AbstrakPengenalan budaya lokal sebagai media pengajaran dalam proses belajar mengajar dapat membangkitkan keinginan dan minat, membangkitkan motivasi dan rangsangan kegiatan belajar, bahkan membawa pengaruh-pengaruh psikologis bagi pemelajarnya. Media pembelajaran yang menyangkut budaya pada bahasa yang dipelajari juga dapat membantu peserta didik meningkatkan pemahaman, menyajikan data dengan menarik dan terpercaya, serta memudahkan penafsiran dan memadatkan informasi, seperti yang ada dalam budaya Bali yang dapat diaplikasikan dalam pengajaran BIPA untuk Tingkat Pemula. Dengan menerapkan metode studi pustaka yang berlandaskan pada beberapa sumber dan pengetahuan penulis tentang budaya Bali, tulisan ini dapat dipaparkan dengan metode naturalistik karena hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan masalah budaya dilakukan pada kondisi alamiah (natural setting). Hasil yang diperoleh, yaitu budaya Bali sebagai media pembelajaran BIPA untuk pemelajar Tingkat Pemula, khususnya bagi pemelajar yang sedang belajar di Bali sangat menarik untuk disampaikan sebagai media penunjang pembelajaran utama dan sebagai motivasi untuk meningkatkan kemampuan memahami materi yang sedang dipelajari oleh pemelajar. Pengenalan etika berbicara dalam bentuk sapaan, mengucapkan salam dengan gestur yang tepat, dan mengungkapkan hal-hal yang terkait dengan aktivitas adat dan keagamaan yang masih sangat kental dalam budaya Bali sangat perlu dan menarik untuk diketahui oleh pemelajar. Selain itu, gagasan ini dapat menjadi bahan pertimbangan dalam menyusun bahan ajar atau bahan penunjang pengajaran BIPA untuk Tingkat Pemula selanjutnya, khususnya bagi lembaga BIPA yang ada di Provinsi Bali.Kata kunci: BIPA, budaya Bali, media, motivasiAbstractThe introduction of local culture as arouse teaching medium in the teaching-learning process can arouse desire and interest, evoke motivation and stimulation of learning activities, and even bring psychological influences to the learners.

Full textAbstract:
In the current era of development, learning BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) is of great interest to many people because BIPA is not just about language learning, but also about cultural understanding and integration. This research explains the influence of Japanese culture in teaching BIPA and the challenges in teaching BIPA, because every learning is inseparable from the challenges faced. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature study as the research design. The results of this study indicate that the integration of cultural elements in the teaching of BIPA is urgent. This is due to the significant differences in cultural characteristics. In addition, the process of cultural integration in BIPA teaching is not free from challenges. One of the main challenges is the difference in cultural background that can affect the way learners absorb and understand teaching materials. It can be concluded that the integration of cultural learning in BIPA is one of the important efforts in improving the effectiveness of language teaching and introducing Indonesian culture to the international community.

<p class="AbstractText">This study aims to explain the teaching materials used and needed in BIPA <em>(Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing)</em> learning and to develop BIPA teaching materials based on local wisdom as pedagogical content knowledge at Tidar University. BIPA Learning at Tidar University is facilitated by the Integrated Service Unit for Language Centre. BIPA learning at University Tidar is still relatively new and still requires further research to find out the needs of foreign learners studying here. Teaching materials that have been used need to be developed by paying attention to local wisdom as pedagogical content knowledge, generally in Indonesia and specifically in Magelang, so that learners have a better understanding about the concept of Indonesian language by paying attention to the values or characters contained in the learning material. This research uses research and development methods (Research &amp; Development). The subjects of this study were BIPA instructors and learners at Tidar University. The object of this research is the BIPA teaching materials document which will be developed using the local wisdom base as pedagogical content knowledge. Data collection techniques used in this study are questionnaire and interview techniques. The findings show that teaching material for the local wisdom as the pedagogical content knowledge is important to be inserted in BIPA teaching and learning process. </p>

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the main challenges in teaching Indonesian language (BIPA) in international classrooms, particularly addressing the limited knowledge of Indonesian culture that learners encounter in BIPA. Another significant challenge is the constraint of materials and teaching strategies related to Indonesian culture, especially regional cultures, which may have an impact on BIPA instruction in Indonesia. The primary goal is to enhance the use of the Indonesian language among foreign learners through cross-cultural understanding and a cognitive approach that supports its implementation. This research also aims to identify the impact of community practices on language learning, believing that interaction within this community enhances students' language abilities. Using a linguistic phenomenology design, this study involves direct classroom observations supported by field notes, providing insights into interactions and teaching practices. Semi-structured interviews with instructors contribute to a deeper understanding of perspectives and challenges in teaching BIPA, particularly concerning cross-cultural understanding in its instruction. Findings indicate that not all BIPA instructors utilize cultural materials and strategies in teaching. However, with high levels of student knowledge about Minangkabau culture, such as food, art, clothing, and traditional houses observed in West Sumatra, gaps in their learning arise. Time management issues emerge as a significant concern affecting the effectiveness of teaching cross-cultural understanding in foreign language instruction. This research provides valuable insights for enhancing BIPA instruction in international classrooms, emphasizing the importance of understanding community practices in cross-cultural understanding in BIPA instruction.

Menyajikan teks Bahasa Indonesia yang ditulis dengan meintegrasikan unsur-unsur budaya untuk materi belajar siswa Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) memberikan banyak manfaat. Selain sebagai sarana untuk meningkatkan jumlah kosa kata, materi yang memasukkan unsur-unsur budaya juga menjadi media untuk mempromosikan budaya Indonesia. Melalui pertimbangan pada kebutuhan belajar siswa BIPA di mana harus memasukkan pembelajaran budaya lokal, penyajian teks bacaan ini dapat dilakukan secara insidental maupun secara langsung dengan menggunakan model membaca ekstensif. Oleh karena itu, penyusanan materi yang mengintegrasikan unsur budaya sangat direkomendasikan untuk dipilih oleh guru karena membantu siswa BIPA dalam mempelajari prinsip-prinsip yang menarik dan otentik. Pada artikel ini, data diambil dari berbagai penelitian terdahulu yang mencakup penyusunan teks berbasis interkultural, model pembelajaran BIPA, dan berbagai jenis model membaca ekstensif. Data diolah secara deskriptif untuk dapat melahirkan gagasan baru tentang penyusunan bahan ajar sebagai materi pendukung proses belajar mengajar di kelas BIPA. Sebagai hasil dari penelitian ini adalah pengajar BIPA diharapkan dapat menyusun teks bacaan yang memiliki kesamaan topik untuk selanjutnya dapat diimbuhkan dengan latihan praktik. Penyusunan buku teks dengan menitikkberatkan konten berbasis budaya dan dikelompokkan sesuai dengan tingkat kemahiran berbahasa juga dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis bagi para siswa BIPA. Presenting Indonesian text written by combining cultural elements for student learning materials of Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) provides many benefits. Apart from being a stimulation to enrich vocabulary, material that contains cultural elements is also a means to promote Indonesian culture. By considering the learning needs of BIPA students who must include local cultural learning, the presentation of this reading text can be done incidentally or directly by using an extensive reading model. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers choose a material that integrates cultural elements since it beneficial for BIPA students to learn interesting and authentic principles. In this article, data is drawn from various previous studies which include compilation of intercultural based texts, BIPA learning models, and various types of extensive reading models. The data is processed descriptively to be able to generate new ideas about the preparation of teaching materials as expected to support the teaching and learning process in BIPA classes.

