ORGANISATIONAL AND ECONOMIC SUPPORT FOR FOOD SECURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGES

The theoretical and methodological basis of the research presented in the scientific paper is based on the solution of the problem of the effective functioning of the market environment, agricultural market infrastructure in Ukraine, problems and prospects that Ukrainian agrarian modernity has today in the development of global food markets. An important block of issues is also the role of the state in building new mechanisms of restrictions and incentives, implementation of the whole set of regulatory policies during the war in the context of global political, economic, food and financial challenges. The purpose of the study is to improve scientific approaches and practical recommendations for solving the problem of ensuring the organisational and economic foundations of the functioning of the agrarian market in Ukraine under martial law. In order to achieve this goal, a wide range of research methods was used, the most important of which were the methods of generalisation and synthesis, scientific abstraction, analytical diagnostics, descriptive statistics. The methodical basis of the research were general and special methods, namely: system analysis - in order to comprehensively characterise the strategic potential of agricultural development; statistical analysis (method of standard deviation) of the dynamics of gross production by main types of agricultural products, generalisation and synthesis - in order to examine the legislative and regulatory bases in the direction of diagnosis of the potential of the agricultural sector to ensure the sustainability of national food security. The dialectical method of understanding socio-economic processes, the formal-logical method and the method of system analysis have been applied in order to better understand the processes of the country's food supply, the formation of food independence from imports, the identification of the regularities of the processes of food self-sufficiency, as well as to take into account the influence of macroeconomic factors on the improvement of the level of national food supply and food security. The main set of indicators and factors (conditions) of national food security and the set of indicators of national food security were formed to address important issues of food supply in accordance with the country's potential capabilities in the production, storage, processing of agricultural products to provide food for all categories of the population with appropriate levels of consumption, as well as food of adequate quality and safety. The study determines that the economic focus of regulatory measures on the food sector, on the protection of domestic consumers, will lead to the provision of agricultural producers with the necessary and optimal level of income, and will help to increase the competitiveness of the agricultural sector as a whole. It has been proved that solving the problem of improving the organisational and economic foundations of functioning of the agrarian market of Ukraine under martial law will generally contribute to ensuring the level of national food security, which will further give a powerful impetus to the State-building in Ukraine under martial law.

Distortions in China's agricultural virtual water trade: A perspective on value chain decomposition

Due to the exacerbation of climate change, agricultural water security has risen to a prominent position on the global agenda. However, virtual water trade isn't always beneficial for enhancing water resource sustainability; instead, it often leads to serious trade distortion problems due to unreasonable industrial and trade structures. This study employs pathway decomposition method to highlight the path characteristics of such distortions, revealing how virtual water trade distortions occur, why there are regional differences, and what insights can be gained for policy formulation. The study focuses on the agricultural sectors of seven key provinces in China. Findings indicate that virtual water in these provinces' agricultural sectors is predominantly exported through inter-regional and inter-sectoral intermediate goods trade. Furthermore, in regions where virtual water trade distortion is more severe, this characteristic becomes more apparent, leading to significant exports of virtual water. However, the trade chains for importing virtual water are usually short and direct, resulting in a relatively low volume of virtual water imports. These characteristics are closely related to the value chain participation mode. The policy implication is: while "value chain upgrading" has become a trendy term, merely improving trade conditions without enhancing the processing of agricultural products for export, or simply increasing imports of low-end intermediate inputs without upgrading the agricultural input structure for imports, offers no assistance in alleviating virtual water trade distortions. Based on these findings, we propose several differentiated strategies to mitigate virtual water trade distortions.

EQONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY (EOQ) METHOD FOR INVENTORY CONTROL OF SOYBEAN RAW MATERIALS IN TOFU INDUSTRY FAUSI BONDOWOSO

tofu industry is an industry engaged in the food sector, namely processing agricultural products in the form of soybeans that sell food needs in the form of tofu. The process of making tofu in the Fausi tofu industry with a large amount every day makes the supply of soybean raw materials must be maintained optimally. Recording for the purchase of soybean raw materials which is still done manually by writing in a daily book makes it difficult for the owner or employees involved to review stock inventory. Descriptive analysis method with a quantitative approach is done by identifying existing data, comparing the results of the data obtained with the existing theory, producing an overview of the problem to be studied and drawing conclusions. The results of the analysis of soybean raw material inventory control in the fausi tofu industry, namely the Economic Order Quantity method can be more optimal than the manual method. Reorder point (ROP) which determines the point at which raw material inventory must be added before running out of inventory in 2023 is at least 1449 Kg. And the calculation of Total Inventory Cost in the Fausi Tofu Industry is more effective using the EOQ method than the manual method because it can reduce total inventory cost by Rp 6,710,485 so that the costs incurred are lower.

