Penentuan Karakteristik Fisikokimia dan Fungsional Minuman Teh (Camellia sinensis L.) dalam Kemasan
Tea contains chemical compounds that are beneficial to the body, such as phenolic compounds. Packaged tea drinks are obtained from steeping tea with the addition of water, sugar, synthetic flavors, stabilizers, acidity regulators, and food additives that are tightly packaged. This research aims to evaluate the suitability of the quality of packaged tea drinks based on SNI requirements and determine physicochemical characteristics which include pH and total dissolved solids, while functional properties include total phenols and antioxidant activity. This research used a purposive sampling technique designed with a Completely Randomized Design with two duplicate replications. The results of the physicochemical and functional characteristic tests were analyzed using the ANOVA method and DMRT with α=5%. The results show that ready-to-drink tea products have a pH value between 5.4–6.79, total dissolved solids with a value of 6.5–8.2 °Brix, and antioxidant activity with a value of 56.83%–79.15%, where in terms of physicochemical content and functional properties, the five samples of packaged tea drinks can be said to be good. However, only 3 of the 5 samples had phenol content that was in accordance with that required by SNI 3413 of 2011
Reinforcing Local Food Security through Agrogeological Perspectives: South Lampung, Indonesia
Local food security is a critical priority for the coming decades, especially in Indonesia. As the population grows, it is essential to meet local food needs before participating in the national supply. South Lampung, a key region in Sumatra, plays a vital role in the nation’s food supply. However, rapid population growth in this area has raised concerns about the conversion of agricultural land to residential use. To address these challenges, this study raises agrogeology as an alternative approach to reinforcing local food security. By re-evaluating the regional geological characteristics, the study aims to understand the distribution of productive, traditional paddy fields. Field surveys and spatial analyses were conducted for this study. The findings reveal that the silicate-rich lithology in the region’s pyroclastic deposits significantly contributes to maintaining fertile soils, particularly in areas such as Candipuro, Jatiagung, and Palas. Natural drainage systems further support rice cultivation. In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals, the agrogeological perspective emphasizes the need to mitigate land conversion and improve land-use planning. This approach offers a sustainable pathway to enhance paddy field productivity and ensure water and nutrient availability, thereby supporting long-term local food security

Perhitungan Premi Asuransi Pertanian Pada Tanaman Padi Di Provinsi Jawa Barat Menggunakan Metode Copula
Agricultural insurance is an important instrument to protect farmers from risks that can threaten the sustainability of farming, such as crop failure due to natural disasters, pest attacks, and plant diseases. Rice, as a strategic commodity for national food security, is a priority in insurance protection programs. This study aims to calculate rice insurance premiums in West Java Province using the copula method, based on secondary monthly data of rice production and dry grain prices (GKG) from January 2020 to December 2023, as well as daily rainfall data. The methodology includes data exploration, distribution fitting, copula parameter estimation, and premium calculation based on rainfall threshold values. The analysis results indicate that the Gaussian copula is the best model for capturing the dependence between variables, with the lowest AIC and BIC values. Premium calculations based on rainfall indices show variations according to threshold values, with lower premiums for smaller thresholds, confirming the effectiveness of the Gaussian copula in modeling risk for agricultural insurance premiums

Flood susceptibility mapping using GIS-based composite mapping analysis: a multi-district assessment in Lampung Province, Indonesia
Flooding is a recurring hydrometeorological disaster in Lampung Province, Indonesia, particularly affecting Pesawaran Regency, South Lampung Regency, and Bandar Lampung City. This study mapped flood susceptibility using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Composite Mapping Analysis (CMA) and scoring methods to support disaster risk reduction planning. Six parameters were analyzed: rainfall, land cover, slope, elevation, soil type, and river buffer distance. Parameter weights were derived objectively through CMA based on spatial analysis of 258 historical flood events (2018-2024). Rainfall data (2015-2024) were interpolated using Inverse Distance Weighting, and spatial analysis was conducted in ArcGIS 10.8. Results show that 90.66% of the study area falls within moderate to high susceptibility classes. Rainfall received the highest weight (20%), followed by elevation (19%), soil type (18%), land cover (16%), river buffer (14%), and slope (13%). Model validation achieved 77.78% accuracy when compared with historical flood locations across 45 sub-districts. High susceptibility areas are characterized by annual rainfall exceeding 2,500 mm, elevations below 50 masl, poor soil infiltration capacity, and dense settlement. The CMA method provides objective parameter weighting while maintaining computational simplicity suitable for resource-constrained settings, offering a practical framework for flood susceptibility assessment in similar tropical regions
