Abstract

This review analyzes different aspects of agriculture, food systems, and sustainable development in Asia, a geographically variable, economically booming, and ecologically very diverse continent. The review considers progress as well as regional systems regarding sustainable development, organic crop, and livestock farming systems along with cropping. It also addresses the consequences of climate change on fish and aquaculture, the control of soil and carbon sequestration, and the effects on the availability of food. Further, the review discusses microbial science in supporting the development of sustainable and resilient food systems, food diversity and quality, while also critically examining the challenges and gains of implementing sustainable agriculture. Asian countries are confronting important development challenges and need to move toward sustainable and resilient food systems immediately. While significant progress has been achieved in reducing poverty, ensuring food security, and modernizing agricultural, numerous challenges still remain, including the impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and malnutrition. The prevailing production-focused models of input intensification as well as linear resource use cannot adequately address these interlinked challenges. Sustainable agriculture and food systems in Asia can be achieved through a multi-dimensional strategy. This would include developing and instituting policy systems that make green and inclusive practice more effective, prioritizing the benefits to the smallholder farmer. Technology and social innovation, such as upscaling climate-smart agriculture, digitalization, and knowledge-sharing mechanisms, are essential for enhancing productivity and resilience. Promoting regional and global cooperation through cross-border association, emergency funds, and knowledge transfer mechanisms is essential in order to mitigate shocks and stimulate development. Also essential are strategic public and private investments to modernize infrastructure, support research programs, and grant vulnerable populations autonomy. Ultimately, an overall approach that fosters cooperation between governments and people is essential for propelling sustainable food and agriculture systems towards a more resilient world.

Abstract

Climate change is a globally reached problem that crosses traditional disciplinary, spatial, and societal boundaries. Facing and adaptation to climate change effects require designing a holistic approach that integrates theoretical and methodological insights from a very wide range of disciplines. This essay articulates the reasoning and critical imperative of collaborative, multi-disciplinary involvement in climate change research and action. It identifies fields where interdisciplinary coalescence elevates the level of comprehension, drives innovative problem-solving, and achieves sustainable results. It covers topics such as Recognotion of Climate Change Complexity, Environmental Contributions, Socioeconomic and Policy Scopes, Partnership and Capacity Building, as well as Challenges and Future Directions. The argument demonstrates how holistic approaches improve the precision of our decisions and strengthens global collaborations essential to realizing world sustainability goals.

Abstract

Animal farming is transforming from subsistence-oriented conventional practices to wards market-driven entrepreneurial enterprises. The current review integrates peer-reviewed studies and experiential knowledge on economic factors, business models, uptake of digital technology, finance, gender, sustainability, and policy impacts encapsulating livestock entrepreneurship in various income contexts. Based on global and national data, it offers practical tools such as business model charts, unit economics charts, technology solutions, finance options, and risk management techniques available to entrepreneurs, cooperatives, investors, and policymakers. Some of the most important findings are: (i) profitability depends on feed quality, animal productivity, market access, and business skills; (ii) the application of digital technologies accelerates herd management and disease surveillance; (iii) there are still financing gaps despite value-chain financial products under development; (iv) gender participation and benefits are shaped by inclusive business operations; and (v) considerations for sustainability increasingly connect climate change, animal welfare, antimicrobial resistance, and market advantage. A forward agenda is outlined for developing "enterprise-ready" animal agriculture that combines technical efficiency, entrepreneurial capability, risk finance, and open sustainability.

Abstract

Green entrepreneurship new and growing companies that create environmental value alongside economic and social value is moving from the margin of policy and research to the mainstream of strategies to sustainable development. This review synthesizes recent theoretical and empirical contributions to the role of green entrepreneurship (GE) in the contribution to the 2030 Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with focus on mechanisms, effects, and enabling conditions. We discuss definitional accuracy with respect to sustainable and environmental entrepreneurship; map GE pathways to specific SDGs; amalgamate evidence on effects (including mixed findings); examine the functions of ecosystems, funds, regulation, human assets, and culture; and suggest measurement techniques and testing requirements. While robust evidence links GE with progress in SDGs that include clean energy (SDG 7), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), industry and innovation (SDG 9), decent work and growth (SDG 8), and climate action (SDG 13), environmental impacts depend on context and policy design in terms of direction and strength. The review is succeeded by a pragmatic scorecard and agenda for researchers and policymakers to accelerate GE's role in the SDGs.

Abstract

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a chronic condition in which blood flow in the arteries experiences excessive and often uncontrolled increases. Hypertension occurs due to the impact of several risk factors. Risk factors for hypertension include a family/genetic history of hypertension, advanced age, gender, diet, unhealthy diet, obesity, frequent smoking and alcohol consumption, stress, and lack of physical activity, which are the main risk factors for developing hypertension. Hypertension treatment includes not only pharmacological but also non-pharmacological methods. Providing green bean juice, rich in potassium and isoflavones, is an alternative for lowering blood pressure. Objective: At the Sri Rezeki Elderly Community Health Post (Posyandu Lansia Sri Rezeki), Mojokrapak Village, Tambelang District, Jombang Regency, this research aims to reveal the relationship between green bean juice consumption and changes in blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension. This study employed a comparative experimental design with a pretest-posttest model in two groups. The study population consisted of 80 elderly individuals, with a purposive sampling technique used to select 16 respondents. Information was obtained through recording on the observation sheet and checking blood circulation pressure with a sphygmomanometer, then analyzed using the paired T-test method. The study output showed that before being given the mung bean juice intervention there were 11 respondents with severe hypertension, while after the intervention a number of 6 respondents suffered from pre-hypertension. In the statistical analysis using the paired t-test method, the p value was obtained in line with 0.000 which was lower than the significance limit of 0.05. This output confirms that the consumption of mung bean juice plays an important role in lowering blood circulation pressure in the group of elderly people with hypertension who participated in Posyandu services in Mojokrapak Village, Tambelang District, Jombang Regency. Mung bean extract has been proven to be able to provide a positive effect in lowering blood circulation pressure in elderly people with hypertension, especially in individuals who are not disciplined in taking antihypertensive drugs and have an unbalanced diet.
