The limited availability of land has encouraged the development of vegetable cultivation in urban areas as an important component of food security. Urban agriculture is commonly practiced in home yards by utilizing small spaces as production areas. One approach that can support this practice is indoor plant cultivation using artificial LED lighting. The aim of this research is to find strategie…
Bananas are plants that are highly nutritious and meet human nutritional needs. Bananas can be cultivated as a crop that contributes to food security. However, banana cultivation is challenging because there are many plant pests that attack banana plants. The insect Pentalonia nigronervosa is an insect that can cause banana plant disease.

Pempek is a traditional food from Palembang that has high economic and cultural value. However, this product has a major drawback in that it has a relatively short shelf life, which limits its distribution to wider areas and reduces economic opportunities for producers. Current efforts include sterilising pempek in vacuum or negative pressure packaging, which can extend its shelf life to one ye…
Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbes and their metabolites, i.e., short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), have beneficial effects on the gut function and health of monogastric farm animals, particularly chickens and pigs. Nevertheless, more research is still needed to fully understand the complex relationship between gut microbes and their hosts, especially in the following three aspects. Fir…