Higher education agriculture teaching methods should be capable of developing students' skills in food production, accessibility, food safety, and nutrition, as well as production economics. Lectures, class debates, class projects, problem solving, and tours and field trips were all typical methods in agriculture schools, according to the findings. Digital learning was barely acknowledged as a teaching strategy in this study, although being recommended in the literature review part. We can talk about approaches to build materials for agrarian students in this essay.

Full textAbstract:
Chemistry and chemical technology contribute to the quality of life on this planet in many areas: health, nutrition, agriculture, transportation, materials and energy production, and industrial development. Chemistry is at its most useful to society when chemists and non-chemists with decision-making responsibilities work with mutual understanding to address the chemistry-related issues facing their communities. Thus, it would seem obvious that all who study chemistry should learn about the interactions of chemistry and society as an integral part of their classroom instruction. However, historically, the tendency worldwide has been to include societal content in chemistry courses only at the lower secondary level. This is changing. This paper explores instructional materials developed by the American Chemical Society that place chemistry in its societal context for high school and college students. This includes a discussion of green chemistry materials that introduce students to the concepts associated with developing environmentally benign processes and products.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture is the backbone of any developing or developed country that makes any living to survive. To make food available throughout the year, it is necessary to know about agriculture and the work and strategies involved. Hence, agricultural courses have to be introduced to higher education students. Additionally, agriculture-related methods are available in many higher education institutions for longer. However, students and teachers will face difficulties in real-time practical classes during certain challenging circumstances. These situations require the teacher to utilize trending technologies to improve the teaching and learning process and to make it more manageable. In this study, for this process, a novel neural network-based recognition algorithm (NN-RA) is implemented that works similarly to a backpropagation neural network (BP-NN) to provide a practical agriculture course. The proposed BP-NN is compared with the existing NN-RA, I-SC, and I-VDT algorithms based on the data transfer and signal-to-noise ratio. From the results, it can be observed that the proposed BP-NN attains a higher accuracy in data transfer of 99%.

Subject area Entrepreneurship, agriculture, small business management and strategic planning. Study level/applicability This case is most relevant to undergraduates. Case overview This case is about Azad Ahmed who will soon graduate from his business school. He has the option of either landing in a high-paying job or joining his family business. Azad has the task of thinking for his family's future and turning the family business around. The case gives information on the condition of the agriculture sector in Pakistan, issues that the sector is facing, its non-traditional alternatives and the bright future it holds for the farmers who want to enter into agribusiness to capture international markets. The case also talks about how ownership structure of a family farm changes as the family expands further and baton is passed on to the future generations. Expected learning outcomes The case should get the students to define the term “family business” and weigh the perks and risks of working in a family business; recognize the importance of agriculture and farming in the Pakistani context; evaluate the dynamics of family expectations with respect to collectivistic society; identify the ownership transition stages and transition elements such as trigger points; define the term “agriprenuers”; and set up a business plan for agribusiness.

Full textAbstract:
This teaching case, appropriate for senior undergraduate and MBA students as well as for mid-career managers, challenges students to appreciate different facets of agribusiness sustainability, and to reflect on the potential consequences on all players in the global supply chain, from farmers to retailers, of the different methodological and philosophical approaches, definitions, and practices that are developed and adopted by the different constituencies, from independent industry organizations, to food processors and retailers. The case ‘story’ is structured around a strategic decision on what further development activity should be adopted by the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) Platform. SAI has just turned 10, its activities have proven quite successful, and the Platform is considering the next strategic move. The case frames the challenges facing SAI in a broader context, illustrating what SAI as well as an independent organization, the world largest food processor and largest retailer are doing about defining and measuring sustainability. The broad question is: what is the best way forward for SAI and what are the key implications of what SAI may decide, given the ongoing development of what is the reasonably new sector of defining, measuring and promoting sustainability in agribusiness? The reading materials provide context and methodological underpinnings to the case, which is designed to be discussed over two classes, ideally on separate days. The coach should withhold Part Two until the discussion of Part One has been completed. The Teaching Note, available to verified instructors considering the use of the case, provides additional suggestions on the classroom use of this material.

E-resources are now an essential part of all intellectual activities in higher education. Realizing the value of e-resources, the majority of Indian colleges have made generous investments to give students access to these materials to assist learning, teaching, and resources. Every country's finest learning and intellectual centres are universities, and university libraries are what fuel all of these centres' intellectual pursuits. The present study aims to study on attitude of students (Post-Graduate and Ph.D level) about e-resources in Academic and Research work of agriculture universities of Uttar Pradesh. The study was conducted during 2022 in the state using a structured questionnaire and data were collected through Online Google Form. About 240 responses were received and analysed. Out of total respondents’ 26 percent were females while 74 percent were males, 23-29 years of age (57.50%) and 46% belonged to rural background. To measure the attitude of students towards e-resources, the scale was developed by the investigator for data collection from the students. Majority of the students had medium level of attitude. Students from four agriculture universities, had more or less similar attitude towards e-resources which might be due to more or less same awareness about various e-resources available in their universities. It was found that most of the students strongly agreed with the fact that “e-resources are useful to update the knowledge globally” with 92 MPS. Students of agriculture universities had a positive and favourable attitude towards e-resources but required proper exposure and training at the right time for the better utilization of all e-resources.

