Abstract

Food sustainability is a fundamental pillar of Indonesia’s national development agenda, closely linked to economic resilience, social welfare, and long-term environmental stability. Despite its strategic importance, Indonesia’s current level of food security remains below the global average, indicating persistent structural and systemic challenges. Ensuring future food sustainability therefore requires integrated and adaptive strategies to address multiple pressures, including climate change, shifting consumption patterns, population growth, and volatility in food prices. This study examines the prospects of food security in Indonesia by focusing on three key dimensions: food availability, food access, and food stability. Using a comprehensive analytical approach, the research identifies both the opportunities and constraints within Indonesia’s food system. The findings indicate that Indonesia possesses substantial potential to enhance food sustainability, supported by abundant natural resources, a large agricultural workforce, and growing technological capacity. However, this potential is constrained by uneven productivity, limited access to food for vulnerable populations, and weak mechanisms to stabilize food supply and prices. To overcome these challenges, the study proposes several strategic measures. First, agricultural productivity must be increased through the sustainable application of modern agricultural technologies that are environmentally friendly and climate-resilient. Second, the development of inclusive and sustainable agribusiness models is essential to improve food access, particularly for low-income and rural communities. Third, strengthening food system governance and supply chain management is necessary to ensure price stability and reduce vulnerability to external shocks. These measures must be implemented in an integrated and sustainable manner to secure Indonesia’s long-term food sustainability and resilience.

Abstract

The provision of Green Open Space (GOS) in Malang City has not yet fulfilled the minimum proportion mandated by Law Number 26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning. This shortfall has contributed to the emergence of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, which poses increasing environmental and thermal comfort challenges in urban areas. One of the primary drivers of UHI in Malang City is the extensive conversion of green land into built-up areas, particularly for residential development. As urban expansion continues, private residential land holds significant potential to function as supplementary green open space, thereby contributing to urban microclimate regulation. This study aims to analyze differences in land surface temperature across various green open space components by comparing hardscape and softscape elements within three Green Open Spaces located at Universitas Brawijaya. Land surface temperature measurements were conducted over three consecutive days, with observations carried out for 12 hours each day at two-hour intervals. The results indicate a clear distinction between surface temperatures of hardscape and softscape materials. Softscape elements consistently exhibited lower surface temperatures compared to hardscape materials, demonstrating their effectiveness in mitigating heat accumulation. Among the materials analyzed, andesite exhibited the highest surface temperature, reaching up to 37°C, while water bodies, such as ponds, recorded the lowest surface temperature at approximately 23°C. These findings highlight the critical role of softscape components, particularly vegetation and water features, in reducing surface temperatures and mitigating UHI effects.

Abstract

Microplastics constitute a significant source of pollution in the Brantas River waters. Classified as particles <5 mm in size, they originate from the decomposition of larger plastics. The growing population along the Brantas River Watershed is believed to contribute to the increase in microplastic pollution in the river. Therefore, this research was conducted to identify the types and presence of microplastics in water and fish samples collected from the waters of the Brantas River in Malang City. Sampling was carried out in September 2023 during the dry season. Water samples were collected at four research points, while fish samples were obtained from four points within the Brantas River Watershed, Malang City. The analysis process included sample filtering, drying and observation. Microplastic particles were documented and examined using a stereo microscope and their composition was determined using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) tool to identify the polymer type. The prevalent microplastic type in the samples was film, predominantly black, and the most frequently identified polymers were nylon and nitrile. The highest abundance of microplastics was observed in water sample 3 and tombro fish (cyprinus carpio), with detailed amounts of 1.11 particles/m3 and 4.68 particles/m3 respectively. Keywords: Brantas Water, Cyprinus carpio, Microplastics, Oreochomis niloticus, Polymer.

Abstract

The existence of water plays an important role in the lives of all living creatures. Water distribution on the earth’s surface is divided into sea water and fresh water. Rivers are an example of surface fresh water that provides a water source for life. Water quality plays a role in determining a river’s quality status and designation. The Widas River is a sub-watershed of Brantas located in Nganjuk Regency. Based on Government Regulation 61 of 2010, the Widas River is included in class II for the river category. The research was carried out to assess the water quality and quality status of the Widas River. The method used in descriptive-quantitative was obtained by applying the pollutant index method. Water quality data shows that the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) parameters exceed the established class II quality standards, namely 3 mg/L for the eiver category. Meanwhile, the Widas River’s quality status, with a value of 2,22 using class II quality standards and 1,28 using class III quality standards, is included in the lightly polluted category. Meanwhile, with a value of 0.75 using class IV quality standards, it is included in the river category with good content. Based on this, class III quality standards in Government Regulation Number 2 of 2021 are more appropriate for the Widas River, Nganjuk Regency.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate strategies for the utilisation of nano technology-based ablution water waste in integrated farming systems comprising catfish, tilapia, gourami, iridescent shark, and water spinach. Utilising an interdisciplinary approach, this study not only examines the effectiveness of water treatment technology, but also seeks to empower pesantren human resources to achieve technical and economic independence. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of nanotechnology-based water treatment technology, the utilisation of the results for productive cultivation, and the empowerment of human resources in the Islamic boarding school community. This research was conducted at the As-Salafiyyah Asy-Syafi'iyyah Tambakberas Barat Islamic Boarding School, Jombang, East Java, from August to October 2025. The findings of the study demonstrate that the integration of electrocoagulation, zeolite-based nanofiltration, and ozonation technologies is efficacious in enhancing the quality of ablution wastewater. This assertion is substantiated by a substantial decline in pollutant parameters, specifically: The BOD decreased from 78 mg/L to 24 mg/L, with an efficiency of 69.2%, the COD decreased from 39 mg/L to 17 mg/L, with an efficiency of 56.4%, and the TSS decreased from 76 mg/L to 25 mg/L, with an efficiency of 67.1%. The utilisation of treated water as a cultivation medium yielded favourable outcomes, manifesting in the accelerated growth of water spinach plants. A notable augmentation in plant length was observed, escalating from 10.2 centimetres at seven days post-planting to 39.8 centimetres at 28 days after planting. Concurrently, the number of leaves increased from 9 at 7 days after planting to 38 leaves at 28 days after planting. Furthermore, the fresh weight of the plants exhibited a substantial increase, rising from 3 grams at seven days after planting to 37 grams at 28 days after planting. Furthermore, treated water has been demonstrated to support the growth of various fish species, including patin, tilapia, gurami, and catfish. The fastest growth was exhibited by tilapia and catfish, reaching 27 g and 18 g at 28 days after planting, respectively, with a final length of 14.83 cm and 13.25 cm, respectively. The present study will examine the level of technology acceptance among Islamic boarding schools. Keywords: Nanotechnology, Ablution Wastewater, Aquaculture, Hydroponics, Islamic Boarding School
