THE ROLE OF BIOLOGICALLY BASED ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION AND LOCAL POTENTIAL IN STUDENTS: ENTREPRENEURIAL INTEREST, ECONOMY, CULTURE, REGIONAL IMAGE, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION – LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

This systematic literature review analyzes the role of bio-based entrepreneurship education and local potential on students' entrepreneurial interest, with multidimensional impacts on strengthening the economy, culture, regional image, and environmental conservation. Using the PRISMA method, 20 SINTA-indexed journals (2017-2025) were thematically synthesized, showing an increase in entrepreneurial intention of up to 82% through TOGA practices, processed breadfruit, and local values ​​such as Mandar hard work (β=0.89). Key findings include an experience-based ADDIE model that is optimal for replication in higher education, creating 80% economic added value (e.g., 474 tons of seaweed/year), biodiversity conservation through sociopreneurship, and strengthening cultural identity through creative tourism. The results imply recommendations for integrating the Merdeka Belajar curriculum with academic-community collaboration to achieve SDGs 8, 11, and 15, particularly in bio-potential areas such as North Sumatra. Further empirical research is needed to validate the model in the local context.
