Transforming Agroindustry in Indonesia: Emerging Digital Technologies for Reducing Food Loss(Chinese and English versions)

Liang you shipin ke-ji
Indonesia’s agroindustry is an economic pillar but is hampered by high food loss and waste (FLW) caused by inefficient logistics, inadequate cold chain infrastructure, and fragmented supply chains. FLW leads to economic losses of 4%~5% of Indonesian GDP,

Mechanically Mutable Matrices: A Hierarchical Investigation of Decellularized Sea Cucumber Collagen as an Adaptable Scaffold Material

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) is a remarkable collagen‐based material which can rapidly undergo large changes in stiffness through transiently bound effector proteins. Here, we investigate the hierarchical structure and mechanical response of MCT from Cucumaria frondosa across length scales with a wide range of methods, also exploring ...

Reconstructing the Ecuadorian Short Food Supply Chain consumer profile

Purpose: We consolidate fragmented knowledge on Ecuadorian Alternative Commercialization Circuits (CIALCOs) by profiling their consumers and identifying challenges for expansion. While Ecuadorian CIALCOs have evolved since the 1980s to emphasize producer-consumer relationships and sustainability, research on stakeholder profiles remains scarce. We fill
