Empowering Local Businesses for Sustainable Development Supporting Global Goals
A research team has explored how Bandung’s culinary micro-enterprises achieve sustainability by integrating financial, social, and cultural strategies rooted in local strengths. The study shows that these businesses leverage community ties, cultural identity, and adaptive financial practices to sustain their operations. This supports SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
The findings emphasize that small-scale enterprises are not only economic drivers but also cultural and social pillars. By focusing on local strengths, Bandung’s culinary sector illustrates how micro-businesses can remain resilient, competitive, and sustainable in a dynamic marketplace while preserving community identity.