Purpose: This paper explores agriculture teachers’ perceptions of the inclusion of indigenous technical knowledge in secondary school curriculum. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a cross-sectional research design to determine the perceptions of agriculture teachers on the inclusion of indigenous technical knowledge in secondary school agriculture curriculum. Findings: The findings of the study indicate that more than 50% of the agriculture teachers were aware of the different indigenous practices that are carried out in both crop and livestock production, also more than 50% of the teachers agreed that ITK is; cheap, reliable, enriches students with a wide range of knowledge, is friendly and easy to use. 82% of the teachers agreed that ITK should be included in secondary school agriculture curriculum because of its values, 18% were of the opinion that agriculture curriculum is already bulky and the knowledge is outdated hence it should not be included in the curriculum. Practical implications: This study highlights the essence of including indigenous technical knowledge in secondary school curriculum, little of the said knowledge has been taken into consideration by the curriculum developers yet the knowledge can equip the learners with diversified agricultural knowledge which is crucial in crop and livestock production, the knowledge is cheap and readily available. Theoretical implications: The results of the study reveal that most of the teachers were positive about taking ITK into consideration while teaching agriculture. Based on the values of ITK the researcher suggests to curriculum developers to research on ideas and practices related to ITK that could be beneficial to learners and develop learning materials to suit their needs. Originality/value: There are limited studies that highlight the value of indigenous knowledge and its inclusion in secondary school agriculture curriculum.

Case overview/synopsis This case study details the tenure of Seema in a rural branch of Safe Bank of India located in Haryana which she joined as a manager in the year 2016. She overachieved the target given by the district collector office, and going by the tide, she kept her reliance on the references provided by non-government organization (NGO) without complying the bank’s instructions. She committed errors while sanctioning the loans, which led towards the upsurge of non-performing assets of the branch. Later on, after investigation it was discovered that she did not follow fundamental bank’s instructions. In wake of those lapses and errors, how she could have avoided those lapses and secure the public money? What were the most important documents while granting agriculture finance and what due diligence she should have taken? How did she treat calls from the government departments? Was she right in trusting the suggestions of the NGO? Complexity academic level This case study caters to students of various streams, namely, management, business administration and law, and can be targeted at both undergraduate and postgraduate students. It could be suitable for several types of courses and students. Furthermore, this case study can also be targeted for various training programmes for bank employees and employees of various lending institutions engaged in agriculture finance and credit linkage programmes.

Full textAbstract:
In popular materials designed to teach American students about the evolution of human skin color, students are guided toward a model in which ancestral latitude predicts levels of skin pigmentation. While this model agrees with data from people whose ancestors practiced intensive agriculture in Europe, Asia, and Africa, this model does not match data from other human populations across the globe, including the predicted skin pigmentation of ancient hunter-gatherer populations who maintained long-term settlements in these same regions. In this review, we discuss findings from ancient genome sequencing and provide guidance on teaching an updated model on the evolution of human skin color. (To increase accessibility for non-specialists, we present here a targeted rationale for updating classroom teaching practices, with a set of frequently asked questions regarding the current state of scientific research on this topic addressed in supplemental material.) With this update, we hope to help students avoid common misconceptions about human evolution—particularly, that the evolutionary pressures encountered by those who adopted a single human culture would apply to all humans, everywhere—and leverage authentic data and argumentation to convey the anti-racist reality that people with a wide range of skin colors thrived in high-latitude regions for many thousands of years, just as students with a wide range of skin colors can thrive in whatever place they currently call home.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to investigate the students’ perception about the effectiveness of teaching English at Universitas Teuku Umar from non-English major students. Data were collected from the students of six faculties: Economics, Social and Political Science, Fisheries and Marine Science, Engineering, and Agriculture. A number of 120 participants were selected from each faculty by using the random sampling technique. The instruments used included questionnaire and interview guide. The data were analyzed qualitatively following four effective learning criteria; material, learning method, learning motivation, and classroom management. The results showed that (1) some students were still disstatisfied with the materials given since they were hard, (2) the teaching methods used did not stimulate the students to learn English well, (3) some students did not like learning English because they could not speak like native speakers, and (4) the lecturers paid little attention towards the students’ questions and rarely did they give rewards to their students such as praising for students’ achievement. Further, the students’ obstacles in learning English included lack of vocabulary, problem in pronunciation, and grammar difficulty.

HighlightsAn instructional treatment for teaching novice Arduino users was developed, tested, refined, and found to be effective.The revised instructional treatment significantly increased novice users’ interest, knowledge, self-efficacy, and skills in using Arduinos.Incorporation of small ‘practice activities’ during the lesson portion of the instructional treatment was proven effective.The results support the use of the program evaluation model and self-efficacy theory as effective frameworks for instructional development. Abstract. This study employed the program evaluation model and self-efficacy theory to develop, evaluate, revise, and re-evaluate an instructional treatment (lesson and hands-on activity) intended to increase the interest, self-efficacy, and knowledge of novice Arduino users in two colleges of agriculture. Arduino is a line of programmable, open-source microcontrollers widely used in education and research. Program evaluation provides an iterative model of instructional development where the results of a pilot-test are used to guide refinement of instruction and materials which are reevaluated in subsequent test(s). Self-efficacy theory posits that positive mastery, vicarious, and social persuasion experiences lead to increased confidence in task performance and subject matter interest. In the pilot-test study at University A (n = 27), the initial instructional treatment resulted in significant (p &lt; 0.05) and large increases in students’ breadboarding self-efficacy and Arduino knowledge, but not in programming self-efficacy or interest in learning about Arduino. After revising the instructional treatment to include four hands-on tasks as part of the lesson, the re-test study at University B (n = 20) resulted in significant (p &lt; 0.05) and large increases in students’ interest in learning about Arduino, breadboarding self-efficacy, programming self-efficacy, and Arduino knowledge. The results of this study indicated the utility of program evaluation as a curriculum development model and the efficacy of incorporating small hands-on activities into lessons for novices learning new technical skills. Finally, use of self-efficacy theory as a framework for curriculum development was validated.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, we developed and applied SSI writing teaching-learning lesson plans for middle school biology gifted students on the subject of plastic waste problem, seed war, etc. In this process, we aimed to solve students’ given problems creatively. In this study, a systematic teaching-learning process was presented through the development of a teaching plan, and a series of curriculums such as teaching-learning-evaluation were carried out by performing SSI writing in the evaluation process. The theme of the first teaching-learning lesson plan is ‘Plastic Age, How to solve it’, and the reason for the selection is to recognize the seriousness of environmental pollution caused by discarded plastic through the recognition of the problem of plastic items that are easily used and discarded, and to seek experimental and social countermeasures to solve them. The class was conducted by exploring the current status of plastic appliances, starting with plastic, and finding ways to solve problems through the study of larva eating plastic. The learning objectives were to recognize environmental and social problems caused by plastic, to find ways to reduce plastic waste, and to present scientific methods for problem solving through argumentation. The second subject of the teaching-learning lesson plan was selected as ‘Seeds, Dominate the World’, and the reason for the selection is to examine the seed patent rights of multinational corporations and analyze the problems caused by them, and ultimately to think about why biodiversity is important between the universal interests of mankind and the interests of specific companies. The class established the concepts of species diversity, biodiversity, seed banks, and life patents, identified the current status and problems of agriculture around the world due to patented seeds, and established their own claims through advocacy or refutation of seed bank establishment. The purpose of the study was to identify the current status and problems of the cotton industry in India, identify the seed industry in Korea, identify the status of GMO seeds in the United States, and identify the problems of life patents in multinational companies such as Monsanto. In SSI writing, or evaluation after teaching-learning, students were aware of given social science problems, sought ways to solve problems, and presented scientific methods for problem solving through argumentation.

