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,
Lailatul Azkiyah, S.TP., M.P., Ph.D.

Students from the Study Program of Agricultural Product Technology (THP), Universitas Jember (UNEJ), have arrived in Malaysia to participate in a Student Exchange Program at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). The program provides an international learning experience that allows students to broaden their academic perspectives while experiencing Malaysian culture and academic life firsthand.
The student exchange program is designed to support students' development beyond the classroom through cultural understanding, academic growth, language skills, personal development, and global networking. By studying and interacting in an international academic environment, THP students have the opportunity to gain new perspectives on agricultural product technology and related fields.
During the program, students will engage with the academic environment at UMT and interact with students and members of the university community. These activities are expected to encourage knowledge sharing and cross-cultural communication while strengthening students' confidence in working in an international setting.
Beyond academic activities, the program offers students an opportunity to experience Malaysia's diverse cultural environment. Direct interaction with people from different cultural backgrounds can strengthen students' intercultural awareness, adaptability, and communication skills—competencies that are increasingly important in today's globalized food and agricultural industries.
The exchange program also provides an opportunity for students to establish international networks with fellow students, academics, and other members of the UMT community. These connections may support future academic collaboration, research activities, and professional opportunities.
Through the Student Exchange Program at UMT, THP students are expected to return to UNEJ with broader academic perspectives, stronger international competencies, and valuable experiences that will contribute to their personal and professional development.
The participation of THP students in this international program further demonstrates the Study Program's commitment to providing students with global learning experiences and preparing future agricultural product technology professionals to contribute at both national and international levels.

Elen Bethania Pasaribu has been recognized as the Best Researcher in the Indofood Riset Nugraha (IRN) 2025–2026, marking a significant achievement in student research and innovation. Congratulations on your achievement from the Study Program of Agricultural Product Technology (PS THP), Universitas Jember (UNEJ).
Elen received recognition for her research entitled “Inovasi Pengembangan Keju Oles Instan Nabati Berbasis Edamame (Glycine max L. Merrill.) dan Ubi Jalar Kuning (Ipomoea batatas L.) sebagai Alternatif Pangan Bebas Laktosa.” The research focuses on developing an instant plant-based spreadable cheese using edamame and yellow sweet potato as key raw materials, offering an alternative food product designed to be free from lactose.
Jember has a well-established reputation as one of Indonesia's major edamame production and processing centers. The Indonesian government has previously described Jember as a center for edamame development, with companies such as PT Mitratani Dua Tujuh and PT Gading Mas Indonesia Teguh (GMIT) operating in the area. The connection is particularly strong because Jember's edamame is not limited to cultivation. It has developed an integrated value chain, including processing and export. PT Mitratani Dua Tujuh, for example, identifies Japanese soybean/edamame as its main commodity and exports edamame internationally. The company has also developed products from other crops, including sweet potato.
The research was conducted under the supervision of Lita Meilina, M.Si. Through this research, Elen explores the potential of locally available plant-based commodities to support food innovation and the development of alternative products with added value.
The achievement in the IRN 2025–2026 program highlights the importance of innovative research in addressing emerging food needs while encouraging the utilization of Indonesian agricultural resources. It also demonstrates the potential of student-led research to contribute to the development of innovative and sustainable food products.
This recognition is expected to further motivate students and researchers to pursue innovative research that connects scientific knowledge with real-world food and agricultural challenges.
