“…The reference for the validity of “Engel's law” is Houthakker ( 71 ), but Chai and Moneta ( 72 ) can be also consulted for a useful retrospective on Engel's work. Moreover, Chattopadhyay et al ( 73 ) used Engel's law to develop a mathematical model that can be applied as a tool for economic policy formulation. In addition, Lancaster ( 74 ) proposed an alternative view on the consumer theory, that the goods are, in fact, a collection of characteristics.…”

Nowadays, the world has been characterized by hunger, obesity, and food loss and waste (FLW). With the COVID-19 pandemic, the food issue became more intense, serious, and evident. Hunger demands urgent actions. Obesity levels have been raised and are removing health and quality of life from the population. Production planting practices and the food supply chain are not necessarily ecologically friendly. Sustainability issues greatly intensify social problems. As well as food loss (FL), food waste (FW), and sustainability concerns, obesity, and malnutrition are enhanced due to the lack of knowledge by the population. Processed food (PF), packaging, and additives, despite still needing improvement, are essential to food security control. Nowadays, hunger is not due to insufficient agricultural practices but rather to inequality and absence of adequate public policies. In the context of a certain abundance of food production and processing, the hunger scenario in contrast to FLW is an ethical, social, moral, and sustainable issue. In this context, a Food-Based Dietary Guideline (FBDG) can be an important public policy tool from the health, nutrition, environmental, and educational points of view. Despite the effort, the literature shows that FBDGs can be better used to fulfill healthiness and sustainability purposes. In this scenario, the elaboration/revision of the FBDG, adopting a clearer, simpler, and a better-suited communication strategy is essential. In this way, this article discusses the importance of the FBDG as a public policy tool, not only regarding health issues but also communication strategies, production sustainability, and humanitarian ones, which are crucial to FBDG's efficiency.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is generating new horizons in one of the biggest challenges in the world’s society—poverty. Our goal is to investigate utilities of AI in poverty prediction via finding answers to the following research questions: (1) How many papers on utilities of AI in poverty prediction were published up until March, 2022? (2) Which approach to poverty was applied when AI was used for poverty prediction? (3) Which AI methods were applied for predicting poverty? (4) What data were used for poverty prediction via AI? (5) What are the advantages and disadvantages of the created AI models for poverty prediction? In order to answer these questions, we selected twenty-two papers using appropriate keywords and the exclusion criteria and analyzed their content. The selection process identified that, since 2016, publications on AI applications in poverty prediction began. Results of our research illustrate that, during this relatively short period, the application of AI in predicting poverty experienced a significant progress. Overall, fifty-seven AI methods were applied during the analyzed span, among which the most popular one was random forest. It was revealed that with the adoption of AI tools, the process of poverty prediction has become, from one side, quicker and more accurate and, from another side, more advanced due to the creation and possibility of using different datasets. The originality of this work is that this is the first sophisticated survey of AI applications in poverty prediction.

Salah satu strategi untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat di pedesaan adalah dengan melakukan rekayasa sosial pada komoditi pertanian yang selama ini masih dikembangkan oleh masyarakat. Di Desa Warjabakti Kecamatan Cimaung, Kabupaten Bandung rekayasa sosial yang dipilih adalah dengan memasukkan komoditi tanaman jeruk ini telah membuka peluang untuk pengembangan bisnis berbasis pertanian bagi masyarakat. Salah satu rencana pengembangan desa yang diketahui adalah dengan menjadikan desa Warjabakti ini sebagai salah satu desa wisata yang ada di Kabupaten Bandung. Dengan adanya komoditi tanaman jeruk tersebut, peluang pengembangan desa menjadi desa wisata tersebut semakin terbuka terutama jika dijadikan destinasi agrowisata dengan wisata unggulannya adalah petik jeruk. Pada kegiatan ini, metode yang dipilih adalah assessement melalui pemetaan sosial, penggunaan metode ini memungkinkan untuk dilakukan identifikasi persoalan dengan teknik transek, pemetaan lokasi, pohon masalah, serta diskusi terfokus dengan idiologi pendidikan pembebasan Paulo Freire. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini telah berhasil memberikan masukan bagi masyarakat mengenai strategi-strategi dan rencana pengembangan yang perlu dilakukan. Selain itu, sejauh ini desa ini sudah mulai dikenal sebagai desa wisata petik jeruk, meskipun hal tersebut masih menyebar dari mulut ke mulut, akan tetapi hal tersebut telah memberikan keuntungan bagi masyarakat karena tidak lagi kesulitan untuk memasarkan hasil panen jeruknya.