Food waste and the EU target: effects on the agrifood systems’ sustainability

ABSTRACT The reduction of food losses and waste is part of the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (target 12.3) and, consequently, is one of the EU’s political priority in the field of circular economy. In this framework, the target 12.3 of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development stated, by 2030, a not quantified reduction in post-harvest losses and a halving of food waste at the retail and consumers levels; while the EU Commission has recently set the target, by 2030, of reducing by 10% food losses occurred at the stage of processing and manufacturing and by 30% food waste occurred at the stage of retail and consumption. Food losses and waste should primarily be considered an expression of inefficiency of agricultural production processes determining several environmental, social and economic impacts. The quantification of food losses and waste is still an unsolved problem so much so that, in EU; currently available data are only related to the period 2020–2021 and, in many cases, are based on estimates and are not uniform in individual Member States. This makes reliable predictions of results achievable by the European Union particularly difficult. The aim of this paper is to analyze whether the plan of losses and waste reduction established by the EU Commission is able to both ensure the achievement of 2030 Agenda target 12.3 and to make a contribution to improving the sustainability of agri-food systems. In doing so, in addition to Eurostat data on losses and waste, the EU-Commission projections and the latest results of recent studies on environmental, social and economic impact of food losses and waste in EU were used, including indicators on hidden costs of agrifood systems developed by FAO. What observed shows that the EU-Commission reduction plan, if implemented, should result in a reduction of losses and waste inadequate for complying with the recommendation given by the target 12.3. Furthermore, the EU-Commission’s decision not to provide for losses reduction at the agricultural stage should significantly limit environmental benefits, given that much of the negative environmental impacts (GHG, land and water use, etc.) are ascribable to this stage as are, according to FAO estimates, hidden environmental costs. Besides limiting environmental benefits, the EU-Commission reduction plan, focusing only on the food losses and waste reduction in the final stage of supply food chain, could lead to negative social and economic impacts caused by a decline in the demand, which will reduce supply, jobs losses and GDP reduction. The conclusion on this, is that the reduction of food losses and waste is an issue that cannot be addressed separated but needs to be included in a wider program of integrated and complementary measures as a whole clearly aimed at realizing forms of circular economy.

Exploring The Use Of Tiktok Educational Video To Increase Students’ Vocabulary At SMKN 02 Batu

Vocabulary is essential for English learners to understand the material. To increase students' interest in learning new words, medias can be used. This study aims to evaluate the practicability of TikTok as an EFL educational platform based on students' perceptions and assist educators in this regard. This study employs a qualitative method using a questionnaire and interviews to determine the number of TikTok users and to gather information from interviewees to provide a comprehensive description and elucidate the perceptions of students. Purposive sampling was used to select 27 students majoring in Agricultural Product Processing Agribusiness from SMKN 02 BATU, of which 5 were chosen for interviews. The interview session identified five themes related to students' perception of TikTok educational videos and their impact on vocabulary development: 1) content type, 2) benefits, 3) advantages, 4) weaknesses, and 5) impacts. The results revealed that students mostly learn new vocabulary effectively through TikTok since it provides a practical way to understand the meaning through real-life examples from TikTok. The study found that using media to teach English to vocational students is more effective than using textbooks, despite some students finding it distracting. This suggests that implementing TikTok educational videos in the future could be more effective than previous methods.

The synergy effect of agricultural dual-scale management on farmers' income: evidence from rural China

PurposeThis study aims to estimate the synergy effect of agricultural dual-scale management (ADM) on farmers' total household income, its heterogeneous effects and its mechanisms.Design/methodology/approachThis study constructs a theoretical analysis framework based on the division of labor and synergy theory, empirically assesses the impact of ADM on farmers' income, and further discusses the heterogeneity and mechanisms using the propensity score matching (PSM) and quantile treatment effect (QTE) models. Data is collected from 1,076 households across 4 cities in Liaoning Province of China in 2021.FindingsADM can improve the total household income of farmers, and the impact force is greater than that of the single-scale management mode. ADM is more conducive to improving the income of farmers with low income and low labor endowment. Moreover, ADM can improve agriculture production efficiency, increase net grain production income. Nevertheless, it has no significant effect on farmers' off-farm employment income.Originality/valuePrevious studies have mainly focused on the income effect of land scale management or service scale management. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to identify the synergy effect of ADM on farmers' income in China. It provides new insights into the process of agricultural production and management mode transitions in rural China.

