The Russian–Ukrainian conflict has been proven to cause significant losses of life and goods on both sides. This may have potentially impacted the agricultural sector. This study examines the impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the global food situation. We performed a descriptive analysis and literature review to answer this objective. Russia and Ukraine play essential roles in world food production and trade. However, the war has disrupted food production in Ukraine. Estimated Ukrainian wheat, soybean, and maize production in 2022–2023 fell precipitously. On the other hand, Russian production of these three food products shows positive growth during the same period. Furthermore, the global supply chain and food trade are hampered, causing an increase in the world’s food prices. From March to May 2022, the average global price of wheat, soybeans, and maize increased dramatically compared to during and before the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, this poses a danger to global food security, particularly for low-income countries that depend heavily on food imports from both countries. Therefore, all countries must be prepared for the possibility that the Sustainable Development Goals cannot be achieved.

Agro-tourism is a combination of tourism and farming activities that can be a solution to increase farmer income beyond production quantity’s value. Excellent service quality is the first step to agrotourism success. Therefore, this study analyses the Kampoeng Kopi Banaran agro-tourism’s service quality. The SERVQUAL, Importance Performance Analysis (IPA), and Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) methods are applied to estimate the service quality performance. Results suggest that Kampoeng Kopi Banaran agrotourism’s service quality is unsatisfactorily by the SERVQUAL method. On the other hand, the IPA method measures that there are five attributes in quadrant I (keep up the good work), five attributes in quadrant II (concentrate here), six attributes in quadrant III (low priority), and seven attributes in quadrant IV (possible overkill). The CSI method found out that customers are not satisfied with the agro-tourism service. It is necessary to improve the service quality by the provision of science and technology that facilitates visitors to learn and understand more about the environment and processes within this agro-tourism site.

Several policy aspects in the development of organic rice farming are referred to here. The first aspect; The sustainability of either the national standard or the standard operating language for organic procedures does not have legality, meaning that the government is still in the inland process for assistance that will be provided to organic farmers, both guidance and supervision as well as competent institutions that will be involved. The second aspect; Farmer group institutions have not contributed much in the planning process of organic rice farmer activities in villages and are more focused on inorganic agriculture, but on the other hand, the RPJMDes dominance has been included in the document even though the realization is still considered unsatisfactory for all parties. Prime program planning can still be improved, its coordination and scope can be expanded across SKPD networks across actors / agencies, planning program needs to support organic farming in villages and in general Bantaeng Regency.
