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

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.

Abstract

Green technology investments-public and private capital invested in renewable energy, resource efficiency, circular economy solutions, and other low-carbon technologies-are widely argued to catalyze ecological (eco-) innovation among entrepreneurial firms. This review synthesizes theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence on how green investments influence ecological innovation in entrepreneurship. We organize the literature around four mechanisms-finance and risk reduction, knowledge/technology transfer, market signaling and demand creation, and institutional/policy levers-and summarize sectoral heterogeneity, enabling conditions, barriers, and policy implications. Two short summary tables highlight empirical studies and policy instruments; a conceptual figure illustrates the mechanisms linking green capital to eco-innovation. We conclude with practical recommendations for entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers and point to promising directions for future research.

Abstract

Organic farming is being proposed as one model of sustainable entrepreneurship because it combines environmental benefits, rural livelihoods, and market-based incentives. This review synthesizes the scientific evidence regarding organic agriculture's performance along environmental, economic, and social dimensions and explores how organic systems create both opportunities and constraints for entrepreneurs. I review meta-analytic and review evidence on yields, profitability, ecosystem services, and resilience; discuss practical and structural barriers related to certification, knowledge, scalability, market access, and policy; and outline strategic responses that entrepreneurs and policymakers can use in scaling sustainable agricultural businesses while minimizing trade-offs. The review draws on peer-reviewed meta-analyses and high-quality reviews and concludes with actionable recommendations for entrepreneurs, investors, and policy makers, along with an agenda for future research.

Abstract

Livestock production is integral to the global food chain with its physiological, nutritional, as well as economic benefits for billions of people around the world. At the same time, conventional livestock production has various environmental challenges such as production of greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, water contamination, loss of biodiversity, among others. Nature-based solutions (NbS) have been recognized for their capability to address these challenges through the harnessing of ecological processes in livestock production activities. This review combines scientific literatures for sustainable livestock production strategies coupled with NbS for the purpose of understanding the roles of entrepreneurship in their scalability for balanced environments as well as financial viability for livestock producers worldwide. Various NbS approaches such as silvopasture practices, rotational grazing practices, agroforestry practices, integrated crop livestock production approaches, among others, have been highlighted in this review for their contribution to global food security, environment integrity, as well as rural economy development.

Abstract

Sustainable entrepreneurship entrepreneurial action that simultaneously pursues economic viability, social inclusion, and ecological integrity has moved from a niche scholarly domain to a central lever for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This review synthesizes conceptual and empirical research on how sustainable entrepreneurship advances the SDGs, identifying dominant themes, mechanisms of impact, challenges, and opportunity spaces. We connect foundational theory on opportunity recognition under ecological and social constraints with contemporary work on circular economy ventures, impact investing, blended finance, and impact management standards. We further examine how national policy frameworks and ecosystem-level interventions (e.g., UNCTAD’s Entrepreneurship Policy Framework, the EU Social Economy Action Plan, and UNDP’s SDG Impact Standards) can enable entrepreneurs to contribute more effectively to SDG targets. The review surfaces persistent obstacles measurement and attribution of impact, financing gaps for early-stage and inclusive ventures, institutional voids, trade-offs and mission drift, and uneven scaling pathways while outlining promising research and practice opportunities in business model innovation for the SDGs, inclusive and frugal innovation, and outcome-aligned capital. We conclude with a research agenda and policy implications to accelerate entrepreneurship-led progress toward 2030.

Abstract

Tropical wetlands are among the most important yet increasingly threatened ecosystems in Southeast Asia, providing critical habitat for biodiversity and essential ecosystem services for local communities. However, information on waterbird assemblages in many peatland landscapes of Borneo remains limited, constraining effective conservation planning. This study presents a preliminary assessment of waterbird diversity, associated threats, and landscape management opportunities in the Bakung River wetlands landscape, Sukamara Regency, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Field observations recorded 28 waterbird species belonging to 10 families, including 17 migratory species and several taxa of national and global conservation concern. The findings indicate that the seasonal hydrological dynamics of the Bakung River create an extensive mosaic of open swamp habitats that function as important feeding, resting, and refuge areas for resident and migratory waterbirds. Despite its ecological significance, the landscape is exposed to multiple anthropogenic pressures, particularly recurrent peat fires, canal-driven hydrological disturbance, and destructive fishing practices that may reduce habitat quality and ecosystem resilience. Based on these results, we highlight the need for an integrated landscape approach that combines habitat protection, peatland and hydrological restoration, regulation of unsustainable resource use, and long-term biodiversity monitoring. In addition, innovative sustainable financing mechanisms, including ecotourism and other schemes related to environmental services may provide complementary pathways to support conservation implementation while sustaining local livelihoods. This study underscores the strategic importance of the Bakung River landscape as a wetland refuge for waterbirds in Borneo and provides an initial scientific basis for future ecological research and ecosystem-based management in the region.