The State of Agricultural Development and Industrial Prosperity Pathway and Strategy Design in the Context of Data-Driven and Rural Revitalization

Current advances in materials science are providing a huge variety of novel adsorbents that could be used for the transformation and storage of low-temperature heat, such as the heat generated by renewable energy sources.Achieving industrial prosperity is a key step in building an all-round well-off society and realizing agricultural modernization. In the process of industrial prosperity, there are also many problems: firstly, the long-term traditional farming in China has led to the information blockage and ideological constraint of most farmers in China, so that they are slow to accept new things and new ideas; secondly, due to the "one long and one short" characteristic of long growth cycle and short storage cycle of agricultural products, it is difficult for rural transportation and deep processing of agricultural products. Secondly, because of the "long and short" nature of the long growth cycle and short storage cycle of agricultural products, the demand for rural transportation and deep processing of agricultural products is high. This study is based on the problems related to sustainable agricultural development in traditional agricultural areas. The main purpose of this study is to clarify the sustainable development status of agricultural systems under different agricultural development paths in traditional agricultural areas, to establish a methodological system for studying regional agricultural development paths, to explore the optimal path for sustainable regional agricultural development, and orderly management of sustainable agricultural development in traditional agricultural areas, so as to promote the sustainable development of traditional agricultural areas with economic prosperity, social stability and ecological health. The experimental results prove that the optimized SGA algorithm has carried out good system dynamics modeling for the typical traditional agricultural area - the problem of choosing the agricultural development path, and the comprehensive evaluation of the simulation results.

乡村振兴战略下农产品跨境电商赋能乡村特色产业的研究

China is an agriculture-based country with vast rural areas, a wealth of agricultural products, and a large market. Cross-border e-commerce offers support for the export of agricultural products, which can break through the limitations of time and space, shorten the trade process of agricultural products, enhance the export efficiency of agricultural products, stabilize agricultural product trade, and promote the transformation and upgrading of China’s e-commerce. It also aids in the construction of a long-term mechanism for e-commerce poverty alleviation and agricultural revitalization. However, research has found that despite the rapid development of China’s crossborder e-commerce for agricultural products, there are still some issues, such as non-uniform quality standards for export agricultural products, information asymmetry, an inadequate cross-national logistics system and level of logistics technology, low levels of after-sales service, and a lack of corresponding professional and technical personnel. To address these issues, this article first introduces the current situation of China’s agricultural product export via cross-border e-commerce, then analyzes the development opportunities, and finally proposes the following solutions: aligning with international standards by establishing strict quality control mechanisms; creating a favorable policy environment, including policy support, resource allocation, and organizational guarantees; continuously improving product quality; focusing on the training of professional talent; and strengthening quality supervision and risk prevention. The aim is to promote the development of cross-border ecommerce for agricultural products, empower rural specialty industries, and support the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

Microbial biomass can effectively treat waste from the agro-food industry. Urbanization and economic development have escalated, causing environmental degradation. With the development of the economy and the improvement of peoples living standards, the total amount of waste today is huge, and there are many types. Waste management challenges far exceed those of the early 20th century, requiring innovative solutions and modern environmental protection technologies. Industrial waste is costly to recycle, while animal and plant-based organic waste like potato wastewater, whey, lignin, and cellulose dominate. This article explores the utilization of microorganisms for waste treatment. Yeast biomass offers a solution to reduce waste disposal costs and generate valuable metabolites such as -glucans, vitamins, carotenoids, and enzymes with wide industrial applications. Discovering new applications for yeast, fungi, and bacteria can enhance their effective use in various biotechnological fields.

A Cobot in the Vineyard: Computer Vision for Smart Chemicals Spraying

Precision agriculture (PA) is a management concept that makes use of digital techniques to monitor and optimise agricultural production processes and represents a field of growing economic and social importance. Within this area of knowledge, there is a topic not yet fully explored: outlining a road map towards the definition of an affordable cobot solution (i.e., a low-cost robot able to safely coexist with humans) able to perform automatic chemical treatments. The present study narrows its scope to viticulture technologies, and targets small/medium-sized winemakers and producers, for whom innovative technological advancements in the production chain are often precluded by financial factors. The aim is to detail the realization of such an integrated solution and to discuss the promising results achieved. The results of this study are: (i) The definition of a methodology for integrating a cobot in the process of grape chemicals spraying under the constraints of a low-cost apparatus; (ii) the realization of a proof-of-concept of such a cobotic system; (iii) the experimental analysis of the visual apparatus of this system in an indoor and outdoor controlled environment as well as in the field.

