Household food security and nutrition are crucial determinants of public health, especially in regions with limited access to high-quality animal protein. This study aims to analyze the impact of organic chicken farming and maggot utilization on household food security and family nutrition in Jayapura, Papua. An exploratory case study with a mixed-method approach was used, involving observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that maggot-based feed significantly improved chicken growth, health, and egg production while reducing feed costs. Families experienced improved protein intake, reduced food expenditure, and additional income from the sale of eggs, maggots, and compost. Furthermore, the integration of maggot farming into organic poultry systems supported waste management and environmental sustainability through a circular economy model. This research implies that maggot-based organic farming can be replicated as a sustainable community food security strategy in similar regions across Papua and Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of sustainability accounting based on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) as well as its impact on company performance and resilience in Indonesia. The study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method on scientific journals, sustainability reports, and related regulations for the 2022–2026 period. The results show that the integration of ESG into the accounting system can increase reporting transparency, operational efficiency, and reduce long-term business risks. In addition, the implementation of ESG also contributes to increasing company value and investor confidence. Nevertheless, the implementation of sustainability accounting still faces challenges in the form of limited reporting standards, data quality, and the risk of greenwashing. The implications of this study indicate that ESG-based sustainability accounting not only functions as a reporting tool but also as a business strategy to create sustainable long-term value. The novelty of this research lies in the integrative approach that examines the relationship between performance, risk, and transparency within a single ESG framework

Abstract: Padukuhan Karangrejek, Karangtengah, Imogiri, Bantul, is a sloping area prone to landslides due to high rainfall, soil erosion, and vegetation degradation. Landslides often threaten the safety of residents, damage infrastructure, and disrupt the sustainability of the local environment and economy. This study aims to apply bioengineering through the planting of slope-stabilizing plants to improve slope resistance to landslides using an environmentally friendly and sustainable nature-based approach. The methods included surveying planting locations, preparing planting holes, making tree marker boards, and participatory phased planting with the community. The types of plants used were Munggur, Soursop, Jackfruit, and Teak, which have strong root systems to strengthen soil structure and reduce erosion. The results showed an increase in soil cohesion through root penetration, a reduction in rainwater runoff, suppression of erosion, and a decrease in the risk of subsequent landslides. The positive impacts included increased soil water retention, improved soil fertility, community empowerment in disaster management, and economic added value from fruit and timber crops. Conclusion The application of bioengineering with Munggur, Soursop, Jackfruit, and Teak trees is an effective, inexpensive, and sustainable solution for landslide mitigation in Karangrejek Hamlet. Recommendations include monitoring growth periodically, expanding planting to other slopes, and integrating the program into the village's disaster resilience plan for long-term sustainability.

Background: The postpartum period is a critical phase requiring optimal nutritional intake for maternal recovery and ensuring the quality of breast milk. In densely populated urban areas such as Semampir District, dietary quality is often influenced by the level of nutrition knowledge and household economic conditions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutrition knowledge and household food security with dietary quality among postpartum mothers in Semampir District, Surabaya. Methods: This was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 340 postpartum mothers were selected using simple random sampling. Nutrition knowledge was measured through a structured questionnaire, food security was assessed using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), and dietary quality was measured using the 3-level Balanced Diet Index derived from 24-hour food recall data. Data were analyzed descriptively and through the Chi-Square correlation test. Results: The findings indicated that the majority of respondents possessed a good level of nutrition knowledge (average correct answers >75%), with the highest score in anemia prevention (81.2%) and the lowest in the functional role of Vitamin A (75.9%). Dietary quality assessment revealed that most respondents were in the [Select: Moderate/Poor] category based on IGS scores. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between both nutrition knowledge and household food security with the dietary quality of postpartum mothers. Conclusion: Good nutrition knowledge and stable food security contribute positively to the dietary quality of postpartum mothers. Targeted nutritional education regarding micronutrients and strengthening food access at the household level are essential to optimize maternal health during the postpartum period in urban settings.

Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka (TPT) merupakan indikator penting dalam menilai kinerja pasar tenaga kerja dan efektivitas pembangunan ekonomi daerah. Pada tahun 2025, TPT Kabupaten Kudus mengalami peningkatan dari 3,19 persen pada tahun 2024 menjadi 3,23 persen. Meskipun kenaikannya relatif kecil, kondisi ini mencerminkan adanya permasalahan struktural yang perlu dianalisis secara komprehensif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor penyebab peningkatan TPT di Kabupaten Kudus serta merumuskan strategi penanganannya. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan memanfaatkan data sekunder yang bersumber dari Badan Pusat Statistik, dokumen perencanaan daerah, dan kajian literatur terkait. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan TPT dipengaruhi oleh pelemahan pertumbuhan sektor industri pengolahan, pergeseran struktur lapangan usaha ke sektor yang bersifat musiman, kesenjangan keterampilan tenaga kerja, lemahnya perencanaan dan sistem informasi pasar kerja, serta faktor musiman seperti siklus produksi industri dan masuknya lulusan baru ke pasar kerja. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, strategi penanganan pengangguran terbuka perlu diarahkan pada penguatan daya serap sektor industri, peningkatan kualitas dan relevansi keterampilan tenaga kerja, perbaikan tata kelola ketenagakerjaan, serta pengembangan alternatif lapangan kerja melalui UMKM dan ekonomi lokal. Pendekatan terintegrasi ini diharapkan mampu menurunkan TPT secara berkelanjutan dan memperkuat ketahanan pasar tenaga kerja daerah

The results showed that 80% of participants gained an adequate understanding of the concept of sustainable food security, local food diversification strategies, and an active role in improving family welfare through strengthening socio-economic capacity. The main challenges identified include limited access to resources, the dual role of housewives, and seasonal income instability. The solutions implemented include sustainable agriculture management training, food diversification counseling, and increased local market access. The socio-economic phenomenological approach provides a perspective that the life experiences, cultural values, and habits of farmer housewives are key elements in the success of food security programs at the community level. This activity contributes to increasing public awareness, skills, and participation in realizing sustainable food security, as well as strengthening the role of women in rural development based on local wisdom. This result is expected to be a model of community empowerment that can be replicated in other rural areas with similar characteristics.

Food security has become a primary concern in Indonesia, as the growing demand for food increasingly collides with the limited availability of agricultural land and the challenges of conventional farming. One innovative solution being developed is hydroponic cultivation, a soil-less farming technique that utilizes alternative media and nutrient-enriched water. This study aims to revitalize the hydroponic system in Kepatihan Village, Sidoarjo, through a community training program on pakcoy cultivation using recycled materials, particularly plastic bottles and PVC pipes. The program was implemented using a management approach consisting of planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation stages. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and understanding of hydroponic farming after the training sessions. Community members were not only able to assemble simple systems made from recycled materials but also successfully cultivated pakcoy sustainably using PVC pipes and repurposed plastic bottles as growing media. Participants demonstrated creativity and innovation by modifying the design of the recycled bottles, reflecting a deeper comprehension of hydroponic principles while promoting recycling practices and reducing plastic waste. Despite the promising outcomes, several challenges were identified, such as pest attacks, nutrient solution contamination, and the need for regular maintenance to achieve optimal yields. Overall, this study demonstrates that hydroponic farming based on recycled materials is not only environmentally friendly and cost-efficient but also represents an inclusive, innovative, and sustainable urban farming practice. Therefore, it can serve as a practical solution to strengthen household food security while fostering community participation in developing modern agricultural systems in urban areas.
