“…Based on the facts above, this research offers a novelty by looking at what is the role of women in Pantai Bahagia Village in responding to environmental and socio-economic problems in their area? Several previous studies have focused on studying women and solving environmental problems (Nastabilla et al, 2022;Prakash et al, 2022;Srinath, 2008) and there are even studies that use the term green social worker (Setiawan & Wismayanti, 2023) on articles that talk about women's empowerment and climate change. This research offers a novelty in seeing the role of women in responding to socio-economic problems in coastal areas.…”

The conversion of mangroves into shrimp ponds occurred in the coastal area of Kampung Beting, Pantai Bahagia Village, Bekasi Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia, in the period 1990–2010. High income from shrimp ponds makes people ignore the ecological functions of mangrove forests, one of which is to prevent abrasion. However, since 2010, the destruction of hundreds of hectares of mangrove forests, worsened by climate change that hits almost the whole world, especially island countries like Indonesia, has submerged the shrimp ponds in Pantai Bahagia Village with sea water. Now, not only the shrimp ponds as their major income have disappeared, but also their living space is also threatened by severe abrasion. Gender inequality and the marginalized role of coastal women also make the socio-economic conditions of the community become worse. This study observes the role of women in Pantai Bahagia Village in responding to environmental and socio-economic problems in their area. This study uses a phenomenological approach, data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that women's empowerment plays a role in conserving critical land. Women's responses to environmental problems in their area include: 1) creating changes in women's awareness and behavior as an effort to repair and restore damaged mangrove land, and 2) carrying out activities to protect mangrove plants. Women's responses to socio-economic problems include 1) women's active involvement in productive economic activities 2) Utilization of non-timber mangrove products in processed food and crafts. Finally, this study recommends a concept to address critical coastal land issues, namely by involving women in various activities, both nature conservation and empowerment activities.

Agriculture systems worldwide need to adopt sustainable cropping solutions to deal with existing issues of malnutrition, food insecurity, resource depletion and lifestyle health issues. Millets have special nutritive and agronomic properties. Millets offer one such solution as they have nutritional, environmental, and economic superiority over the most common staple grains in India. The present study deals with women empowerment in agriculture that reflects increased women's decision-making authority related to agricultural resources, management and production, and income, which will enhance the ability of women farmers to strengthen their economic status. The novelty of this study focuses to address challenges in sustainable production and marketing in millets promotion that impede inclusive growth of women farmers. The findings of this study advocate having an integrated approach to enhance millet value chain efficiencies to develop millet promotion, considering economic, environmental, and health sustainability through women empowerment.