"An outlook on the future of Brazilian agriculture: how farming students of Tocantins perceive sustainability in the Cerrado." Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais 57, no. 2 (2022): 215–29. http://dx.doi.org/10.5327/z2176-94781328.
Full textAbstract:
In the Brazilian Cerrado, the land-use change caused by the expansion and intensification of agribusiness farming has led to dramatic socio-environmental problems. To foster sustainable development, Brazilian farming students have to learn about land use according to the Sustainable Development Goals and how to implement them on their home farm and future workplace. Through a questionnaire-based survey, our study explored the perceptions of 128 students at the Family Farming High School of Porto Nacional on the sustainability of farming systems in the Cerrado of Tocantins. We analyzed the effectiveness of the school in teaching sustainability, the students’ occupational preferences and perspectives, and their sentiment about three common farming systems in the Cerrado of Tocantins, i.e., agribusiness, family farming, and agroecological farming, and their opinion on the business relationships among the three systems. Even though our study confirmed the effectiveness of school-work alternation models in transferring sustainability practices from school to home farms, it also revealed farming students’ poor understanding of the systemic definition of sustainability. Students defined sustainable and unsustainable farms with different perspectives and evaluation criteria, most of them referring to environmental indicators such as the way materials are used, whether the natural environment is protected, and whether biodiversity is preserved on the farm. There is a discrepancy between students’ occupational preference and their prevalent sentiment about family farming, agribusiness, and agroecological farming. While more than half of them would accept to work on an agribusiness farm, significantly more students have a positive sentiment in favor of family farming and agroecological farming than agribusiness farming. The three farming systems, however, are not perceived as contending or isolated but as partnering businesses, featuring low competition and high cooperation rates. Our study contributes to a broader appreciation of the Brazilian students’ perception of farming sustainability in the Cerrado of Tocantins and helps environmental education programs improve their effectiveness in transferring sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change (CC) poses a threat to agricultural sustainability, which is important in the Canadian Prairies, as agriculture is a major occupation and driver of the economy. Agriculture involves both the creation and mitigation of emissions related to CC. To implement adaptation and mitigation practices, producers should accept CC as fact. This study is based in Saskatchewan, Canada, where CC denial is prevalent in public comments. To assess the validity of this anecdotal impression, this study provided a snapshot of Saskatchewan agricultural producers’ perceptions and observations of CC and assessed whether views on CC are associated with characteristics of political orientation and affiliation, mental flexibility, systems thinking, time orientation, climate knowledge, climate observations, and demographic variables. A survey was developed with the following four sections: (1) individual characteristics; (2) observed changes in climate-related variables; (3) knowledge and perceptions about CC; and (4) demographic variables. The survey included multiple-choice questions and items scored on a Likert scale. The survey was completed by 330 Saskatchewan agricultural producers (i.e., farmers and ranchers). The results indicated more CC denial in Saskatchewan producers than in other Canadian samples. Individual and socioeconomic characteristics of lower levels of formal education, identifying as male, conservative political affiliation and ideation, low trust in science, and low mental flexibility were associated with less acceptance and concern of CC. It is therefore necessary to consider socioeconomic and individual characteristics of producers in measures aiming to increase the acceptance of the reality of CC. Future intervention research should target male producers with lower levels of formal education, low trust in science, low mental flexibility, and right-leaning political ideation for the improvement of CC perceptions and examine different teaching methods (e.g., lectures, workshops, webinars) and dissemination methods (e.g., online versus in-person sessions) to see how various techniques may influence learning, as well as the way the information is used by particular groups.

Full textAbstract:
Textbooks are the main source of teaching-learning materials used in primary and secondary schools. This study was carried out in Bhutan to examine if the existing textbooks in primary and secondary schools contain sufficient knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship education. This descriptive study collected 96 textbooks used by students and teachers in classes Pre-Primary (PP) to XII. The reviewers identified descriptions about entrepreneurship if any in the content and the pedagogical aspects. The content included the meaning of entrepreneurship, characteristics, student activity and images on entrepreneurship. The study revealed that entrepreneurship education is not thoroughly integrated into primary and secondary school textbooks. Three (3.1%) out of 96 textbooks contained descriptions about entrepreneurship. The study, therefore, recommends existing textbook contents and images on entrepreneurship education to be improved and experiential learning opportunities be included. Ministry of Education and the Royal Education Council needs to review and revise classes PP-XII existing school textbooks at various levels. Integrate entrepreneurship education-related topics in the existing textbooks of primary and secondary schools based on the current labour market needs. However, Media Information Literacy, Environmental Science, and Agriculture for Food Security textbooks were not analyzed since many schools did not offer these elective subjects due to no or poor ability rating for higher education admission in Bhutan.

