Abstract

This study investigates the interrelationships among Ethnoecological Knowledge, Climate Adaptation Strategies, and Farmer Innovation in fostering Sustainable Agriculture in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 150 smallholder farmers across Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi through structured questionnaires measured on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS 3) to test the direct, indirect, and mediating relationships among the constructs. The findings reveal that ethnoecological knowledge significantly enhances both climate adaptation and farmer innovation, indicating that traditional ecological wisdom remains a critical foundation for modern sustainability practices. Climate adaptation strategies have a dual role—directly strengthening sustainability and indirectly fostering innovation. Furthermore, farmer innovation mediates the relationship between traditional knowledge and sustainability, serving as a transformational bridge from cultural heritage to adaptive modernization. The model explains 69% of the variance in sustainable agriculture, confirming its strong predictive power. The study provides theoretical contributions by integrating the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) and offers practical recommendations for policymakers to strengthen local wisdom, participatory innovation, and adaptive learning in rural development. These findings underscore that Indonesia’s agricultural transformation depends not on abandoning tradition, but on revitalizing it through innovation-driven adaptation toward sustainability.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting and digital technology in enhancing financial transparency and strengthening the environmental reputation of Indonesian corporations. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 85 corporate respondents through a structured questionnaire employing a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 with multiple regression and mediation analysis techniques. The results indicate that ESG reporting has a significant positive effect on financial transparency and environmental reputation. Digital technology adoption also significantly improves financial transparency and environmental reputation. Furthermore, financial transparency is found to partially mediate the relationship between ESG reporting and environmental reputation, as well as between digital technology and environmental reputation. These findings demonstrate that ESG reporting and digital technology function as complementary mechanisms that enhance transparency and reputational outcomes. The study provides empirical evidence supporting the strategic integration of ESG disclosures and digital transformation to promote sustainable, transparent, and reputable corporate practices in emerging economies such as Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has created new opportunities for transforming agricultural systems toward sustainability, particularly in agricultural product sales systems. This study aims to explore the implementation of IoT in sustainable agricultural product sales systems in Indonesia and to understand its economic, environmental, and social implications. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with five key informants representing farmers, agribusiness actors, technology providers, and supporting institutions involved in IoT-based agricultural practices. The findings reveal that IoT implementation supports real-time monitoring of product quality, inventory management, traceability, and sales coordination, which contribute to improved market transparency and efficiency. Economically, IoT helps reduce post-harvest losses, strengthens bargaining positions, and stabilizes income. Environmentally, it supports waste reduction and promotes environmentally responsible sales practices. Socially, IoT enhances trust and collaboration among stakeholders, although challenges related to digital literacy, infrastructure limitations, and investment costs remain significant. Overall, this study demonstrates that IoT has strong potential to support sustainable agricultural product sales systems in Indonesia, provided that its implementation is accompanied by institutional support, capacity building, and inclusive governance mechanisms.

Abstract

The increasing demand for environmentally friendly products reflects growing public awareness of environmental sustainability; however, market expansion of such products remains constrained by accessibility and transaction efficiency. Financial technology (fintech) has emerged as an innovative solution that can support sustainable consumption by facilitating faster, easier, and more secure transactions. This study aims to analyze the role of financial technology in supporting the sales of environmentally friendly products in Yogyakarta. A quantitative research approach was employed using survey data collected from 75 respondents, consisting of consumers and business actors involved in environmentally friendly products. Data were gathered through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The results of simple linear regression analysis indicate that fintech has a positive and significant effect on the sales of environmentally friendly products, with a regression coefficient of 0.643 and a significance value below 0.05. The coefficient of determination shows that fintech explains 40.2% of the variance in sales performance. These findings suggest that fintech enhances transaction convenience, improves market accessibility, and encourages purchasing behavior, thereby supporting the commercialization of environmentally friendly products. The study contributes to the literature on fintech and sustainable consumption and provides practical implications for businesses and policymakers in promoting green products through digital financial innovation.

Abstract

The growing urgency of climate change has intensified scholarly interest in sustainable finance and technological innovation as key mechanisms for climate change mitigation. While research in this area has expanded rapidly across disciplines, the literature remains fragmented, making it difficult to identify dominant themes, influential contributors, and emerging research directions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on sustainable finance and technological innovation for climate change mitigation. Using data retrieved from the Scopus database, this study applies bibliometric techniques to examine publication patterns, citation structures, co-authorship networks, institutional and country collaborations, and keyword co-occurrence relationships. Visualization and mapping analyses were conducted using VOSviewer to reveal the intellectual structure and temporal evolution of the field. The results show that climate change and sustainable development constitute the core research themes, closely linked with green finance, renewable energy, circular economy, and climate policy. Recent trends indicate a growing emphasis on technology-driven approaches, particularly the integration of artificial intelligence and innovation-oriented financial mechanisms. However, research related to developing countries and inclusive climate finance remains relatively underexplored. This study contributes by offering a systematic overview of the knowledge landscape, identifying research gaps, and highlighting future directions for advancing climate change mitigation through sustainable finance and technological innovation.

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of global mortality, with hypercholesterolemia representing a major modifiable risk factor. Growing interest has emerged in plant-based strategies, particularly fruit utilization, as sustainable approaches for cholesterol regulation. This study aimed to systematically review the pharmacological mechanisms of fruit-derived secondary metabolites involved in cholesterol lowering and to explore their relevance within plant-based natural resource management. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines using ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. Evidence from in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrates that various fruits including Gedong Gincu mango, sweet orange, red dragon fruit, buni fruit, Rosa roxburghii, pineapple, Synsepalum dulcificum, mulberry, and Hiyung cayenne pepper contain bioactive secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenolics, anthocyanins, carotenoids, triterpenoids, alkaloids, saponins, dietary fiber, and antioxidant enzymes. These compounds exert cholesterol-lowering effects through multiple pharmacological pathways, including inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and absorption, enhancement of bile acid excretion, modulation of lipid metabolism–related gene expression, and reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation. Several fruit-based interventions showed significant reductions in total cholesterol and LDL levels, with some demonstrating efficacy comparable to conventional hypolipidemic agents. These findings highlight the potential of fruit-based natural resources as functional, sustainable, and scientifically supported strategies for cholesterol regulation and cardiovascular disease prevention.
