Abstract

Bioethanol production from palm sap (Arenga pinnata Merr.) represents a promising renewable energy alternative due to the high sugar content that facilitates efficient fermentation. This study compares the efficiency of bioethanol production using tempe yeast (Rhizopus oligosporus) and baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) at different concentrations during palm sap fermentation. Fermentation was conducted for five days, followed by distillation at 80–85 °C. Bioethanol yield and alcohol content were subsequently analyzed. The results indicate that tempe yeast produced a higher average bioethanol yield (45.59%) than baker’s yeast (41.40%), with corresponding alcohol contents of 16.20% and 14.13%. The optimal yeast concentrations were 2 g/200 mL for tempe yeast and 10 g/200 mL for baker’s yeast. Although the differences were not statistically significant, tempe yeast demonstrated more consistent fermentation performance. These findings suggest that tempe yeast is a promising alternative for enhancing bioethanol production from palm sap.

Abstract

The increasing scarcity of agricultural land and the significant impacts of global climate change have created an urgent need for innovative cultivation methods, particularly in the horticulture sector. This study analyzes the adoption of verticulture technology within sustainable horticultural systems across major Indonesian production centers, including West Java, East Java, and North Sumatra. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), complemented by field surveys and semi-structured interviews with verticulture practitioners. Results indicate that verticulture enhances land-use efficiency by up to 85%, reduces water consumption by 60%, and decreases reliance on synthetic chemical fertilizers by 70%. The technology also contributes to production stability and local food security while maintaining economic viability, with an average return on investment achieved within 3.5 years. These findings support verticulture as a critical urban farming strategy that advances sustainable resource management, food resilience, and socio-economic benefits in Indonesia’s urban and suburban contexts. Further research is recommended to develop inclusive business models and adapt verticulture practices to diverse socio-economic environments to support broader and more sustainable adoption.

Abstract

The regeneration crisis, reflected in the declining proportion of young farmers in the 2023 Agricultural Census, poses a serious threat to Indonesia’s food security and agricultural innovation capacity. This study aims to examine the causal influence of the 3 Pillar Digital Agripreneurship Empowerment Model—comprising Digitalization, Entrepreneurship, and Institutional Support—on the agricultural sustainability of millennial farmers in three pilot provinces. An explanatory quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with a sample of N = 350 respondents, and both the measurement and structural models were rigorously evaluated. The results indicate that the 3-Pillar Model explains 64.5% of the variance in agricultural sustainability (R² = 0.645). The Entrepreneurship Pillar shows the strongest effect (β = 0.421, p < 0.001), followed by the Digitalization Pillar (β = 0.387, p < 0.001), while Institutional Support remains statistically significant but exhibits the weakest influence (β = 0.155, p = 0.044). These findings demonstrate that technological access alone is insufficient to ensure sustainable agriculture; instead, sustainability requires the strengthening of agripreneurial mindsets, functional digital literacy, and the effective utilization of climate information for climate-resilient decision-making. Policy implications emphasize prioritizing agripreneurship capacity-building and strengthening institutional facilitation rather than merely increasing the number of farmer groups.

Abstract

Organic agriculture is increasingly recognized as a pivotal strategy for addressing environmental degradation and the public health risks associated with conventional farming practices. This bibliometric analysis maps the scientific landscape of organic agriculture research with an emphasis on environmental sustainability and human health. Using a dataset of more than 2,000 peer-reviewed articles indexed in the Web of Science over recent years, the study identifies an average annual publication growth rate of approximately 18.5%, indicating a rapidly expanding field of inquiry. The analysis reveals several key thematic clusters, including agronomic practices that enhance soil health and biodiversity; policy and market challenges related to certification and food security; and public health benefits associated with reduced pesticide exposure. Major contributions originate from the United States, China, and European countries, although significant geographical research gaps remain in developing regions. Overall, the findings underscore persistent challenges—such as scaling organic farming systems and harmonizing certification standards—alongside emerging opportunities in advanced agronomic innovation and long-term health outcome assessments. This study provides a strong evidence base to support policy development and to guide future research priorities within sustainable food system frameworks.

Abstract

This study addresses the urgent need for an efficient micropropagation protocol for the endangered endemic orchid Dendrobium spectabile by optimizing protocorm multiplication for conservation purposes. Protocorms were cultured on a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium using a factorial completely randomized design to evaluate four concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ; 0.0–1.5 mg L⁻¹) and three concentrations of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA; 0.0–0.2 mg L⁻¹) during a 12-week incubation period. Statistical analysis revealed a highly significant synergistic interaction between TDZ and NAA (p = 0.003). The optimal treatment combination, consisting of 1.0 mg L⁻¹ TDZ and 0.1 mg L⁻¹ NAA, resulted in the highest protocorm multiplication rate, producing an average of 9.2 new protocorms per explant, along with a high survival rate (>95%) and superior morphological quality. This optimized protocol exhibited a 50–80% higher efficiency compared to conventional BAP-based methods, indicating that a precise TDZ–NAA ratio is essential for promoting cell proliferation while minimizing physiological disorders such as hyperhydricity. Overall, this study provides a robust and significantly improved protocol for the ex situ mass propagation and conservation of D. spectabile.