Os solos desempenham um papel fundamental ao influenciar paisagens e moldar diversas atividades humanas, como a agricultura e a urbanização. O ensino desse recurso natural estimula o pensamento espacial e o raciocínio geográfico, promovendo a compreensão da interação complexa entre a sociedade e a natureza. No presente trabalho, objetiva-se analisar o conteúdo de solo nos livros didáticos do 6º Ano do Ensino Fundamental II. Como metodologia, utilizou-se uma abordagem de natureza quali-quantitativa, dividida em três etapas. A primeira destinou-se à realização de levantamento bibliográfico em artigos científicos e livros; a segunda voltou-se para a seleção dos livros didáticos e suas respectivas análises baseada na ficha avaliativa adaptada de Souza et al. (2021); e, por último, elaborou-se propostas didáticas para o ensino dessa temática. Como resultados, percebeu-se que o conteúdo de solos se limita ao que diz respeito à agricultura e aos aspectos rurais. Logo, tendo em vista o caráter secundário dado a este componente físico-natural nos materiais analisados, há a dificuldade de compreender, em sua totalidade, os aspectos fundamentais e, portanto, a sua importância para os seres humanos. Dado isso, é proposto neste trabalho a utilização de recursos didáticos, como mapas temáticos, para suprir essa deficiência dos livros didáticos em relação aos solos. Palavras-chave: Ensino de Geografia. Propostas Didáticas. Caráter Secundário. AbstractSoils play a fundamental role in influencing landscapes and shaping various human activities, such as agriculture and urbanization. Teaching about this natural resource stimulates spatial thinking and geographical reasoning, promoting an understanding of the complex interaction between society and nature. The aim of this study is to analyze the content of soils in 6th-grade elementary school textbooks. The methodology used was a qualitative and quantitative approach, divided into three stages. The first involved a bibliographical survey of scientific articles and books; the second focused on the selection of textbooks and their respective analyses based on the evaluation form adapted from Souza et al. (2021); and finally, didactic proposals were developed for teaching this subject. The results showed that the content of soils is limited to agriculture and rural aspects. Therefore, given the secondary nature attributed to this physical-natural component in the materials analyzed, it is difficult to fully understand its fundamental aspects and, consequently, its importance for human beings. This study therefore proposes the use of didactic resources, such as thematic maps, to address this deficiency in textbooks in relation to soils. Keywords: Geography teaching. Teaching proposals.

Subject area Agriculture knowledge, market intelligence, emerging business model. Study level/applicability It is best suited to teach undergraduates and graduates in the areas of rural marketing, agri-business management, service management and information and communication technology for development. Case overview India is changing with great pace by inclusive growth on espousal of technology into the mainstream. Indian farmers are wholly depending even now on traditional methods for decision making on entire agriculture supply chain. The constant decision making provides middle men with a chance to exploit and empower themselves on the returns produced by farmers. Technology is creating waves providing an opportunity for farmers to benefit by adopting information and technology to solve their basic livelihood problems. The Thomson Reuter group launched a SMS-based mobile information service to support India's 250-million-strong agricultural community. The service, named Reuters Market Light (RML), is trying to provide a missing link by providing required information in the quickest possible time to farmers; user need-based services are critical to this. How far RML services are delivering in this context is quizzed by some analysts. Thomson Reuter's service started with the global climb down in commodity prices, coupled with increased risk of natural disasters as per experts. The competitors providing similar services at price which differ with RML wondered about the success, scalability and sustainability of its venture. Expected learning outcomes This is a practical view of how these interventions can be better looked at and can get into policy for a framework for rural areas' socio-economic development.

Full textAbstract:
The population of South Meruya are urban settlements characterised by restricted space, low levels of financial literacy, and a lack of business understanding. The PKK's housewives who are actively involved, their business consciousness, and the increasing demand for hydroponic products present potential opportunities. Therefore, this plan enables the residents of South Meruya to acquire knowledge about hydroponics, provide sustenance for their families, and generate income by selling their produce. The purpose of community empowerment through hydroponic vegetable farming is to enable skilled growers to achieve greater self-sufficiency and address challenges related to food, nutrition, and welfare. This activity aimed at empowering partner communities in South Meruya. Lecturers and students work together to enable these communities to cultivate hydroponic vegetables for their own consumption and to establish hydroponic businesses, promoting economic self-sufficiency. This collaborative initiative demonstrates that the training programme effectively addresses community issues, enhances community well-being, and enhances the productivity of hydroponic horticulture, so contributing to increased community revenue. The majority of participants found the materials and practises utilised during the implementation process to be beneficial in enhancing scientific knowledge and teaching the community about hydroponic agriculture. This positive experience has motivated them to consider engaging in similar activities in the future, with the ultimate goal of attaining food security and economic self-sufficiency for South Meruya.

Full textAbstract:
Consumer demand for organically produced food and the desire by many farmers to eliminate chemical fertilizers and pesticides is increasing the need for research and educational programs to support organic farmers. To date, the land-grant universities and the cooperative extension service have been viewed by organic farmers as unresponsive to this need. The primary reason for the unresponsiveness has been inadequate training and resource materials available to extension agents. In 1998, we conducted an intensive training for agriculture agents in North Carolina. Funding was provided by the USDA SARE Professional Development Program. More than 50 agents participated in a series of workshops that were offered together as a graduate course worth four NCSU credits. Much of the training was conducted on the Organic Unit at The Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS), a 100-acre facility dedicated to research and education in organic farming systems. The hands-on training consisted of lectures, demonstrations, field trips, and class exercises. The topic areas included soil biology/ecology; crop rotation; organic nutrient management; composting; cover crop management; organic weed, insect, and disease management; appropriate tillage practices; organic greenhouse management; marketing organic produce; integrating animals into organic crop production systems; delivery systems for disseminating information to organic producers, and; social and community development aspects of sustainable agriculture. Unique features of the workshops were the interdisciplinary approach to teaching them, and the integration of information about interactions between production factors. The training was very well-received and will serve as a model for future extension programming. A training manual, slide sets, extension publications, and a Web site are being created to further support agents as they conduct programming in their own counties.

The purpose of this research is to substantiate the need to develop a professional standard “Management specialist in industries and at enterprises of the agro-industrial complex” to improve the provision of the Russian agro-industrial complex with management personnel. Methods. To achieve this purpose, it is rational to apply analytical and statistical research methods: to analyze the provision of the Russian agro-industrial complex with specialists with economic and managerial competencies, to carry out a comparative analysis of the job responsibilities of managers and chief specialists of agricultural organizations performing the functions of personnel management and production processes, and the content and volume of economic-management training for the agro-industrial complex. Results. The heads of agricultural organizations, their deputies and chief specialists do not always meet the requirements for educational level and possession of economic and managerial competencies. On average, in the system of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, only 66 % of heads of agricultural enterprises have higher education, among the main specialists – 71 %. In the agricultural sector, there is an obvious shortage of managerial personnel, a high proportion of them are without professional education, a large proportion is occupied by employees of retirement age. Training of personnel for the agro-industrial complex is carried out in 54 universities subordinate to the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia. The number of graduates in the main agricultural areas and specialties trained internally at the expense of the federal budget is more than 19 000 people, but there are only about 6 000 graduates of the specialist and magistracy who have the right to occupy leadership positions. In addition, in the main professional educational programs of personnel for the agro-industrial complex, little study time is allocated for the study of economic and management disciplines, which does not allow the formation of the necessary competencies in graduates to perform the functions of organizing agricultural production. To provide agricultural organizations with personnel with modern economic and management competencies, it is proposed to recommend that agricultural universities, when teaching students in the main specialties of the agricultural profile, determine the list of relevant disciplines, their volume and content in the main professional educational programs in accordance with the labor functions, knowledge and skills specified in the draft professional standard “Specialist in management in industries and enterprises of the agro-industrial complex”.

