This study explores the design, production, and installation of 3D-printed modular artificial reefs (3DMARs) at Koh Khai, Chumphon Province, Thailand, through a design thinking framework. Collaborating with SCG Co., Ltd. and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, the research establishes design criteria and installation methods, utilizing content analysis and qualitative research. Key principles such as modularity, flexibility, environmental sustainability, and usability are identified. The user-centered approach optimizes the 3DMARs for transport and deployment, enabling local community involvement and fostering sustainable practices. The modular design supports scalability, enhancing marine habitats and coral larval settlement. Furthermore, underwater monitoring techniques enable site-specific data collection, allowing for the generation of digital twin models. This research offers a practical framework for marine ecosystem restoration and empowers coastal communities in Thailand and beyond

This research investigates active packaging films made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nanocellulose fibers (NFC), incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from Terminalia chebula extract, which possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties. The developed films were tested for their mechanical properties, microbial inhibition, and biodegradability. The results showed that the addition of AgNPs from Terminalia chebula enhanced product protection and effectively extended the shelf life of strawberries while being environmentally friendly.

Agricultural products and by-products are important raw materials in various industries including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Agro-based fibers have the composition, properties and structure that make them suitable for uses as composite-cosmetic industry. Upon microwave digestion, cellulose have been successfully synthesized into nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) with lengths from 50-1000 nm, widths between 5-70 nm. Nanocrystalline cellulose was grafted with cosmetic active ingredients such as glycerin), sodium hyaluronate), glycolic acid, and nicotinamide. The beauty active ingredients attached nanocelluloses can penetrate through the skin to enhance beauty and youth.

Currently, urban agriculture is gaining increasing attention as it helps enhance food security and expand green spaces in cities. However, some people remain uninterested in urban farming, possibly due to living in urban areas or having limited space, making them perceive agriculture as something distant from their daily lives. The development of an urban agriculture card game aims to promote learning about urban farming through an engaging and enjoyable gameplay experience.
