The average Return Cost Ratio (R/C) value was greater than 1, at 2.32, indicating that for every IDR 1 spent, a return of 2.32 times the cost was obtained. This means the business is profitable and feasible for further development. The average Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C) value was also greater than 1, at 1.32, meaning that for every IDR 1 spent, a net benefit of IDR 1.32 was obtained, indicating that the business is feasible and provides benefits. The Break-Even Point (BEP) analysis in terms of revenue, production, and price showed values at the break-even point. The overall results of this study indicate that seaweed farming in Takatidung Village, Polewali Subdistrict, Polewali Mandar Regency, is profitable and feasible to continue as a business ventur
Optimization of Tidal Transects and Traps for Mapping the Population of Mud Crabs (Scylla spp.) in Kalangan River, Tapanuli Tengah
Get PDFThis study investigates the effectiveness of combining the low-tide transect method with the use of crab pots to map the spatial distribution of mangrove crabs (Scylla spp.) in the Kalangan River, Central Tapanuli. Mangrove crabs are ecologically and economically significant species in coastal environments, yet limited data exist on their spatial population dynamics. An exploratory survey was conducted over a period of one month across three transect sites using standardised 1×1 meter PVC frames and systematically placed crab pots. Observations included species composition, carapace size, and habitat substrate type. The findings revealed that Scylla olivacea dominated the catch (68%), with the highest density recorded at transect 2 (0.86 individuals/m2), characterised by fine, sandy-muddy substrate and moderate mangrove cover. Transect 1 showed the lowest density (0.63 individuals/m²), likely due to degraded mangrove vegetation and coarse sandy substrate. A positive correlation was observed between tidal depth and catch abundance. The results suggest that this integrated method offers a reliable baseline for assessing mangrove crab populations and can inform sustainable coastal resource management practices
Microalgae-Based Ethanol Fermentation from Defatted Biomass: A Preliminary Study
Get PDFThe utilization of microalgae has been widely carried out, ranging from food, feed, and cosmetics to alternative energy. Microalgae is a potential biomass source with lipid content ranging from 7% to 23% and carbohydrate content ranging from 4.6% to 23%. Microalgae can be utilized as a source of pigments and antioxidants. The ability of rapid cell growth is an advantage for microalgae. In addition, microalgae have lower lignin content compared to macroalgae. Tetraselmis chuii and Porphyridium cruentum are microalgae species that are known to contain lipids and carbohydrates that have the potential to be further utilized in the production of biodiesel and bioethanol. This study was conducted to determine the potential of microalgae biomass in bioethanol production through the fermentation process. This study was conducted to determine the potential of microalgae biomass in bioethanol production through the fermentation process.

PENGETAHUAN LOKAL MASYARAKAT TANI DALAM MMENGHADAPI PERUBAHAN IKLIM (STUDI KASUS MAYARAKAT TANI DI ACEH BARAT)
Get PDF AbstractClimate change has become a global and urgent issue, particularly for traditional rice-farming communities that rely on rainfed paddy fields. This study aims to analyze farmers' knowledge and understanding in responding to climate change, with a focus on community-based or local wisdom. This research problem is substantial because farming communities have not yet fully adapted to climate change. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study reveals how farmers interpret natural signs through traditional knowledge, implement sustainable farming practices, and maintain the Keujreun Blang customary institution as a social practice. Additionally, the practice of meuseuraya (mutual cooperation) and the role of customary institutions further strengthen the resilience of traditional farming communities in facing the impacts of climate change. The findings indicate that local knowledge or wisdom is not merely a cultural heritage but also an evolving adaptive practice in response to climate change. Therefore, integrating local knowledge with scientific approaches and government policies is a strategic step in building a more resilient and sustainable agricultural system amidst climate change in the farming communities of West Aceh
Repositioning Women from Policy Objects to Agents of Change: Challenges in Stunting Prevention in Pohuwato Regency
Get PDFThis study explores the challenges of handling stunting using a women’s empowerment approach in Pohuwato Regency. The main objective is to analyze the extent to which women at risk of stunting can play an active role in prevention efforts and to evaluate the effectiveness of government support in fostering their independence. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants included women vulnerable to stunting and stakeholders in empowerment and stunting prevention programs. Findings reveal that although institutional support is relatively adequate, women’s roles remain passive, with low authority, self-confidence, and competence to act independently. Their reliance on top-down assistance limits initiative and decision-making capacity. Furthermore, a lack of practical skills hampers their ability to utilize abundant local resources—particularly in agriculture and biological sectors—for economic and nutritional improvements. The study concludes that women are still treated more as policy objects than empowered agents of change. To address this, empowerment strategies must prioritize capacity building, participatory planning, and the transformation of women into active decision-makers. Strengthening multi-stakeholder collaboration and encouraging program ownership are critical to achieving sustainable stunting prevention efforts. This research contributes to gender-transformative public health policies by positioning women as central actors in community-based interventions
