Abstract

Agropreneurship, the integration of agriculture and entrepreneurship, has gained significant attention as a means of fostering economic growth, rural development, and sustainable agricultural practices. This study employs a bibliometric analysis to assess the research landscape of agropreneurship, using Scopus as the primary data source and VOSviewer for analytical visualization. The findings reveal key thematic clusters, including innovation, sustainability, policy interventions, and entrepreneurial behaviors, which highlight the multidisciplinary nature of agropreneurship research. The study also identifies emerging trends such as digital agropreneurship, climate-smart agriculture, and financial support mechanisms for smallholder farmers. Despite the growing interest, research fragmentation and the need for greater interdisciplinary collaboration remain challenges. The study concludes that fostering technological integration, strengthening market access, and enhancing policy frameworks are critical to advancing agropreneurship. Future research should focus on addressing these gaps to support sustainable agricultural entrepreneurship and global food security.

Abstract

Building local food security with an ecological approach is vital for ensuring sustainable and resilient food systems, particularly in the face of climate change and socio-economic challenges. This study systematically analyzes 60 peer-reviewed documents from the Scopus database to identify key themes, challenges, and opportunities in this domain. The findings highlight the importance of biodiversity, sustainable land management, governance, and policy support in achieving food security. However, significant barriers such as climate change, socio-economic inequalities, and knowledge gaps impede progress. Emerging technologies, community participation, and targeted policy reforms are identified as pivotal strategies for addressing these challenges. The study concludes that integrating ecological principles into local food systems not only enhances agricultural resilience but also fosters environmental conservation and social equity. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working towards sustainable food security.

Abstract

Agricultural waste is a rich yet underutilized resource for bioactive compounds that have significant potential in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and functional food industries. This study systematically analyzed 23 peer-reviewed articles from the Scopus database to identify the types of bioactive compounds present in agricultural waste, the extraction methods used, their applications, and associated challenges. The findings revealed that phenolics, flavonoids, tannins, carotenoids, and saponins are the most commonly identified bioactive compounds. Advanced extraction techniques such as ultrasound-assisted and supercritical fluid extraction demonstrated superior efficiency compared to conventional methods. Applications of these compounds span health, wellness, and food sectors, supporting sustainable development and the circular economy. However, challenges including high extraction costs, standardization issues, and regulatory hurdles must be addressed to realize their full potential. This study emphasizes the need for further research and collaboration to enhance the valorization of agricultural waste and unlock its economic and environmental benefits.

Abstract

This study examines the role of sustainability-based agroindustry business models in strengthening the local economy in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 100 respondents via a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that environmental sustainability (β = 0.35, p < 0.01), economic viability (β = 0.45, p < 0.01), and social equity (β = 0.28, p < 0.05) significantly contribute to local economic strengthening. The model explains 65% of the variance in the local economy, underscoring the importance of a balanced approach to sustainability. This study highlights the practical and policy implications of adopting sustainable practices in agroindustry, emphasizing the need for stakeholder collaboration, government support, and community engagement to foster economic and environmental resilience.

Abstract

The utilization of natural additives in food processing has gained significant attention due to growing consumer demand for safe, nutritious, and clean-label products. This systematic review analyzed 30 studies from the Scopus database to evaluate the types, functions, and impacts of natural additives on food safety and nutritional value. Findings reveal that plant-based, animal-derived, and microbial-derived additives demonstrate strong antimicrobial, antioxidant, and nutrient-enhancing properties. Natural additives such as polyphenols, essential oils, and bioactive peptides effectively improve product safety by inhibiting microbial growth, reducing oxidation, and mitigating mycotoxins. They also contribute to nutritional fortification and functional health benefits. Despite challenges such as cost, regulatory compliance, and sensory acceptance, the adoption of natural additives presents significant opportunities for sustainable and health-focused food innovation. This review underscores the importance of further research to optimize extraction methods, develop synergistic formulations, and enhance consumer education.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of satellite technology and blockchain platforms in the context of the REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) program of the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru Protection Forest. Through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) spatial analysis and blockchain modeling, the research develops a comprehensive carbon trade marketing model to address monitoring, transparency, and efficiency problems in carbon credit trade. Results indicate that GIS effectively identifies high-priority sites for conservation, while blockchain enables and maximizes carbon credit trade with smart contracts. Stakeholder comments underscore regulatory clarity, public engagement, and technical expertise in ensuring the optimal utilization of the model. The proposed convergence offers a cost-effective, scalable, and open-source solution to complement REDD+ implementation for promoting global efforts toward mitigation of climate change and sustainable development.

Abstract

Digitalization has introduced advanced technologies that can potentially revolutionize carbon trading systems, particularly in REDD+ programs. This study examines the application of satellite and blockchain technologies to enhance REDD+ programs. Satellite technology provides real-time, high-resolution forest imagery, ensuring accurate carbon stock measurement, while blockchain offers secure, transparent, and efficient carbon credit exchange platforms. With a combination of GIS analysis, literature review, and expert interviews, the study proposes an integrated framework that automates Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) processes and prevents fraud in carbon trading. The findings indicate that combining these technologies can significantly enhance REDD+ credibility and scalability, but challenges such as high implementation costs, loopholes in regulations, and technical complexities must be addressed. This research maps the journey towards incorporating emerging digital technologies in climate change mitigation efforts.
