This study aims to examine the impact of green economy initiatives on Indonesia’s GDP growth, with a particular focus on public perceptions of sustainable economic practices. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach, collecting primary data through an online survey administered to twenty respondents. The survey measured perceptions related to sustainable innovation, environmentally friendly resource management, and energy efficiency as key components of green economy implementation. The findings indicate that respondents hold a generally positive view of green economy practices, as reflected in a high average score of 4.24, suggesting strong agreement regarding their implementation and potential benefits. In addition, perceptions of economic development linked to green initiatives were also rated highly. These results imply that the public perceives a meaningful relationship between the adoption of green economy principles and long-term economic prosperity in Indonesia. Further analysis suggests that green practices can contribute to increased income levels, improved social welfare, and enhanced productivity, while simultaneously supporting environmental sustainability. From a practical perspective, the study highlights the importance of greater community participation, stronger policy commitment from the government, and increased green innovation by corporate entities. Theoretically, the results support existing economic and sustainability theories that emphasize the role of green economy strategies in fostering resilient, inclusive, and equitable economic growth. Overall, this study reinforces the relevance of green economy initiatives as a viable pathway toward sustainable national development.

The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in fulfilling food needs, but it continues to face several challenges, including limited land, climate change, and the need for more cost-efficient production methods. To address these challenges, the application of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) technology emerges as a promising solution to enhance productivity and efficiency in farm management. AIoT technology integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling smarter decision-making, automation, and real-time data analysis in agricultural practices. This community service activity aimed to provide AIoT technology training to the Satria Tani Hanggawana Farmers' Group in Kalisapu Village, Slawi Sub-district, Tegal Regency, focusing on premium melon cultivation. The methods used in the activity included presentations on relevant materials, an introduction to AI and IoT-based Smart Farming technology, hands-on practice in a greenhouse, and interactive discussions. These methods were designed to equip participants with practical knowledge about integrating AIoT technology into their agricultural operations, enabling them to apply it directly to melon cultivation. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the participants' understanding of agribusiness management, basic bookkeeping practices, and the application of AIoT in melon cultivation. The participants exhibited high enthusiasm, actively engaging in discussions and successfully performing practical exercises. This training was effective in improving farmers' knowledge and motivating them to adopt AIoT technology in their farming operations. The program has been instrumental in encouraging the use of smart farming techniques, which can lead to more efficient and sustainable farming practices. It is recommended that ongoing support, including follow-up activities and further training, be provided to ensure the sustainability of the technology implementation and continue to improve local food security

Food security is a crucial aspect of national development that ensures the availability, affordability, and safety of food for all communities. This article examines the Indonesian government's strategies to maintain food security through public policies using a qualitative literature study approach. The study focuses on agricultural infrastructure development, productivity improvement, food diversification, strengthening distribution systems, and empowering communities and farmers. Both central and regional governments play strategic roles in formulating and implementing adaptive policies addressing challenges such as climate change, resource limitations, and food price volatility. Additionally, large budget allocations and innovative financing approaches like green bonds and public-private partnerships are key instruments supporting sustainable food security. The role of regional governments is also vital in regulation, facilitation, and community empowerment to ensure local food security. The findings indicate that integrated public policies and stakeholder synergy effectively enhance national food security comprehensively and sustainably.

Mekar Agung Village has abundant agricultural potential, but the utilization of green waste for liquid organic fertilizer is still not optimal. Seeing this problem, KKM 67 students initiated a grant of grass chopper tools to support the production of liquid organic fertilizer in the village. This community service activity aims to increase village independence in processing green waste into fertilizer that can increase soil fertility and agricultural productivity. The method of implementing the activity includes the stage of socialization to the community regarding the importance of organic fertilizer, training in the use of grass chopper tools, and assistance in the production of liquid organic fertilizer. Through a participatory approach, the community is actively involved in every stage of the activity. The results of this activity show an increase in the community's ability to process grass waste into liquid organic fertilizer, as well as increasing awareness of the importance of environmentally friendly agriculture. The grass chopper tools that were donated have also proven effective in accelerating the process of processing green waste. This activity is expected to continue independently and contribute to economic and environmental development in Mekar Agung Village.  

In environmental conservation, accounting plays a crucial role undertaken by companies and other groups. This encompasses interests for public organizations and local companies by companies and other groups. Additionally, environmental accounting also contributes to enhancing effectiveness and productivity in environmental preservation activities by improving internal decision-making processes, such as pricing, controlling overhead costs, and capital budgeting. Qualitative research is utilized to understand and explore this phenomenon using triangulation methods to gather data from various different sources. The research findings indicate that limiting the use of oil-fueled vehicles in Indonesia could be an effort to control climate change, in line with the Paris Agreement, while renewable energy stands as an alternative to be utilized. The UNFCCC has endeavored to regulate the amount or effects of greenhouse gases to limit global temperature rise, with each country expected to set their national contributions to combat climate change. This effort is responded to through UN conferences and results in global agreements, including the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, which are legally binding to limit global temperature rise.
