This includes research on regulatory frameworks, policy innovations, and governance mechanisms aimed at promoting sustainable agricultural practices. 5. Food Waste Reduction and Management: Research on strategies for reducing food waste and improving waste management in the food system. This includes studies on food recovery, recycling, and initiatives to minimize waste at various stages of the food supply chain. 6. Social Equity and Justice in Food Systems: Investigation of social equity and justice issues within agriculture and food systems. This includes research on the impacts of food production on marginalized communities, access to resources, and equitable distribution of benefits. 7. Climate Change Adaptation in Agriculture: Exploration of adaptation strategies for agriculture in response to climate change. This includes research on climate-smart agriculture, adaptation technologies, and practices that enhance resilience to climate variability. 8. Consumer Behavior and Sustainable Food Choices: Studies on consumer attitudes and behaviors related to sustainable food choices. This includes research on trends in dietary preferences, consumer demand for sustainable products, and the influence of education and marketing on food-related decisions.

Abstract

Background: Business sustainability issues arise in the culinary sector due to the need to balance growth with environmental, social, and economic impacts. The purpose of this study is to analyze the business strategies used by culinary businesses to achieve sustainability. Methods: This research uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA protocol. Literature searches were conducted on the Google Scholar database using keywords such as "sustainability business," "culinary business," and "Indonesia." Using Harzing's Publish or Perish application, 17 articles were selected that met the criteria. Finding: This research uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA protocol. Literature searches were conducted on the Google Scholar database using keywords such as "sustainability business," "culinary business," and "Indonesia." Using Harzing's Publish or Perish application, 17 articles were selected that met the criteria. Conclusion: The study concludes that the sustainability of culinary businesses in Indonesia depends on the ability to integrate environmental, social, and economic strategies simultaneously. Novelty/Originality: This article provides originality by being one of the first Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) that specifically maps sustainability strategies in Indonesia’s culinary sector using the PRISMA protocol.

Abstract

Background: African mango nut is a valuable but underutilized forest product due to dearth of research. This study was conducted to evaluate and model the effect of size, surface area, and moisture content on breaking characteristics of African mango nut, for appropriate selection and development of the nut cracking machine to minimize seed damage, curb energy wastage, and improve the processing operation. Method: This study was carried out at African mango nut moisture content range of 15–20% wet basis using standard methodologies from literature. Findings: Results showed that breaking of African mango nut requires compressive strength ranging from 411.23–414.18 N/cm2 for nut of sizes between 3.24–3.49 cm and surface areas varying from 8.66–11.11 cm2. The values of the yield strength recorded during the force-deformation (compression) process followed the same trend. Also, the compressive strength was found to increase with increase in moisture content and the consequential effect of increasing the moisture content as from 15 to 20 % on compressive force is higher than the resultant impact noticed in increasing the size between 3.24 and 3.49 cm and the surface area between 8.66 and 11.11 cm2. The linear models developed were statistically significant at P < 0.05 with coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9902 and 0.9730 for compressive and yield strengths, respectively. Conclusions: The findings contribute to sustainable nut processing practices and energy-efficient food production in tropical regions. It also shows that a good relationship exists between the dependent and independent variables studied. Novelty/Originality of this article: Farmers and processors of African mango seeds could, select, design and create, or assess the cracking/breaking contrivance with the developed model equations.

Abstract

Background: This narrative review offers vital contribution to the discourse on sustainability, food security, and sociocultural transformation; it furnishes a compelling interdisciplinary exploration of the complex drivers of food waste in Nigeria. It highlighted how in Nigeria, the phenomenon is a multifarious issue profoundly rooted in the country’s cultural norms, religious practices, celebrations, exacerbated by excessive consumerism, conspicuous consumption and lavish spending particularly during festivals and religious ceremonies. Furthermore, the article alluded that the background of the problem transcends logistical inefficiencies or lack of infrastructure; they are complexly tied to societal values and perceptions of status and hospitality. Methods: This article uses comparative analytical lenses to synthesize existing literature to provide an intricate and balanced consideration of diverse issues that have relevance to the phenomenon under consideration. Multiple data sources, especially academic databases such as ResearchGate, DOAJ, Scopus, and JSTOR were searched for relevant studies and articles that have bearing on food wastage. The review is hinged on the theory of Planned Behavior and Social Practice Theory. Findings: In line with the tenents of theory of Planned Behavior this review especially revealed that food wastage occur among individuals and households in Nigeria because people believe food wastage is innocuous, a sign of abundance and hospitality. Also, corroborating the Social Practice Theory, this review uncovered that food wastage in Nigeria is largely related to everyday routines and skills that shape how people buy, store, cook, and consume food. Conclusion: This article concluded that food wastage issue in the country is driven not by the surplus or low cost of food but mostly by the caprices of individuals. As a departure from other articles and research on the phenomenon, this article has put plate food waste and misjudging food quality on a pedestal as also weighty factors that contribute subtly but significantly to the food waste phenomenon in the country. The article recommended amongst others that food waste reduction should tackle issues across the entire supply chain, from preparation to consumer behavior while emphasizing the need to discard outdated and inefficient practices and reevaluate cultural norms around celebrations and religious festivals. Novelty/Originality of this article: Majority of contemporary articles on food wastage focused chiefly on factors such as poor storage facilities and supply chain inefficiencies, with little to no attention given to the social causation of the phenomenon which is a primary focus of this review.
