Abstract

Integrated ruminant feeding systems utilizing agro-industrial by-products offer a sustainable solution to feed constraints in tropical livestock production. This study evaluated the physical quality and fermentation characteristics of elephant grass–based complete feed silage formulated with different proportions of tofu by-product and rice bran. A completely randomized design with four silage formulations was applied. Silage was anaerobically fermented for 21 days and assessed for organoleptic properties (aroma, color, texture, and fungal growth) and pH value. The results showed that silage formulation did not significantly affect aroma, texture, or pH (P>0.05), with all treatments exhibiting characteristics of good-quality silage, including a pleasant acidic aroma, compact texture, and acceptable pH values ranging from 3.93 to 4.50. In contrast, fungal growth and color were significantly influenced by treatment (P<0.01). Increasing the proportion of rice bran reduced fungal growth and improved silage color, indicating enhanced fermentation stability. The formulation with the highest rice bran proportion demonstrated the most favorable overall silage quality. In conclusion, elephant grass–based complete feed silage integrated with agro-industrial by-products can produce stable and high-quality silage. These findings support the development of integrated and sustainable ruminant feeding strategies that improve resource efficiency and promote circular agriculture.

Abstract

Integrating agro-industrial waste into poultry feeding systems is a strategic approach to enhancing sustainability and feed resource efficiency. This study evaluated the potential of carrot agro-industrial waste as an alternative feed ingredient in broiler diets, focusing on its effects on crude protein and crude fiber contents. The experiment employed a completely randomized design with four dietary treatments containing carrot waste flour at 0, 3, 6, and 9%. Diets were formulated to be isoenergetic and isoprotein. Crude protein and crude fiber contents were analyzed using standard AOAC methods and subjected to analysis of variance. The results indicated that carrot waste flour inclusion significantly affected crude protein and crude fiber contents (P < 0.01). Crude protein content increased with carrot waste inclusion up to 6% and declined at the 9% level, while crude fiber content increased with higher inclusion levels. The 6% inclusion level provided the most optimal balance between enhanced crude protein and acceptable crude fiber content. In conclusion, moderate inclusion of carrot agro-industrial waste, particularly at 6%, improves the nutritional quality of broiler diets and supports integrated and sustainable poultry feeding systems within circular agriculture frameworks.

Abstract

Sandy soils are widely recognized as marginal agricultural lands due to low water retention, weak nutrient-holding capacity, and limited biological activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of integrating biochar and Pleurotus sp. on soil functionality and chili (Capsicum annuum L.) productivity in sandy soil systems. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with four treatments: control (no amendment), biochar alone, Pleurotus sp. alone, and a combined biochar + Pleurotus sp. treatment. Plant growth parameters, leaf chlorophyll content, yield components, and total fruit yield were measured. The results showed that the combined biochar and Pleurotus sp. treatment consistently produced the highest plant height, chlorophyll content, fruit number, and total yield compared with single-input and control treatments. These improvements were attributed to synergistic interactions between biochar-induced improvements in soil physical properties and Pleurotus sp.-driven biological processes, including organic matter decomposition and nutrient mineralization. This study provides empirical evidence that integrating biochar and fungal inputs enhances nutrient cycling efficiency and root–soil–microbe interactions in sandy soils. The findings highlight the potential of biochar–fungal integration as a sustainable and scalable strategy for improving productivity on marginal lands and supporting climate-resilient agricultural systems.

Abstract

Botanical gardens play a strategic role in integrating ecological, spatial, and socio-cultural functions within sustainable agricultural landscapes. This study assesses the functional performance of landscape plants in Enrekang Botanical Garden, focusing on Taman Monumen La Tinro and Taman Wangi, to support sustainable garden management. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining field observations, visual landscape documentation, and visitor perception surveys. Five functional variables were evaluated: ecological, shading, spatial, aesthetic, and conservation functions. The results indicate that aesthetic and spatial functions received the highest visitor ratings in both sites, reflecting effective visual organization and spatial clarity of planting design. Shading and conservation functions showed moderate performance, while ecological functions were perceived as comparatively weaker, suggesting limited recognition of ecological services by visitors. Comparative analysis reveals functional differentiation between the two gardens, influenced by layout configuration and vegetation composition. These findings highlight a functional imbalance between visual-spatial dominance and ecological-conservation roles. The study contributes novelty by integrating visitor-based functional assessment into botanical garden landscape evaluation, offering an applied framework to enhance sustainable, multifunctional landscape management in integrated agricultural systems.

Abstract

Sustainable agricultural development requires farm-level efficiency to be analyzed within integrated regional systems. Despite the economic importance of red chili farming, empirical evidence linking production efficiency and economic performance within agropolitan agricultural systems remains limited. This study applied a quantitative explanatory approach to assess the economic performance and production efficiency of red chili farming within an agropolitan system. Farm income analysis was used to evaluate economic viability, while a Cobb–Douglas production function estimated input elasticities and returns to scale based on primary survey data from red chili farmers. The results indicate that red chili farming is economically viable, generating a net farm income of IDR 4,597,870.97 per production cycle on 2,080 m² of land, with revenue–cost ratios of 2.59 (cash costs) and 1.59 (total costs). Average productivity reached 0.44 kg per plant, reflecting moderate performance constrained by inefficient input allocation. The production function analysis reveals increasing returns to scale, with a total elasticity of 1.28533. The study demonstrates that efficiency and favorable scale dynamics underpin the economic sustainability of red chili farming within agropolitan systems. These findings highlight the role of efficiency-oriented interventions and system-level coordination in supporting integrated and sustainable horticultural development.

