TL;DR: In this article, food security challenges in the post-Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia's high focus on rice, classic problems in agriculture, supportive regulation, and education are regarded as the main concerns.
Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has been a significant health crisis and has the possibility for further crises. The pandemic has also brought many challenges to food security issues in Indonesia. The country indeed has a long history of food security, and rice, as the staple food, has become the main focus of food security policies. As a country known for its agriculture, Indonesia is still struggling to reach food self-sufficiency due to some classic problems in agriculture such as agricultural land-use change, human resources, inputs, etc. Considering that local production cannot meet the national food demand, food imports were arranged. Nevertheless, this policy is not suitable for an extended period due to the risks of food import dependency. Speaking of food security challenges in the post-Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia's high focus on rice, classic problems in agriculture, supportive regulation, and education are regarded as the main concerns. Beyond these challenges, however, food security opportunities also appeared, such as increasing awareness of food waste, strong social capital, and return to local potential to support the food security agenda. The pandemic has made many parties realize that food security issues are important and need more attention, especially in terms of how the four main aspects of food security can be met during and after the crisis.

TL;DR: In this article , the ABCD analysis framework was used to determine the variables that affect customers' intentions to mitigate food waste while dining in restaurants and to assess the underlying determinants and issues that underpin the model's advantages, benefits, challenges, and disadvantages.
Abstract: Purpose: The primary goal of the ABCD Analysis Framework is to discover the variables that affect customers' intentions to mitigate food waste while dining in restaurants and to assess the underlying determinants and issues that underpin the model's advantages, benefits, challenges, and disadvantages. An appropriate score / weightage can be given for each component utilizing the ABCD model. Additionally, the framework intends to apply factor analysis and elementary analysis to get additional understanding of the subject.
Design: The published papers pertaining to the ABCD analysis framework have been extensively evaluated for this study. By giving proper weight to key attributes and using quantitative analysis through focus group interaction, the study was able to identify the key influencing variables and essential constituent aspects for the mitigation of food waste behaviour of consumers in restaurants.
Findings: Based on the ABCD analysis framework, it was discovered that many businesses and individuals adopt this new kind of approach that promotes sustainability or survival to get through their serious issues and find short relief. Through focus group discussions, the ABCD framework's assessment of consumers' intentions to reduce food waste has led to strong support for the advantages elements. Therefore, the results of this model will help back up the effectiveness of the mitigation of food waste in restaurants.
Originality/Value: The ABCD analysis method is used in this study to closely investigate consumers' intentions to reduce food waste while dining in restaurants. In order to comprehend the many aspects influencing customers' intention to mitigate food waste, the research utilizes determinant issues, key attributes, factor analysis and elementary analysis based on essential critical constituent elements.
Paper Type: Empirical analysis.

TL;DR: The authors in this article reviewed the literature on this issue, focusing on the post-recovery strategy for the tourism industry and the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused a major shake-up in the global tourism industry.
Abstract: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused a major shake-up in the global tourism industry, causing people from all over the world to self-isolate and avoid travel. Indonesia is one of the largest archipelago countries in the world, consisting of five major islands and thousands of small islands, making it a prime global tourism destination. However, due to the pandemic, the tourism industry in the country has been deeply affected, and many of the tourism businesses in Indonesia have had to shut down. This article discusses the COVID-19 impact on tourism in Indonesia through a systematic review of research articles from the ScienceDirect database for 2019–2022. This study aims to explore the pandemic’s impact on various tourism industries throughout Indonesia and the recovery strategy of the affected areas. Accordingly, this study reviewed the literature on this issue, focusing on the post-recovery strategy for the tourism industry and the impact of COVID-19 on various branches of the tourism industry, such as the hotel, geoparks, and halal industries. Connecting the gap between policies and demographic characteristics is a crucial strategy for tourism recovery that can lay a foundation for future studies in similar fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Green Revolution (GR) has played an outstanding role in feeding a hungry world and improving global food security, and it also generated its own environmental problems also productivity increase is now slow or static, and achieving the productivity gains needed to ensure food security will therefore require more than a repeat performance of the GR of the past, while the key challenges today is to replace these varieties with new ones for better sustainability.
Abstract: Wheat is fundamental to human civilization and has played an outstanding role in feeding a hungry world and improving global food security The crop contributes about 20 % of the total dietary calories and proteins worldwide Food demand in the developing regions is growing by 1 % annually and varies from 170 kg in Central Asia to 27 kg in East and South Africa The developing regions (including China and Central Asia) account for roughly 53 % of the total harvested area and 50 % of the production Unprecedented productivity growth from the Green Revolution (GR) since the 1960s dramatically transformed world wheat production, benefitting both producers and consumers through low production costs and low food prices Modern wheat varieties were adopted more rapidly than any other technological innovation in the history of agriculture, recently reaching about 90 % of the area in developing regions One of the key challenges today is to replace these varieties with new ones for better sustainability While the GR “spared” essential ecosystems from conversion to agriculture, it also generated its own environmental problems Also productivity increase is now slow or static Achieving the productivity gains needed to ensure food security will therefore require more than a repeat performance of the GR of the past Future demand will need to be achieved through sustainable intensification that combines better crop resistance to diseases and pests, adaptation to warmer climates, and reduced use of water, fertilizer, labor and fuel Meeting these challenges will require concerted efforts in research and innovation to develop and deploy viable solutions Substantive investment will be required to realize sustainable productivity growth through better technologies and policy and institutional innovations that facilitate farmer adoption and adaptation The enduring lessons from the GR and the recent efforts for sustainable intensification of cereal systems in South Asia and other regions provide useful insights for the future
