Evidence I :
Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya enhance its supply chain by collaborating with local farmers to source crab sustainably, ensuring that the procurement process supports local economies while minimizing environmental impact thereby adding significant value to the community. This partnership not only supports local economies but also fosters entrepreneurial opportunities for farmers, empowering them to adopt sustainable aquaculture practices that improve the quality of their harvests. By facilitating the purchase of crab directly from these farmers, the university can create a model for responsible consumption that encourages students to engage in and learn about sustainable practices. This initiative can inspire entrepreneurial ventures among students, such as developing sustainable food products or businesses focused on ethical sourcing, creating a market for locally produced goods. Beside that, RUTS further enriches this value chain by integrating educational programs by involving the farmers in “Agriculture Fair” to provide students and farmers with skills in sustainable farming techniques, business management, and marketing. This holistic approach not only promotes responsible consumption but also strengthens community ties, enhances food security, and drives innovation within the local economy.