Full textAbstract:
Wiktor Schramm (1885–1958) was a scholar and educator born in Olchowa and living in Poznań. He was a professor at the University of Poznań, its pro-rector, as well as the founder (1919) and head of the Department of Agricultural Economics (initially, Zakład Ekonomii Rolniczej and after 1945 – Katedra). His research interests included agriculture and agricultural economics, accounting, economic history and the organization and methodology of university teaching as well as the natural sciences and ethnography. The article summarizes the current state of knowledge about Schramm’s scholarly activities and presents his hitherto unpublished article as a voice in the discussion of the use of the cadastre, known as the Josephine metric, which was created in the late 18th century in the area of Galicia. It also discusses the metric itself, which is a contemporary source for researching the past and the changes that took place in Galicia from the 18th–21st centuries. Nowadays, the materials produced during the implementation of land surveys in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy of Joseph II are stored at the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Lviv. The article points out the untapped potential of the Josephine metric in the study of such sciences as economic history, historical ethnography, demography, geography, natural sciences and others.

In 2011, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) issued a letter to the Malaysian government expressing concern over the issue of the swiftlet industry in Georgetown, Penang. Swiftlet farming is a lucrative agriculture sector in Malaysia and is considered one of the key projects under the Malaysian Economic Transformation Program. Yet, this industry posed a threat to the well being of George Town due to its impact towards the city's heritage status. The operation of swiftlet farms in shop houses in George Town not only forces residents to coexist with thousands of swiftlets in the populated city, but also deteriorates the condition of its heritage buildings. A quick solution by the government authorities is needed in order to respond to UNESCO's enquiries. A fair consideration looking at the aspects of economy, environment and society is vital in ensuring the future of the city. Expected learning outcomes These include: understanding the complex issues of trade-offs between economic profit vis-à-vis the environmental social heritage; understanding and appreciating the conflicting governmental objectives and the way to address the conflicting demands of the stakeholders (NGOs, industry and business association and the general public); identifying and determining ways to align environmental interests with economic interests in order to formulate sustainable solutions; and formulating an action plan and providing practical recommendations to solve the problem.

Introduction
 Excessive use and misuse of antibiotics worldwide, both in human medicine and in agriculture has led to increased occurrence of bacterial resistance. Medical students should be aware of the judicious use of antibiotics, so that they can help the general population in future. Present study assesses knowledge of antibiotic use among first year undergraduate medical students and their practice in own life.
 Materials and Methods
 An observational, cross sectional study was conducted during a three-month period among first year undergraduate medical students of a teaching hospital in Kolkata. A validated self- administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by using simple descriptive statistics. Wherever it was relevant, the Chi-square test was carried out to determine any significant difference.
 Results
 About 85% of the participants were aware of the indication of antibiotic for treating bacterial infections only. Around 44% of the students had an average knowledge score compared to 28% having good knowledge score. Majority (76%) of the medical students obtained last antibiotics by a doctor’s prescription, but 54% completed the course as advised by doctor and purpose of taking antibiotic was fever mainly (41%). Statistically significant (P< 0.05) difference on pattern of their antibiotic use was found according to their socioeconomic status and knowledge score.
 Conclusion
 Changing the prescribing behaviour and knowledge of the healthcare professionals can help a lot to achieve rational use of antibiotic. It is also suggested that giving a comprehensive training of antibiotic use to the medical students and creating their awareness about frequent antimicrobial resistance could be a successful and encouraging approach.

Department of Agricultural Processing Products is one of the departments at SMKN 1 Pakis Aji Jepara which prioritizes practice as well as theory. Students of the Department of Agricultural Processing Products are not only intended to work directly but are also encouraged to continue their higher education on campus. The lack of information on the campus world, especially in a field that is linear with the Department of Agribusiness of Agricultural Processing Products, namely agriculture, makes it less difficult for students to know the real campus world. Moreover, the teachers of SMKN 1 Pakis Aji Jepara have not been able to explain the campus world in detail due to the limited time focused on teaching the material. Therefore, a community service activity was carried out by Agricultural Campus Lecturers from Muria Kudus University, Muhammadiyah Purwokerto University and Muhammadiyah Tegal University in the form of counseling about the world of agricultural campuses to students of SMKN 1 Pakis Aji Jepara. The counseling techniques carried out are by presenting materials, introducing the campus world with videos and discussions. The activity was carried out with a presentation about the campus world, especially the agricultural campus with material on how to choose an agricultural campus, how to register on an agricultural campus, campus life, campus organizations, what to do when studying at an agricultural campus, agricultural campus majors that can be chosen according to the interests of the major, scholarships on the agricultural campus and so on. The counseling was carried out in the Multipurpose Room of SMKN 1 Pakis Aji Jepara with the number of counseling participants of 56 students majoring in Agricultural Processing Products of SMKN 1 Pakis Aji Jepara

Learning outcomes This case will help students to analyse and develop insights into the concepts of servant leadership; to analyse and develop insights into women’s empowerment and a process to achieve such empowerment; and to explore the social business models for scaling up. Case overview/synopsis The Lakhpati Kisan programme under the aegis of Tata Trusts focussed on empowering women marginal farmers in the tribal belts in India to significantly increase their income from 2015. Ganesh Neelam, Executive Director, Collectives for Integrated Livelihood Initiatives (CInI), a nodal agency of Tata Trusts, advocated various livelihood options in agriculture, livestock, non-timber forest resources and water conversation. Initially, CInI faced the challenge of getting the farmers to sign up for the programme due to lack of trust. CInI facilitators educated the farmers about the purpose of the initiative and the benefits they would accrue and built trust. CInI created awareness through knowledge-sharing sessions on best practices in agriculture. They formed self-help groups of farmers for decision-making and for easy access to capital. CInI established farmer producer organisations (FPOs) to bring in a business perspective among farmers. The farmers as Board members and executives ran the FPOs like commercial organisations. CInI built capabilities to create a sustainable and autonomous ecosystem that looked impressive. But still the programme was falling short of the desired target. The farmers were so far reluctant to move forward independently. Ganesh felt that the social business model that CInI had evolved needed a re-look to achieve a significant and lasting impact on the majority of the marginal farmers in India. Complexity academic level The case can be used in the organisation behaviour, human resource management courses and courses on social enterprises as part of the MBA or post-graduate management programme or in executive education programmes.

