Shaping Innovation for Global Food and Agricultural Challenges
Global challenges in food and agriculture, both scientific and technological, continue to demand bold ideas, cutting-edge innovations, and future-ready human resources. Higher education institutions play a strategic role in responding to these challenges by building strong foundations in knowledge, technology, and skills, while advancing adaptive, creative, and globally oriented mindsets.
The Agricultural Product Technology (THP) Study Program at the University of Jember is committed to developing excellent graduates and impactful research that contribute to sustainable food systems and agricultural innovation. We actively facilitate international exposure for our teaching staff and students through academic mobility, research collaboration, and overseas learning experiences at leading national and international universities. This global engagement strengthens adaptability, enhances academic quality, and drives innovation in teaching and learning amid rapid technological transformation.
Our study program conducts a wide range of innovative and competitive research addressing real-world challenges in food and agricultural technology. Beyond academic competition, we place strong value on knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the integration of diverse perspectives. We encourage industry practitioners, communities, and policymakers to benefit from and apply our research outcomes to create tangible societal impact. We firmly believe that high-quality research is a key instrument in combating hunger and advancing food security, in line with the mission of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Addressing global food challenges is a long-term endeavor. However, through strategic partnerships with food industries, research institutions, government agencies, universities, and other stakeholders, we are confident in our ability to deliver meaningful solutions. We warmly invite partners from around the world to collaborate with us through student exchange programs, joint research initiatives, community service projects, and other innovative academic activities.
Excellence is our priority. Collaboration is our strength. Innovation is our future.
Warm regards,

A team consisting of Zakia Nur Faiza, Yenia Ayu Marini, and Nayla Maharani Rizki, won 5th place in the LKTIN 2026 with their project, Inovasi Kopi Fungsional Berbasis Fermentasi Presisi untuk Meningkatkan Antioksidan dan Preferensi Sensorik (Innovation of Functional Coffee Utilizing Precision Fermentation to Enhance Antioxidant Levels and Sensory Preference).
Their project introduces a significant breakthrough for the coffee industry by utilizing precise fermentation techniques to create functional coffee rich in antioxidants. This method optimally breaks down complex organic compounds in coffee, allowing for the release of phenolic compounds. "Lactic acid bacteria produce essential extracellular enzymes that hydrolyze these complex compounds, releasing free phenolics and flavonoids, which enhance the antioxidant capacity," explains Zakia.
Competing in the Science category, the COFFEE team, mentored by Asmak Afriliana, Ph.D., showcased an outstanding presentation and discussion during the competition held on 10-13 March 2026. “We put all the effort into this competition, and I am deeply grateful for my supervisor,” says Yenia. “I did my best for our team, and I am proud that our efforts were appreciated,” Nayla said.
Sometimes winning is not something that we expect, but in a scientific event, connecting the students across disciplines and cultures is more valuable. Again, congratulations!!!

Last week, HIMAGIHASTA’s staff gathered at Argapara Hall, PTPN XII Glantangan, for the communities’ empowerment. It was full of real conversations centered around the relationship between staff and reviving organizational and collaborative spirits. It was a good reminder that the spirit of the group is key to succeeding in HIMAGIHASTA’s projects this year.
The gathering featured an impressive speaker, Lailatul Azkiyah, S.TP., M.P., Ph.D., who is the head of the THP study program. She provided valuable insights on how to embody the spirit of collaboration in every project. "Engaging all the HIMAGIHASTA staff in each project fosters a sense of responsibility among individuals. It not only showcases their ideas and talents but also demonstrates how they can work together to shape the future of HIMAGIHASTA," she stated.
In an open discussion session, Filandika Ari Pangestu emphasized that "the most pressing challenge in managing this organization is maintaining the consistent spirit of the staff. It is normal for one or more staff members to progress more slowly than expected on an ongoing project due to the demanding schedules of classes and practical work. However, open communication among staff is strongly encouraged to address these situations."
This gathering marks HIMAGIHASTA's effort to unite staff and strengthen teamwork, creating impactful upcoming projects.