Abstract

Integrated and sustainable agricultural systems require management strategies that simultaneously optimize crop productivity and biological soil functions, particularly in rainfed and low-input environments. However, empirical evidence linking canopy management and soil biological inputs within a unified system framework remains limited. This study evaluated the integrated effects of pruning management and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation on the growth, yield components, and root biological responses of Canavalia ensiformis using a factorial randomized complete block design under rainfed conditions. The combined application of leaf pruning and AMF inoculation consistently enhanced yield components, including pod number, pod weight, seed formation, and seed weight, compared with single-factor or control treatments. Integrated management also improved vegetative architecture and significantly increased root nodule formation, indicating strengthened belowground biological processes. The results demonstrate that yield improvement is driven by synergistic interactions between aboveground canopy regulation and belowground symbiotic functions, highlighting the role of biological efficiency in integrated agricultural systems. This study provides novel system-level evidence that integrating pruning and AMF inoculation represents a viable, low-input strategy to enhance productivity and sustainability in rainfed legume-based farming systems.

Abstract

Small-scale agrifood market systems play an important role in supporting household livelihoods and local food supply, particularly in regions where traditional vegetable markets dominate. Women increasingly participate as vegetable traders within these systems, yet their economic roles are often underrepresented in agrifood sustainability analyses. This study examines women’s economic roles by analyzing income generation, cost structures, and contributions to household income within a small-scale agrifood market system. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using a census survey of women vegetable traders operating in a traditional morning market in Bone-Bone Subdistrict, Indonesia. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using cost–income analysis and household income contribution measures. The results indicate that women traders generate substantial net income, with variable costs comprising the largest share of total production costs. Women’s trading income contributes approximately 80% of total household income, indicating that women act as primary economic providers. These findings demonstrate that vegetable trading represents a viable livelihood strategy. Overall, women traders support both household economic sustainability and the stability of small-scale agrifood markets by maintaining daily market circulation and food supply continuity, contributing to more resilient local food systems.

Abstract

Cassava-based agroindustry plays a strategic role in strengthening local agrifood systems by connecting agricultural production, food processing, and local markets. However, many small-scale cassava processing enterprises operate under structural constraints that limit their contribution to sustainable agrifood system development. This study examines strategic pathways for developing cassava-based agroindustry by analyzing internal and external factors that shape enterprise performance within a local agrifood system. A qualitative–quantitative approach using SWOT analysis was applied, drawing on field observations, interviews with agroindustry actors, and secondary data. The results show that stable access to local cassava, processing experience, and product acceptance constitute key internal strengths; limited production capacity, simple technology, and narrow market reach remain major constraints. Externally, increasing demand for local food products and institutional support create development opportunities, whereas competition and market volatility pose persistent challenges. The resulting strategic pathways emphasize value upgrading, gradual innovation, enterprise resilience, and operational stability. Overall, the findings indicate that context-sensitive and system-oriented strategies are essential for enhancing the sustainability of cassava-based agroindustry and reinforcing the integration and resilience of local agrifood systems.

Abstract

Urban farming is increasingly promoted as an adaptive response to food system challenges in rapidly urbanizing areas. This study analyzes the perceptions of urban farming actors toward hydroponic-based agricultural development within urban agrifood systems. A census-based survey was conducted among hydroponic practitioners participating in an urban farming program in Parepare City, Indonesia. Data were collected using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed descriptively to capture technical, economic, institutional, and market-related perception dimensions. The results show that hydroponic urban farming is perceived as technically feasible and well-suited to limited urban spaces, with positive contributions to household food provision. However, perceptions of income potential, market integration, and program continuity remain moderate, indicating structural constraints that limit wider agrifood system impacts. These findings suggest that hydroponic urban farming currently functions mainly as a complementary food production strategy rather than a fully commercial activity. The study highlights that long-term sustainability depends not only on technological adoption but also on sustained institutional support and stronger integration with urban food markets, emphasizing the need for system-oriented development approaches.

Abstract

Reducing dependency on synthetic pesticides is a central challenge in advancing sustainable horticultural production systems. This study evaluated the effectiveness of Lantana camara leaf extract as a botanical pesticide for managing Spodoptera exigua in shallot-based cropping systems under field conditions. A randomized complete block design was applied with four extract concentrations, and observations included pest infestation intensity, leaf damage progression, plant vigor, yield performance, and phytotoxicity. The results showed a clear dose-dependent reduction in infestation intensity, with the highest concentration achieving the greatest suppression, while the moderate concentration provided the optimal balance between pest control and crop performance. Treated plots exhibited delayed larval development, improved plant vigor, and higher yield compared to the untreated control. Mild phytotoxic effects were observed only at the highest concentration, indicating the importance of dosage optimization. These findings demonstrate that plant-derived extracts can effectively reduce pest pressure while maintaining crop productivity. The study highlights the potential of botanical pesticide applications as a component of sustainable pest management strategies within shallot-based cropping systems, supporting reduced chemical reliance and enhanced agroecosystem resilience.
