Abstract

Indonesia's extraodinary plant biodiversity remains underutilised in microbial bioprospecting, despite its vast potential to support sustainable biotechnological innovation. This study aims to explore and characterise endophytic microorganisms associated with selected Indonesian medicinal plants, focusing on their genetic and functional traits relevant to bioactive compound production. Addressing a gap in integrative profiling, the study adopts a qualitative literature-based methodology, synthesising findings from over 30 peer-reviewed, Scopus-indexed studies published between 2015 and 2024. These studies involve next-generation sequencing, biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) analysis, and in vitro functional assays. Notably, endophytes isolated from plants such as Curcuma longa, Andrographis paniculata, and Phyllanthus niruri harbour diverse and unique BGCs, including non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) and polyketide synthases (PKS), which are linked to antimicrobial, enzymatic, and plant growth-promoting activities. The originality of this study lies in its interdisciplinary synthesis bridging microbial ecology, genomics, and biotechnology, contributing to the theoretical advancement of microbial symbiosis and offering practical implications for natural product development, sustainable agriculture, and Indonesia's emerging bioeconomy

Abstract

This study examines the role of community participation in mangrove forest conservation in Kaimana Regency, West Papua, using a qualitative approach with five key informants, including local residents, community leaders, and environmental activists. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observations, then analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that community participation is central to mangrove conservation, manifested in activities such as planting, monitoring, and protecting mangroves from exploitation. Local wisdom and traditional norms, rooted in indigenous culture, serve as guiding principles that reinforce compliance and foster a collective sense of ownership. Nevertheless, challenges such as limited financial resources, lack of technical expertise, and external pressures from aquaculture and coastal development threaten the sustainability of these initiatives. Collaboration with NGOs, universities, and government agencies has strengthened local capacity, yet policy support remains inconsistent. This study concludes that integrating local wisdom, empowering communities, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration are essential strategies for effective and sustainable mangrove management in West Papua.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) in improving household food security in Indonesia using a quantitative approach. A total of 70 farming households were surveyed through structured questionnaires, with responses measured on a Likert scale (1–5). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, including descriptive statistics, reliability and validity testing, correlation, and regression analysis. The results show that IFS significantly and positively influence household food security, with the strongest effects observed on food availability and food accessibility, followed by food utilization and stability. Regression analysis confirmed that IFS explained 41.3% of the variance in household food security (β = 0.642, p < 0.001). These findings highlight that IFS not only increase food production and income but also contribute to dietary diversity and resilience against external shocks. The study concludes that integrated farming is an effective strategy to strengthen rural household food security and supports Indonesia’s broader goal of achieving sustainable food sovereignty.

Abstract

The Citarum River Basin is one of Indonesia’s most vital water sources, yet it faces severe degradation due to pollution, rapid industrialization, and unsustainable practices. This study explores water resource management strategies in the Citarum River Basin using a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with three key informants: a government representative, a community leader, and an environmental activist. The findings reveal that effective water management requires integrated efforts involving regulatory enforcement, community participation, and environmental advocacy. While government programs such as the Citarum Harum Program provide a framework for restoration, weak law enforcement and limited stakeholder coordination hinder progress. Communities demonstrate willingness to participate but face resource and knowledge constraints, whereas civil society organizations play a vital role in advocacy and awareness-raising. The study concludes that sustainable management of the Citarum River demands multi-stakeholder collaboration, strong governance, and inclusive participation to balance ecological, social, and economic needs.
