Preface

The International Conference on Agricultural and Sustainability in Blue Economy (ICASBE) 2025 was held as a scientific forum to foster discussion and share innovations under the theme "Agrotechnology as a Sustainability Solution: Building a Community-Based Blue Economy."This theme reflects a growing awareness of the importance of communitybased approaches in leveraging agrotechnology to address pressing environmental and socioeconomic challenges, particularly in coastal and agricultural settings.ICASBE 2025 brought together researchers, academics, and practitioners from four countries-Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Turkey.The diversity of participants enriched the discourse by offering varied perspectives on how science, technology, and community engagement can intersect to create sustainable solutions.The conference featured contributions on a wide range of topics, including food product innovation, environmental conservation, marine ecosystem protection, women's economic empowerment, smart farming technology, and public service transformation.These works not only advance academic knowledge but also provide tangible benefits to local communities.All submitted works were organized under three major focus areas: Blue Economy, Agricultural Technology, and Biodiversity, Ecosystem, and Sustainability.The range and depth of the research demonstrate the strong commitment of participating scholars to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those concerning environmental protection, innovation, and inclusive community development.The organizing committee sincerely thanks all authors, keynote speakers, reviewers, and partners for their invaluable contributions to the success of this conference.We are especially grateful for the collaboration with our publication partners to ensure that the outcomes of ICASBE 2025 are widely accessible through indexed proceedings.We hope this conference serves as a foundation for further interdisciplinary and international collaboration in building a sustainable and equitable future.
