Riza Arief Putranto, PhD brought “Agro-Industrial Technology in Oil Palm Disease Control: The Ganoderma Experience” for the live lecture. He explained well from the basic concept about Ganoderma disease until the advanced technology that could apply to control this oil palm disease. Moreover, not only talked about the integrated pest control for Ganoderma disease and the insertion of detection technology, but he also tried to elaborate it to the future gene of planting materials. Furthermore, Mr. Riza was not only lecturing, but he left with great messages for us that remind us about how important integrated pest control is for Ganoderma, yet, it was still facing the strictly implemented challenge due to the several protocols that have to follow. Besides that, he also encouraged us to find the curative treatment for BSR/USR, even though it is tricky.

After relaxing for a while, the participants served with the next incredible session that talked about “Addressing Socio-environmental Problems by Developing Agricultural Sector: Transdisciplinary Practical Research in Gorontalo, Indonesia”. Andi Patiware Metaragakusuma, Ph.D. detailed the topics with the explanation from the introduction to RIHN and SRIREP Project. She elaborated the topic with socio-environmental problems in ASGM (Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining) areas. The session ended by sharing about the developing agricultural sector through transdisciplinary practical research in sorghum because the participants in Gorontalo want sorghum production to support their household economy. By this moment, she also brought up one of Indonesia’s commodities that can be alternative food diversification of rice or carbohydrate, sorghum, hence, it can be excellent food for future sustainability. Otherwise, TDCOPs (Transdisciplinary Community of Practices) sorghum challenges agricultural engineering and agro-industry for sorghum sustainability in the future.

The first of two last sessions after lunch break was a lecture session with Prof. Tsai-Chi Kuo talked about “The New Challenges and Opportunity of Sustainability”. He brought the topics up by considering the environmental threats problem. He also mentioned Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The participants were so enthusiastic and it showed in a question-and-answer session. The participant and the speaker discussed the 3D food printing treatment if there are any characteristics. The speaker talked more about the treatment of 3D food printing according to the material, compounds. It brings a different process, different material, so different machines to create the 3D printing product. The conclusion from Mr. Herianto is that the technology of food printing can represent a remarkable innovation because the potential of the technology can revolutionize various aspects of the culinary and food industry and also can anticipate a future where it has a pivotal role in producing, consuming, and experiencing food.

After the first session, the participants joined the breakout room to discuss with their group. The topic of discussion is commodity or industry and gives ideas of technology innovation that can bring up and push the agroindustrial sector in society 5.0. All the participants were divided into 12 groups. All groups have approximately 30 minutes to discuss and brainstorm their topic. In this discussion session, the participants can develop their analytical thinking skills to brainstorm and analyze the idea from the perspective of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the technology.

The series on the second day of the 5th Summer Course is continued by the second session speaker from Dr. Winny Routray from National Institute of Technology of Rourkela. The main topic discussed in this session is food engineering and post-harvest processing of spices. This topic is talked about spices, which is a product that has a lot of functions such as adding flavor and scents to foods. The product is made from spices such as essential oil. The highest exporters of spices are India, Vietnam, China, Indonesia, and Madagascar, while the highest importers of spices are USA, Germany, and Vietnam. Another important part of optimizing spices products is the packaging. The packaging must consider moisture, oxygen, aroma loss, hygroscopic in nature, pest attack, and weeds in the rainy season. The packaging may contain polyethylene linen and double gunny for bulk packaging. To sustain the production of the spice in the field, some toxins can affect the product such as mycotoxin (ochratoxin), and factors from pre-harvesting, harvesting, and post-harvesting. The solution by the advanced processing method of whole spices, spices powder, and paste such are the drying process using microwave and sterilization process using gamma rays, hydrostatic high pressure, and low-pressure cold plasma. This second session is closed by the certificate submission documentation with the speaker.

The lecture was continued by Dr. Suchada Rianmora from SIIT, Thammasat University, Thailand. The main topic in this session is the product design approach for the agroindustrial sector. The speaker explained that the key considerations of product design and development are to set up “the reference” situation, identify “key components or objects”, and create “a conceptual design” by starting a new journey of product design and development. Also, the participants have new insight and knowledge about developing products and minimizing the gap between high technology and the user in reality. In the processes to develop product design, there are some tools and equipment that can be used such as robots, remodifying and development, and supporting customer satisfaction. Implementation in reality we can do a site survey to take examples and find the case studies. The conclusion in this topic is we should understand and know what the customer needs or should be customer-centric. After that, some participants offered some questions to be discussed with Dr. Suchada Rianmora. All of the elaboration from the speaker gives more perception to the participants.
