Summary of EDOM Results for the Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Program, Phase 1, Genap Semester, Academic Year 2025/2026:  http://ugm.id/EDOMTahapIEPAGenap20252026 

Action Plan: 

Improvements in learning quality are based on relatively lower-level indicators, such as the appropriateness of the workload and quizzes, the alignment of exam questions with the course material, students’ level of understanding, and their motivation to learn. Improvement efforts include updating the RPKPS, reminding students about it, implementing active learning methods like case-based learning and interactive discussions, and emphasizing the availability of digital materials on Google Classroom. Also, we are changing how we evaluate learning outcomes and reviewing exam questions with peers, while providing quicker and more helpful feedback to students. We will enrich course materials with real-world agribusiness cases and feature industry practitioners as guest speakers to enhance motivation and the relevance of learning. All these activities will be regularly monitored by the academic program and the quality assurance team as part of continuous quality improvement efforts to enhance student satisfaction and graduate learning outcomes. read more

This moment marks an important milestone in his academic journey and in his scholarly contributions to the development of Indonesia’s agricultural economy.

Food is not merely viewed as an economic commodity but also possesses strong social, political, and cultural dimensions. Amid global uncertainties such as climate change, supply chain disruptions, and price fluctuations, a self-reliant food system is key to ensuring a country does not depend on external parties. Additionally, he highlighted the importance of improving farmers’ welfare through enhanced market access, more efficient input costs, and adequate infrastructure support, using a cross-sectoral approach. read more
