varying. Findings: The results showed that only minimum temperature had a negative significant trend and other variables had trends   which   were   not   significant.   Correlation   analysis   showed   non-significant relationship between climate parameters and rice production and also the results of regression analysis had non-significant relation therefore there was enough evidence to predict the results in future. Conclusion: Since the results did not provide enough evidence that climate variables specifically rainfall and temperature affect rice production in the area, it was recommended that more research must be done to discover the way farmers must follow to maximize the production.  Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides concrete data on the impacts of climate variability on rice production in southern Malawi, which farmers and policymakers can use to develop more effective agricultural adaptation strategies in the region.

Abstract

Background: Development involves conscious efforts and activities aimed at achieving positive change within a community. It requires the participation of all societal layers, with the government acting as a facilitator and guide. The government and the community must work harmoniously to achieve the desired goals. National agricultural development often focuses on villages close to municipalities, benefiting from hierarchical governance and advanced rural agricultural practices. This development can progress with political support, as outlined in Law Number 6 of 2014 on Villages, which aims to improve welfare, enhance human resources, and reduce rural poverty through sustainable management of local resources and the environment. This study aims to understand the potential and issues facing Ngringo Village, analyze the structural transformations, examine the institutional changes, assess the technology transfer, and identify a suitable agricultural development model. Methods: The research employs qualitative methods, including field observations, interviews with key informants, and analysis of secondary data from relevant literature and official documents. Findings: The results indicate that Ngringo Village has significant potential due to its strategic location and developed infrastructure. However, challenges such as reduced agricultural land and a shift in economic activities from agriculture to industrial sectors are evident. Institutional support through local farmer groups and technology adoption has been crucial in addressing some of these challenges. Conclusion: In conclusion, while Ngringo Village faces challenges due to rapid structural changes and urbanization, the village has managed to sustain its agricultural practices through effective institutional support and technology transfer. The study suggests that a location-based development model, considering both agricultural and non-agricultural factors, is essential for the sustainable development of Ngringo Village. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study produces a location-based agricultural development model that considers both agricultural and non-agricultural factors, providing practical guidance for local governments in planning sustainable development in villages facing rapid urbanization, such as Ngringo Village.

Abstract

Background: Organic products in Indonesia represent 0.03% of global demand. Health problems are one of the causes of increasing consumer awareness in the world to maintain health and reduce environmental impact. The organic market is growing, but obstacles awareness still prevents it. The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of health consciousness, perceived quality, and environmental awareness of organic food in Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative method was used and the data acquired through Google form. The research design method by conducting online questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed online for those who intend to purchase organic food in Indonesia. The total respondents in this research are 180. The data analysis design used in this research is Partial Least Square-based Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using Smart-PLS, starting from the measurement of outer model, inner model, and hypothesis testing. Result: This study has 7 hypotheses and the results showed that health consciousness, perceived quality, directly influencing purchase decision and indirectly mediated by purchase intention. Conclusion: However, environmental awareness has no direct and indirect influence on consumer purchase decisions of organic food in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has pledged to reach its Net Zero Emission target by 2060, necessitating the shift to renewable energy sources. To achieve this, Indonesia must transition from its current reliance on fossil fuel power plants to renewable energy generators, ensuring the same or greater electricity capacity. One viable renewable energy source is organic waste. This study aims to explore strategies for developing organic waste as an alternative energy source to bolster Indonesia's energy resilience and environmental sustainability. Method: The research employs a qualitative approach, including literature reviews and qualitative descriptive analysis. Findings: Waste to Energy (WtE) processes convert waste into electricity and/or heat, aiding in greenhouse gas reduction, improving waste management efficiency, and supporting sustainable development. WtE technologies can utilize both thermochemical and biochemical methods to convert waste into energy. The Indonesian government is known to have 12 projects to accelerate the installation of Waste Processing into Electrical Energy, both the Waste Power Plants that have been in operation and under construction and using gasification as the method. The development of WtE faces various challenges ranging from completeness and consistency of regulations, high tipping fees, complex cooperation mechanisms and business models, problems with the characteristics and nature of Indonesian waste that need special handling, and rejection from residents. Conclusion: Strategies that can be implemented in developing WtE in Indonesia include drafting policies and regulations, increasing public awareness, collaboration with the private sector, choosing the right technology, developing infrastructure, increasing the efficiency of waste collection, and international partnerships.  Novelty/Originality of this study: This research offers concrete strategies to develop Waste to Energy (WtE) technology in Indonesia, including policy formulation, increasing public awareness, and collaboration with the private sector to utilize organic waste as a renewable energy source to support the 2060 Net Zero Emission target.
