    Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of demographic factors on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and the diverse perspectives held by students at different higher education institutions (HEIs) in China. This study aims to advance ESD and contribute to achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals with five years remaining. Design/methodology/approach – This study examines 706 students from five HEIs using a convergent mixed-methods approach. A Likert scale assessed ESD levels and demographics, with t-tests and ANOVA analysing demographic influences. Thematic analysis of open-ended responses explored students’ ESD perspectives. Findings – HEI students in China show high awareness of ESD. Significant differences were found based on age, gender, institution, academic level, major and GPA, whereas education level and residence showed no impact. A gap remains between ESD awareness and actual behaviour. Research limitations/implications – Future research should explore more demographic variables, include diverse education levels and expand globally. Multi-source questionnaires are recommended for greater depth and comprehensiveness. Practical implications – The study highlights the need to bridge the awareness–behaviour gap through experiential learning, curriculum integration, faculty training and supportive policies. Originality/value – This study is the first to explore the impact of demographics on HEI students’ ESD perspectives in China, using qualitative questions to enrich quantitative findings.

    Results revealed that the respondents needed training courses for fish crackers, dried fish strips, sour pickled fish, fish sausage, and fermented fish. They needed a 1-2 days training course at the training place in the village during the off-season for rice growing. The participants should be around 21-30 persons and the training program that informed at least one week in advance. Training activities should focus on actual practice (91.50%) and the training organizer must be responsible for expenses (99.02%). Each time of the training should have only one topic (x̅= 3.55; S.D = 1.08). Assessment through observation during the training should be done (x̅= = 3.77; S.D. = 0.58) and assessment after the training must be conducted (x̅ =3.75, S.D. = 0.79), For the training session, it should include demonstration (x̅ = 4.23, S.D. = 0.67) actual practice (x̅ = 4. 40, S.D. = 0 . 61) and diverse use of media (x̅ = 4. 29, S.D. = 0.68). According to the comparison, there was a statistical difference between the needs for training and the socio-economic attributes of the respondents. The latter included sex, educational attainment, farmer group membership, number of household labor, and debts or sources of loans. A training course for value-added processing of freshwater fish has tended to develop for future training sessions with farmers.

    The effect of nighttime supplemental lighting using different colored light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the growth and yield of cos lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) was investigated. Red LED light significantly enhanced plant height (20.54 cm) compared to other colors and a control group without supplemental light (17.84-19.74 cm). While red light also produced the highest average leaf count (17.25 leaves)It was not statistically different from other light treatments, though it surpassed the control (13.25 leaves). Notably, red LED light was significantly increased in fresh weight yield (83.0 g) and all other treatments which averaged from 49.45 to 73.75 g). These findings demonstrated that the red LED light's superior efficacy to promote the growth and yield of cos lettuce. Practical application of this technology in a field trial through the Future Farmers of Thailand Organization in Phetchaburi province resulted to increase yield of 20%, which accompanied by high participant satisfaction with the potential of cos lettuce production for future careers.

    The results were found that guidelines for developing agricultural resources emphasized the local community participation to promote agro-tourism. There was a group formation to create activities focusing on positive and negative impacts, participation, and self-reliance. Tourism was used as a medium for arranging the management activities of agricultural resources and care-taking of natural resources, benefiting the community and creating value-added agricultural yields. Potential agricultural resources included the value of the body of knowledge, innovation, agricultural wisdom, the value of physical and biological aspects of agriculture, and agricultural resources management by farmers. Meanwhile, potential agricultural resources for tourism included creating and managing agro-tourism attractions. It was also found that the data providers on the potential agricultural resources and tourism potential were statistically significance differed at 0.05 level. It was also found that the difference in the data provider groups affected the various essential supporting services of agro-tourism attractions and agricultural resources with a statistical significance level at 0.05 level. Besides, it was found that the farmer group had different opinions in potentially agricultural resources based on supporting services of agro-tourism attractions compared to the tourism group with a statistical significance at 0.05 level. Moreover, those supporting and promoting agro-tourism had different opinions compared to the farmers' group, with a statistical significance at 0.01 level. An agricultural resource management model for agro-tourism promotion consisted of four main components: 1) management participation, 2) efficiency service, 3) potential, and 4) value and attraction.
