Abstract

Background: This study examines the role of agriculture in non-agricultural performance across two contrasting development stages, Indonesia (agriculture-anchored) and Japan (post-agriculture), spanning 1994-2023. To mitigate compositional endogeneity when agriculture is both an explanatory variable and part of total Gross Domestic Product (GDP), this study uses non-agricultural GDP (Net GDP), defined as total GDP minus agricultural value added, as the dependent variable. Methods: This study uses annual World Development Indicators data analyzed through a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The analysis was conducted after testing for unit roots using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and confirming long-run cointegration through the Johansen cointegration test. Granger causality, impulse response functions (IRFs), and forecast error variance decomposition (FEVD) were also used to examine dynamic relationships and shock transmission. Findings: The results show that, in Indonesia, agricultural value added has a positive and significant long-run effect on Net GDP, with a larger elasticity than capital and exports. The IRF and FEVD results further indicate that agricultural shocks generate a positive and relatively persistent response in Indonesia’s Net GDP. In Japan, agricultural value added does not have a significant long-run effect on Net GDP, while capital and exports are the principal drivers. Japan’s Net GDP response to agricultural shocks is weak or negative. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the role of agriculture in economic growth is stage-specific and supports different policy priorities for transition versus post-agricultural economies. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study contributes by comparing the role of agriculture in two economies at different stages of structural transformation. By using Net GDP rather than total GDP, the study shows that agriculture remains an important growth channel in Indonesia, while its role in Japan is more limited in a post-agricultural economy. This finding clarifies that agriculture-led growth is not universal but depends on the stage of development.

Abstract

Background: The integration of nanotechnology and sustainable processing has increasingly positioned nanocellulose as a renewable and biodegradable material for food-related applications. Among various eco-friendly synthesis approaches, ultrasonic-assisted processing has emerged as an efficient and green technique for enhancing cellulose fibrillation and functionalization. This study presents a systematic and bibliometric review of global research trends on ultrasonic-assisted green synthesis of nanocellulose for food applications between 2015 and 2025. Methods: A comprehensive dataset was retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed following PRISMA guidelines. Bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny was performed to visualize publication dynamics, keyword co-occurrences, and collaboration networks. Findings: The findings revealed exponential growth in publications, with major research clusters centered on ultrasonic-assisted nanocellulose synthesis and food packaging applications. The systematic review further highlights the advantages of ultrasonication in improving the mechanical strength, optical transparency, thermal stability, crystallinity, biodegradability, and eco-efficiency of nanocellulose compared to conventional methods. Conclusion: Despite these advancements, challenges remain regarding process scalability and safety evaluation for food contact applications. Overall, this study identifies current research gaps, emerging directions, and sustainability implications, contributing to the advancement of green nanotechnology in the food sector. Novelty/Originality of this article: By combining VOSviewer and Biblioshiny for cross-platform analysis, this study offers a more comprehensive visualization than previous studies that used only a single tool, thereby providing a structured framework for developing environmentally friendly nanocellulose technology.

Abstract

Background: Bagelen is a region located in Purworejo, Central Java, Indonesia. In the past, Bagelen had a very long history, from becoming an independent region, to becoming a residency, and then joining the Kedu residency. The landscape or land in the Bagelen region (Purworejo, Kebumen, Wonosobo, Banyumas, and Kedu) has undergone a long history of transformation. This study will examine the changes in the landscape or land use in the Bagelen region from the end of the 18th century to the 21st century, based on an environmental history perspective. Methods: The methods used in this study include a historical approach and other scientific approaches such as botany, linguistics, archaeology, and anthropology to strengthen the evidence related to the transformation in this region. Findings: This study found changes in land use over various periods of time. This study found that the landscape of the Bagelen region had changed; initially, the Bagelen region consisted of agricultural land, which later transformed into plantations. Furthermore, due to high demand for timber, the Dutch East Indies government implemented a reforestation project from 1875 to 1925, with the aim of profiting from the sale of timber and other agricultural products. Conclusion: However, while these landscape changes had occurred regularly over the centuries—or in accordance with soil science principles—at the beginning of the 20th century, further changes took place due to a growing population in need of land, This led to the conversion of forests—which had been reforested during the colonial era—into plantations and settlements. However, these changes were not based on sound soil science principles, resulting in natural disasters such as landslides. Novelty/ Originality of this article: The research presents an innovative environmental history of Bagelen, combining historical methodology with insights from botany and pedology.

Abstract

Background: The global food crisis has placed modern food systems within the framework of a risk society. Women's participation in food sovereignty is a critical response to this risk. However, specific bibliometric mapping on this topic as a form of collective reflexivity is still lacking. This study aims to map literature trends (2009-2025) and interpret them using Beck's risk society theory. Methods: This study applied bibliometric analysis to 25 documents from Scopus (2009–2025). Data were analyzed using Biblioshiny to map scientific performance and structure. The findings were then interpreted qualitatively through Beck's theoretical framework of risk society and reflexivity. Findings: This field is highly specialized and stagnant (0% growth rate), but highly collaborative (nol single authors-publication). There has been a shift in discourse from food security (a mature theme) to the dominant food sovereignty after 2020. The thematic map shows gender, collective rights, and participatory action research as the main driving themes. Theoretically, this is interpreted as reflexive modernization, where women's participation is a subpolitical practice that actively challenges food system risks. Conclusion: Women's participation in food sovereignty is a concrete manifestation of reflexive modernization and subpolitics that shifts from a technocratic focus to participatory justice in addressing food risks. Novelty/Originality of this article: The originality of this research lies in the use of Beck's risk society theory to interpret bibliometric data on women's participation in food sovereignty, proving a shift in discourse as a reflexive response to risk.

Abstract

Background: This paper examines how environmental communication functions as a contested political and communicative space within the nickel extractive frontier of Central Halmahera, Indonesia. Focusing on Waleh in Weda Utara and Kulo Jaya in Weda Tengah, the study compares two distinct but interconnected pathways of environmental and livelihood transformation associated with nickel industrial expansion. Methods: Using a qualitative interpretive comparative case-study design, the research draws on in-depth interviews, field observation, documentary and secondary sources, and thematic analysis. Findings: The findings indicate that extractive expansion affects not only ecological conditions and access to land and water, but also agricultural livelihoods, participation, and local communicative relations. In Waleh, contested territorial relations and institutional and moral mediation shape community experiences, while in Kulo Jaya, agricultural disruption and changing livelihood strategies are particularly pronounced. Conclusion: Environmental communication operates in both directions: corporate and institutional narratives may contribute to social legitimacy for extractive development, while testimonies, religious discourse, informal forums, and advocacy enable communities to articulate environmental justice claims and counter-narratives. Novelty/ Originality of this article: The study argues that environmental injustice in extractive frontiers involves distributive, procedural, and recognitional inequalities and is also a problem of communicative inequality. Strengthening two-way participation, transparent land governance, livelihood-sensitive environmental assessment, recognition of local knowledge, and credible grievance mechanisms is therefore essential to more inclusive environmental governance.