ТЕОРЕТИЧЕСКИЕ ПРЕДПОСЫЛКИ ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЯ РАЗМЕРА И ОБЪЁМА РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЯ ОЧАГА ОЗОНА В ЗЕРНОВОМ ВОРОХЕ И ОПТИМИЗАЦИЯ ВРЕМЕНИ ОЗОНИРОВАНИЯ

One of the most promising methods for processing agricultural products today is the ozonation process. The effect of ozone on grain will allow it to be disinfected and stimulate the growth processes of the seed, without causing harmful emissions into the environment. The purpose of the research was to find the optimal time for ozonation of grain and seeds depending on the processing speed of a certain volume of grain material. To achieve it, numerical optimization methods were used, namely the patternsearch global search method, which will determine the most rational ozonation regime for given conditions, were used to achieve it. The source of ozone propagation in a grain heap during ozonation for 10...60 minutes is close in shape to an ellipsoid, but has a slightly different mathematical description. The mathematical models obtained by interpolation make it possible to determine the minimum ozonation time and the maximum speed of ozone treatment per unit volume of a grain heap. It was revealed that increasing the processed volume of grain due to the longer duration of the operation does not make sense, as it will contribute to an increase in energy and cost costs. Under given conditions, an ozonation time of 1270 seconds provides a maximum ozone treatment rate of 3059 mm3/s per unit volume of grain. Optimization will make it possible to ozone the maximum volume of a grain storage facility as quickly as possible at minimal cost. The shortest processing time per unit volume under these conditions was 0.000327 s/mm3. Other ozonation parameters will have different optimal values, therefore the proposed methodology is the basis of an appropriate computer program that will automatically determine the optimal ozonation regime for specific conditions.

Mechanisms for managing investment activities in the agro-industrial complex

The relevance of the study of investment management mechanisms in the agro-industrial complex is explained by the fact that only those subjects of the agro-industrial complex that carry out active investment activities have prospects for successful functioning. However, the pace of their development is largely determined not only by the volume of investments, but also by the efficiency of their use. At the same time, the concept of «investment» reflects a complex and significant economic category. On the one hand, investments make it possible to carry out the process of agricultural production itself, and on the other, the results of the production process affect savings, that is, the possibilities of further investment. At the same time, the conducted study of the indicators of measurement and evaluation of investment projects allowed us to more fully reveal their content, objective relationships between them. At the same time, the prerequisite for calculating performance indicators was the justification of approaches that take into account objective economic laws

Analysis of the impact of agricultural credits on agricultural mechanization in Türkiye

Agricultural mechanization is one of the high-cost important inputs used in agricultural production. Thanks to agricultural mechanization, time and manpower are saved greatly in the agricultural production process. Agricultural loans, one of the most important agricultural financing instruments, are considered necessary for agricultural enterprises to invest in agricultural mechanization. This study, which adopts a quantitative research method approach, aimed to analyze the impact of agricultural loans on agricultural mechanization in Türkiye using time series analysis. Within the scope of the purpose, annual data covering the period 1981-2022 were gathered from data sources related to loans and agricultural mechanization. A log-log model was constructed with loans as the independent variable and agricultural mechanization as the dependent variable, and ARDL bounds testing method was applied in the estimation of the model. According to the findings obtained from the estimation of the model, there was a long-term, positive, and statistically significant co-integration relationship between loans and agricultural mechanization variables. A 1% increase in the loan balance was found to increase agricultural mechanization by approximately 0.035%. On the other hand, the short-term relationship between the variables was found to be negative and statistically significant. Short-term deviations from the long-term equilibrium caused by shocks were shown to vanish by approximately 86% after 1 period. In this context, it is clear that the adaptation process between the variables is very rapid.

PENYUSUNAN DATA JAJANAN KHAS PRODUKSI INDUSTRI MIKRO DI DESA GUNTURMADU DENGAN TENIK WAWANCARA TERSTRUKTUR

Gunturmadu Village is a village in Mojotengah District, Wonosobo Regency, Central Java. The potential of agricultural commodities in Gunturmadu Village has not been utilized optimally because most of the agricultural products are sold directly without being processed first. There are only a few home industries on a micro scale that process agricultural products into typical snacks whose management from production to marketing is still carried out traditionally. This community service program will focus on typical dry snacks which have the potential to be developed, especially for packaging and online marketing. The author carried out a community service program by compiling data on typical snacks produced by the micro industry in Gunturmadu Village using structured interview techniques. The interview data was then processed and edited into a catalog book of typical snacks from Gunturmadu Village, resulting in 20 typical dry snacks. It is hoped that the catalog book for typical dry snacks produced by micro industries in Gunturmadu Village in 2023 will become literature and can ignite the enthusiasm of micro industry players and the younger generation to develop micro industries in Gunturmadu Village.

