Industry 5.0: Sustainable Business Practices for a Bright Future

In an age where sustainable development is paramount, North Sumatra's rich tapestry of natural resources and diverse ecosystems is both a blessing and a challenge. As we confront the dual pressures of environmental degradation and the growing demand for food and energy, it becomes essential to rethink and innovate beyond traditional practices. This book aims to provide an insightful examination of these critical issues. It also aims to offer a comprehensive update on the status and prospects of the efforts on the region's sustainability. This book is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who are committed to understanding and addressing the complex interdependencies between natural resources, environmental health, and the food and energy security sectors in North Sumatra. North Sumatra's natural resources, from its lush forests to its abundant marine life, are integral to the region's economy and the well-being of its communities. However, the traditional ways of managing these resources are increasingly proving insufficient in the face of climate change, population growth, and industrialization. To ensure the long-term security of food and energy, we must embrace innovative practices that not only protect but also enhance our natural environments. But it faces significant challenges that demand urgent and innovative solutions.