Full textAbstract:
This review of the main publications about the problems of Japanese archaeology (from Paleolithic epoch up to the period of Kofun culture) represents teaching materials for students with specialty in archaeology (within the course «Archaeology of overseas Asia») and with specialty in oriental studies (within the course «History and culture of Japan»). Taking into account the main task of this publication – namely, support for educational process – authors of this review, first of all, engaged most authoritative summarizing editions, because their conceptions and conclusions passed through necessary approbation and were maintained by the greater part of academic community. The main problems under discussion in Japanese archaeology are as follows: chronology of the first inhabitation of Archipelago; classification of the stone implements according technologies of production and ways of usage; early ceramics in the context of Northeast Asian archaeology; the origin of Ainu and their predecessors; beginning of agriculture and development of bronze and iron metallurgy; semantics of dogu and haniva figurines; characteristics of megalithic monuments; attribution of «horse-rider culture»; correlation between ethno-linguistic and archaeological data; using of historical records for interpretation of excavated relics; the routes of ancient migrations etc. As a result, this review of ancient past of Japan obviously demonstrates that so called isolation of insular population had quiet relative character. During thousands and thousands years, islanders came into contacts with bearers of different cultures of Eurasian mainland and island part of it, as well. The result of these permanent cultural exchanges served as foundation for creation of Japanese ethnos. In certain periods the contacts were more intensive along Northern, or Southern routes; the most significant way went through Korean Peninsula. For Siberian archaeologists the matter of special interest is represented by the finds of early ceramics on Honshu and in East Amur area; by analogies between cultures of Archipelago and Maritime regions of Russia (including Sakhalin and Kuril Islands) in Early Iron Age; by similarities between «Old-kurgans’ culture» at Japan and those in Central Asia. In selection of published materials for this review the preference was given to those available for teachers and students in the universities’ libraries or through free Internet access (published mostly in Russian and English as working languages).

Full textAbstract:
Online classes are not a brand-new concept in teaching languages. The use of Internet and different applications and platforms in everyday life all probably contributed to recognizing online classes as a convenient way for language teaching. There has been a plethora of research on online classes, their benefits and weaknesses, as well as on students' attitudes towards this type of learning. Since there are many benefits of integrating online materials into language teaching programmes, some language practitioners are eager to use these regularly, whereas some still hesitate and use this type of teaching rarely or not at all. However, the year 2020 forced all university teachers to conduct online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since it was impossible to conduct face-to-face instruction in classroom setting. This opened up new possibilities, but brought about various problems as well. Having all this in mind, this paper aims to show how university students perceived the online classes of English during the declared national state of emergency in Serbia. These particular students attended online English classes at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Belgrade, in the spring semester of 2020. An extensive, online questionnaire designed for the purposes of the study was used to examine students' opinions on various aspects of online classes, their assessment of important technical, contextual, and psychological factors in the process, as well as their motivation to participate in online classes. The results of the analysis show that the respondents were highly motivated for this type of English language classes. They predominantly positively assessed practically all analyzed aspects of online classes, including the observed equivalence of knowledge acquired in face-to-face and online classes, as well as the equal interactivity of both types of classes. The level of self-assessed digital literacy of respondents was fairly high, which must have helped students to a great extent in successively attending the classes. As for the main advantage of online classes, most respondents stated that they were able to attend classes from home, which saved their time and facilitated communication. They also liked the atmosphere in online language classes. The most commonly stated disadvantage of this type of classes is poor internet connection, followed by the related interruptions of sound and video. The dominant attitude of the respondents was that English classes at the university should be conducted as hybrid courses, which implies that they should be a combination of face-to-face teaching and online classes. Although small-scale, the findings of this pilot research can help pinpoint the weaknesses of online classes, as well as offer useful suggestions aimed at improving them in the future. For instance, since students mostly use their mobile phones to attend online classes, it would be convenient for the class activities to be accessible and manageable through different social media apps. Still, it may be argued that the findings are limited in scope since the study was conducted on the sample of students of only one faculty of the University of Belgrade; additionally, it explored the experience with only one online course these students attended. Therefore, the research may be expanded by exploring the potential of online classes in different subject courses, as well as at other faculties.

Case overview/synopsis Young, ambitious, in love with his native village "Kfarhouna", in Southern Lebanon, Fady Aziz, a branding specialist living in the capital Beirut, proposed in January 2016, in a friendly discussion, to the priest of the monastery of Saint-Georges to rent him an agricultural land. He aims to have a reason, at the end of the week, to go up in his village with his family. Skeptical to the idea, the priest accused him of "not understanding anything about agriculture" and challenged him to propose a valuable agricultural project likely to make him change his mind. M. Fady Aziz fought to meet this challenge which will allow him not only to reinvigorate his abandoned village but also to reconnect with his origins. He obtained the right to exploit a plot of land belonging to the Monastery of St. Georges. He had the idea of planting thyme and transformed his "hobby" into the outset of a long journey where his products crossed the borders, under a purely artisanal brand: "The Good Thymes". Today, M. Aziz is facing a new challenge: Would he be able to fulfill all these orders and remain faithful to the philosophy that led him to invest in his village without impairing the natural and artisanal aspect of his thyme?

