The use of fossil-based plastics in food packaging poses a serious environmental concern. Pectin, a natural biodegradable polymer, offers a potential solution for environmentally friendly and sustainable food packaging to replace fossil-based plastics. This article reviews the applications of pectin in active and intelligent packaging and analyzes the latest research trends. Bibliometric analysis was used to review the existing literature on pectin in food packaging. Data were collected from the Scopus database, which covers research on film manufacturing and pectin-based coating. Pectin-based active packaging contains antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds such as ascorbic acid and essential oils, which effectively prevent bacterial growth while absorbing oxygen and water vapor. In contrast, pectin-based intelligent packaging allows real-time monitoring of food quality through integrated color-changing indicators, eliminating the need for open packaging. Research trends have shown a significant increase in publications on pectin-based packaging, reflecting the growing interest in sustainable packaging solutions. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, pectin can replace conventional plastics and provide safer and more durable packaging solutions, thereby supporting global efforts to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste.

Countries with mostly Muslim populations should have more halal-certified products for domestic consumption. In Indonesia, only a few food products are halal-certified, whereas many products are not certified, but are still consumed by Muslims. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the manifestations of consumer intentions in buying halal food products, and how this intention affects Muslim consumers in purchasing halal food products. This is a semi-systematic literature study that identifies and analyzes articles on a highly scientific database spanning a decade. VOSviewer is used to visualize the development of scientific topics that have been published through keywords. These findings provide in-depth insight into the intentions of Muslims in buying halal food products. This study can also assist the study of halal food products that analyze the factors of intention and contribute to the sustainable buying behavior of consumers in the future.

Entrepreneurship is an important issue in the economy of a developing nation. However, the development of entrepreneurs in Indonesia is still very low when compared to other countries. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the determinants of the Sustainable Youth Entrepreneurial Intention for Agricultural start-ups. Analysis was performed using the Structural Equation Model. In addition, an analysis of the main factors of interest for Sustainable Youth Entrepreneurship In Agricultural start-ups uses Smart PLS 3.2.9 on questionnaire data from 738 youth respondents in Indonesia. The results show that attitude, subjective norm, and behavioral control variables have a significant influence on the model of Shapero’s entrepreneurial event (perceived desirability and perceived feasibility) and the sustainable intention of entrepreneurship in agriculture start-ups. Based on the research results, this study can be a reference for practitioners in increasing their sustainable entrepreneurial intention by applying the significance activation method to increase academic behavior and interest. In addition, the government can socialize more projects and training programs or entrepreneurship programs to increase the interest of the younger generation in relation to agricultural start-ups as part of the strategy.

Background: Green packaging represents a viable solution to address environmental issues, contributing to the creation of a quality living environment. This study aimed to: (1) identify potential forms of green products and green packaging; (2) examine the driving factors, constraints, opportunities, and challenges associated with the use of green products and green packaging in tourism SMEs; and (3) develop strategies for the implementation of green products and green packaging in tourism SMEs to support the SDGs. Methods: This study employs a mixed-methods research design. Primary data collection was carried out through field observations at tourism SMEs in East Java. Data analysis was using SWOT analysis. Results: The findings indicate (1) Green products and green packaging have significant potential and the materials used are largely derived from local natural resources. (2) Strengths include the use of local materials. Weaknesses involve the ongoing need for innovation. Opportunities arise from the potential of higher prices due to increasing environmental awareness and the potential for export due to the unique cultural products. Threats include the need for continuous branding to enhance product recognition. (3) Strategies for implementing green products and green packaging in tourism SMEs to support the SDGs include socialization, education, guidance, and supportive government policies. Conclusions: This study is an important step in implementing a green product and green packaging strategy in Tourism MSMEs to support SDGs through socialization, education, and government policies. In addition, the implications can provide important references for decision makers to implement green product and green packaging strategies in Tourism MSMEs and support SDGs.

With the largest population in Indonesia, Bogor Regency in West Java Province has agricultural potential. One of the prospective regions in Region V with agricultural populations that grow both fresh and processed agricultural products, from rural to urban. Problems in the promotion of agricultural products were discovered by the Government of Bogor Regency through the Agricultural Extension Center of Region V. To solve these issues, a platform called Kiosagri.com in the form of a marketplace has been introduced. It is required to quantify usability, which is influenced by the usability dimension, for this market to be useful. As a result, the purpose of this study is to examine the usability factors that influence the usability of the farmers that utilize the Kiosagri.com agricultural marketplace. This reserach employs a cross-sectional survey design and a quantitative methodology. Farmers who have been introduced to Kiosagri.com were the only respondents in the census. 32 respondents' data were analyzed using multiple linear regression tests and descriptive statistics. The findings demonstrated a substantial relationship between usability and the usability factors of learnability, efficiency, memorability, error, and satisfaction. Only efficiency, which has a substantial impact on usability, is the dimension that dominates this relationship.
