Growing Coffee While Investing in Timber: Scientific Evidence from Community Plantations in Deli Serdang

For years, forest farmers have adhered to an unwritten rule: timber trees should never share land with other crops if they are expected to reach their full growth potential. The belief was that their roots and canopies would compete for sunlight, water, and soil nutrients, ultimately reducing growth. This assumption discouraged many farmers from planting timber trees alongside food or cash crops, despite having limited land and the need to secure a steady source of income. For farming families, this was never merely a theoretical debate—it was a question of how to keep food on the table while saving for their children's future through timber that would only be harvested years later. Amid the coffee plantations of local farmers in Hutan Rakyat Citra Pesona Ladangku, Deli Serdang, that long-standing uncertainty has finally been answered through scientific evidence.

Tapeworm Risks Behind an Extreme Culinary Tradition in Simalungun

A research team from the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), led by Prof. Dr. dr. Dewi Masyithah Darlan, successfully identified Raya Kahean District, Simalungun Regency, as a new endemic hotspot for Taenia asiatica tapeworm infection in North Sumatra. Through stool sample examinations of 428 residents, the study revealed a high taeniasis prevalence rate of 21.7%, with the primary risk factor being the consumption of raw or undercooked liver from domestic pigs and wild boars. Molecular confirmation using Multiplex PCR testing and phylogenetic analysis concluded that the circulating parasite is an ancient hybrid descendant of T. asiatica and T. saginata. These findings highlight the urgent need for sanitation interventions, public education on safe food practices, and mass treatment programs by local health authorities to prevent further transmission.

Breaking Through Patriarchal Barriers: The Struggle of Batak Toba Women to Defend Their Rights to Customary Land

A collaborative study led by an interdisciplinary research team from Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) examines the resilience of Batak Toba women in managing and defending their rights to customary land (pauseang) under the dominance of patriarchal culture. Through a qualitative approach involving 180 informants across six regencies in North Sumatra, the study reveals the existence of a “safety valve” mechanism within customary law, while also highlighting vulnerabilities within state legal systems (land certificate legality) and the growing threat of modern agrarian conflicts caused by the rising economic value of land in the Lake Toba region. This article serves as an important reflection on strengthening the role of customary institutions and formulating gender-equitable spatial planning policies.