SynopsisThe successful utilisation of recent advances in plant biotechnology for the benefit of mankind, with the avoidance of fundamental mistakes that could lead to environmental disaster, requires wise and balanced legislation. In addition, the conservation of the habitats and germplasm so essential to plant breeding requires carefully planned management of resources. These, however, depend upon an informed public with a sensitivity to, and knowledge and understanding of, the issues at stake. It is the people, after all, who influence decision making by governments, through the ballot box or through the pressure of public opinion. Botanic Gardens have a vital role to play in public education, and have the capacity to become the shop windows for the whole of plant science.Four examples of public education in plant biology being developed at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh are considered, as follows:(i) Public information, as exemplified by the provision of information about plants, lectures about plants and the development of ecological plantings and displays relating to agriculture, plant breeding and conservation.(ii) Contact through art, as exemplified by the Andy Goldsworthy retrospective exhibition of 1990 and the 1991 exhibitions of the work of Redouté and Margaret Stones, in which the media of sculpture and painting inspired by the natural world have been used to build bridges between plant science and the wider public.(iii) Education in primary schools, as exemplified by the ‘Living in a Rainforest’ project, in which young people and their teachers spend periods of time in a replica of a Bornean longhouse and through this experience develop an understanding of the importance of the balance between people and the complex ecosystem of the rainforest.(iv) Education in secondary schools, as exemplified by the Science and Plants for Schools project in which rapid cycling Brassica rapa and other materials are used in the development of new and exciting approaches to the teaching of experimental plant science, genetics and breeding.The ways in which projects such as these can be designed to convey important messages concerning plant breeding, genetic engineering, germplasm and habitat conservation and the role of plants in the world economy are discussed, and ideas for other approaches to public education in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh are outlined.

Full textAbstract:
Soil amendments have been found to have a long-term effect on soil either positively or negatively, several soil management researches have been able to establish that sole application of inorganic fertilizer particularly nitrogen fertilizers can leave residual hydrogen ions in the soil which causes soil acidity over time. This study investigated the residual effects of different soil amendments of Palm Oil Mill Effluents (POME), cow dung, and NPK fertilizer, on soil chemical properties in two locations: Ekiti State University Teaching and Research Farm (EKSU) and Onu-Ijelu High School Agricultural Farm. The aim is to evaluate the long-term impact of these commonly used organic and inorganic nutrient sources on soil properties. The research utilizes a randomized complete block deign replicated three times to test the residual effect of the treatments. The research was divided into first and second trial, the result presented here is based on the outcome of the second trial. At the termination of the residual trial, it was found that organic matter contents of soils treated with cow-dung and POME increased while that of the NPK fertilizer reduced. There was a decrease in soil pH on soils treated with NPK fertilizer but found to increase on soils treated with POME and cow-dung. Other nutrient elements including exchangeable cations were also found to increase in soils with POME and Cow-dung. This phenomenon was attributed to mineralization process which made nutrients stored-up in these organic materials to be released slowly and at the same time reducing their loss from the soil. It was concluded that nutrients from organic sources have a longer residual advantage to soil and can be used in combination with inorganic fertilizer for better soil management. The findings from these result provides valuable insights into the long-term effect of these soil amendments and can help farmers and researchers make informed decisions about their appropriate and sustainable use in agriculture.

Learning outcomes This case study outlines the marketing, strategic and organizational issues facing the ever-expanding agri-inputs market in India, through the perspective of Agroy – an agri-products company. This case can be used to assist in the teaching courses such as marketing management, rural marketing, business strategy, operations and logistics management, among others, for students of MBA or other specialized courses in management. The case has been developed to make students aware and to understand the arduous nature of setting up a company catering to the huge Indian agri-inputs market. This case delves into the complexities of marketing in rural India that is characterized by low technological awareness, low volumes of digital transactions and immense language barriers. The Indian agricultural market is huge and has undergone a considerable amount of change owing to competition among multinational companies and traditional local micro-retailers. This case discusses the various challenges faced by multinational companies in entering India and how they need to strategize to modify their Western model of a distribution channel which faces huge challenges when put to test in India. Specific learning outcomes include: the case study would help students to comprehend the new business strategies that an MNC could adopt in emerging markets. Some companies work on changing traditional and conventional value chains of activities to fit the emerging market customer’s best and hence companies needs to figure out a unique business model to compete in emerging markets. This case study gives readers the opportunity to think about strategy in an uncertain environment. The case illustrates the challenges associated with innovating new business ideas that would help the company serve a greater number of people from a diverse background. It highlights the importance of thinking about real options, a portfolio of projects and the type of organizational structure required to tackle the uncertainties associated with foreign companies aiming to enter the Indian market. It also explores marketing and distribution issues – which are the type of customers to target and which are the suitable geographic areas with suitable linguistic compatibility in which there shall be ease in doing business. Finally, it is an avenue for students to think about the changes necessary throughout the distribution channel to successfully implement and commercialize a project in rural India. The case is intended to work well as a learning tool for strategy implementation where uncertainty is inherent and as an application to lectures on real options and risk or for discussions related to marketing and distribution channels and its challenges. Case overview/synopsis The Indian agricultural market plays an important role in India’s economy having a staggering 58 per cent of rural households depending on it as the principal means of livelihood. However they have very small landholdings, and hence, they find it difficult to order either large quantities or in bulk, as a result of which the cost of agricultural inputs gets enhanced. Agroy, an MNC, is one of the many companies that have stepped in to bridge this gap by trying to tap into the huge agricultural market. Agroy aspires to be the “UBER of agriculture.” Agroy is a cloud-based buying platform for farmers to buy agri-inputs efficiently at scale and at the best price from around the world. With big data and smart farming, the company aims to enhance farm sustainability and productivity. Agroy’s competitors like Agro Star and Big Heart also have similar business models and hence the competition is stiff. The three debatable questions that the case poses are: Will Agroy be able to shatter the age-old loyalty that Indian farmers have toward local retailers and other Indian companies that have an existing strong foothold in the market? Will similar distribution models as practiced in developed Western countries work in India, given the distribution challenges in deep rural Indian hinterland? Will Agroy be able to create sustainable business models by marketing agri-inputs at low prices in India?

Case overview/synopsis Creative Design was a start-up company in Taiwan. To fulfill a course requirement while she was still in school, the founder had formed a team and entered an entrepreneurship competition. They won the second runner up award in that competition and impressed some firms who enquired if they would be interested in doing corporate identity system (CIS) design. They discovered that without establishing a corporate structure their prospective clients would be unable to pay an invoice. As a consequence, the founder and one of the team members established Creative Design Ltd. This case discusses the challenge Creative Design faced at the end of 2012. Wonderland farmers’ association (WFA) wanted to market locally grown jasmine but did not know how to go about it. They reached out to the founder and her company for assistance. The case of WFA was uncharted territory. Creative Design already had extensive experience in CIS design, but it did not have any experience in handling agriculture products. In this case, they had to deal with the full supply chain from production to exhibition. The risk for this project was high but Creative Design accepted the case and became the first design firm offering a “total solution.” Currently, Creative Design works with all kinds of cases, from simple CIS designs to more complicated total solutions of various scales. The founder now has to contemplate if the design house should develop more total solution cases. Doing so would require recruiting more staff and the dilemma of balancing revenue and costs.