Development of Processing of Agricultural Products by Women in Villages and its Role on the Economy of Rural Families

The current research aims to investigate the development of the process of agricultural products by women and its role in the economy of rural families in Takhar villages. Although rural women in Afghanistan work with a traditional approach to promote agricultural education, they have been able to play a key role in promoting their agricultural products. The present study was carried out in Takhar province, Afghanistan, in 2023. The Cross-Sectional design method was used to collect the data. The research questionnaire includes five basic parts and two districts: (Kalafgan and Baharag). A multistage sampling technique was used to collect the data. In the present research, we selected 80 respondents randomly for the study. The findings of the present study show that agricultural products of rural women in Takhar province are considered one of the important achievements that provided not only the job of them but also their agricultural incomes a helpful and meaningful impact on the economy of their families, which means 47.5% of respondents agree that their agricultural products can play a good role in their family's economy, so 40% of them have a moderate view for this and the rest of them (12.5%) considered their agricultural products are not enough to grow of their family economy. Therefore, we can recognize that agricultural products can impact the economy of rural families in Takhar province. Also, the interview findings of the present research show that creating a foundation for the work of rural women in the field of agricultural products can help achieve the following goals: Women achieving independence in all matters, especially economic matters, getting Women rid of poverty unemployment and finding prosperity, empowerment and capacity building for rural women, freeing rural women from family violence due to economic problems, raising the economic level of rural families, proper use of rural women's labor force for the growth of the local economy and finally laying groundwork for the activation of women in all matters.

Assessment of agrobusiness structures’ performance and pespectives for strengthening market positions

Agribusiness, as a component of the agricultural sector, is defined as a system of economic relations encompassing the production, processing, and marketing of agricultural products, which influences the socio-economic development of the country. Its importance lies not only in providing food for the population but also in creating jobs, forming export potential, and stabilizing the agrarian sector. Ensuring a high level of competitiveness of agribusiness is a strategic task for ensuring sustainable economic development and improving the living standards of the population. In the modern conditions of globalization and rapid changes in market trends, evaluating the performance of agribusiness structures becomes critical for the success of enterprises. This is an important stage of strategic planning, which allows identifying key factors influencing competitiveness, understanding risks and opportunities, and developing effective development strategies. Evaluating the performance of agribusiness structures depends on the use of various methods, including analysis of financial indicators, determining market competitiveness, assessing innovation potential, and analyzing the efficiency of management processes. The article emphasizes the importance of evaluating agribusiness activity in the context of its competitiveness and sustainable development. In particular, strategic success factors, methods of performance evaluation, and the role of management and innovation in strengthening agribusiness competitiveness are considered.

Acculturation of Javanese Islam and Mapalus Culture in The Development of Islamic Economic Tradition in Tondano

Diversity allows the emergence of merging existing cultures into a new culture that does not take away the essence of the previous culture. The success of Tondano Javanese Village in maintaining the existence of economic traditions, especially in the agricultural sector, also plays a role in balancing the economy in the Tondano region. Mapalus is synonymous with the life cycle of the Minahasa community which is closely related to religious values. Development of Javanese Islam in Tondano began to occur after the group of Kiai Mojo and his followers consisting of approximately 60 men, established an association place for them to settle and live there, namely "Kampung Java". In addition, the development is also getting stronger after they are in a relationship assimilation through marriage with indigenous Minahasa women who at that time the majority adhered to Christianity. The Muslim community living in Minahasa influenced the development of the existing mapalus uyang culture. Mapalus is a form of local wisdom of the indigenous people of Tondano adapted by the Muslim community from Java. Then from Joanne et al (in Senduk, 2016) Added one other form of mapalus, namely arisan. This Arisan is one of the prominent forms of social interaction between members of the North Minahasa community. Its function is to help each other in the economic field based on family values. In general, this social gathering is one of the associations in terms of distributing funds. This concept is in great demand by the lower middle class because it is considered easy to fulfill one's direct desires, so it is considered to be able to pay in installments (Muhaisin & Syarbaini, n.d.). In practice, the forms of the collection also vary, such as money, groceries, jewelry, building materials, etc. Unlike the arisan practice implemented in Tondano Java Village, the form is an association to be able to divide work into agricultural and plantation activities. So in each activity, the agricultural and plantation production process will be divided based on its working group
