Cirebon Regency is in West Java Province and it’s one of the largest rice producer in Indonesia so that Cirebon Regency has a rice surplus. West Java is included as a region with access rice availability and the source of rice comes from within the West Java region itself, so there is minimal intervention from other regions in terms of meeting rice needs. In an effort to maintain rice resilience, strategies that can be implemented by West Java Province include maximizing the availability of rice in the region to meet local needs, distributing part of its production to surrounding deficit areas, and maintaining the productivity of rice fields. The results of the review literature, food security were not realized in Cirebon Regency because exports and imports of rice production were not properly recorded, distribution of rice production was not monitored, supply stability and price affordability were not controlled, access and information to markets are limited.. The regional government is implementing an agricultural intensification policy, especially in cultivating rice considering that the amount of agricultural land is decreasing, but behind the success there is the potential for climate change which could cause a decrease in productivity. In order to support sustainable food security in Cirebon Regency, it is necessary to analyzed the availability and distribution patterns of rice from upstream to downstream. This pattern is expected to answer the uncertainty of rice availability in Cirebon Regency and its relationship in supporting food sustainability in the future. The method that will be used to answer this problem is to carry out primary data analysis at the rice mill level in Cirebon Regency. Apart from that, the rate of land conversion as a factor influencing rice production is used as analysis material for recommendations for the sustainability of food availability in Cirebon Regency. Food security and sustainability efforts can be achieved with policy changes and transformation of food system governance.

“…The ability of fertilizers to replace nutrients in soil is key to meeting the United Nations sustainable development goal of "zero hunger" (McConnell et al, 2023). Historically, conventional agriculture has relied on mineral-based fertilizers to increase the amount of food that can be grown on a given plot of land.…”

Given the high cost and non‐renewability of mineral‐based fertilizers, there is increasing interest in the innovative use of manure‐based materials, such as poultry litter (PL). However, manure‐based fertilizers add both nutrients and microbes to the soil, including antibiotic‐resistant Escherichia coli (AREc). PL soil amendment impact on AREc in corn fields was evaluated in a randomized field experiment (May–October 2017). Two winter cropping systems (fallow and cover crop) were assigned to whole plots, with three spring‐applied fertilizer treatments (untreated control [UC], PL, and commercial fertilizer [CF]) assigned to subplots. Soil was collected from 0 to 15 cm on days 0, 7, 28, 70, 98, and 172 post‐treatment applications. Samples were cultured for the enumeration and prevalence of generic, tetracycline‐resistant (TETr), third‐generation cephalosporin‐resistant (3GCr) E. coli isolates, and extended spectrum beta‐lactamase (ESBL)‐producing Enterobacteriaceae. PL soil amendment significantly (p < 0.05) increased the levels of generic E. coli, TETr E. coli, and 3GCr E. coli on days 7 and 28 compared to UC or CF. Beyond day 28, AREc did not significantly (p > 0.05) differ by fertilizer treatment and returned to baseline on day 70. ESBL‐producing Enterobacteriaceae were detected from 16 samples, mostly on day 70. Cover crop significantly decreased TETr E. coli concentration on day 28, with no significant effects on the prevalence of 3GCr E. coli and ESBL‐producing Enterobacteriaceae compared to no cover crop. All ESBL‐producing Enterobacteriaceae and 79% of the 3GCr E. coli isolates were positive for blaCTX‐M gene by polymerase chain reaction. Results show that PL soil amendment transiently increases the levels of AREc compared to mineral fertilizer.

“…Nevertheless, owing to the excessive use of fungicides with the same or similar mode of action, fungicide resistance is rapidly increasing, which resulting in the decrease of ability to control fungal diseases in crops [ 15 – 17 ]. Meanwhile, non-target and environmental hazards have emerged along with fungicide utilization [ 18 , 19 ]. Therefore, it is an outstandingly meaningful project to continue to develop green, efficient, and environmentally friendly new fungicides to control fungal diseases in crops.…”

Background Traditional pesticides are poorly water-soluble and suffer from low bioavailability. N-succinyl chitosan (NSCS) is a water-soluble chitosan derivative, has been recently used to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs to improve their bioavailability. However, it remains challenging to synthesize pesticides of a wide variety of water-soluble drugs and to scale up the production in a continuous manner. Results A synthetic method for preparing water-soluble nanopesticides with a polymer carrier was applied. The bioactive molecule BTL-11 was loaded into hollow NSCS to promote drug delivery, improve solubility and anti-fungal activity. The synthesized nanopesticides had well controlled sizes of 606 nm and the encapsulation rate was 80%. The release kinetics, drug toxicity and drug activity were further evaluated. The inhibitory activity of nanopesticides against Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) was tested in vivo and in vitro. In vivo against R. solani trials revealed that BTL-11 has excellent control efficiency for cultivated rice leaf and sheath was 79.6 and 76.5%, respectively. By contrast, for BTL-11@NSCS NPs, the anti-fungal ability was strongly released and afforded significant control efficiencies of 85.9 and 81.1%. Those effects were significantly better than that of the agricultural fungicide azoxystrobin (51.5 and 66.5%). The proposed mechanism was validated by successfully predicting the synthesis outcomes. Conclusions This study demonstrates that NSCS is a promising biocompatible carrier, which can enhance the efficacy of pesticides, synergistically improve plant disease resistance, protect crop growth, and can be used for the delivery of more insoluble pesticides.
