- Abstract
Stunting is a nutritional problem in children that is caused by prolonged malnutrition, characterized by lower body height and stunted brain development. If this condition is not handled, it will result in human resources not being optimal and will also result in the emergence of disease in the future. Stunting is caused by multi factors, namely economic, social, environmental, health and nutrition. Nutrition plays a very important role in the process of growth and development of a child during the introduction of foods during the MP-ASI (Complementary Food-Mother's Milk) period. Improper provision of MP-ASI will increase the potential for children to become stunted. The urgency of this activity is to prevent and alleviate cases of stunting in partner locations. This is important because toddler age is a golden period of growth. On the other hand, Guwosari Village has problems, namely: (1) Community knowledge about stunting is still low. (2) The use of food ingredients has not been varied and has minimal nutrition. The objectives of this activity are (1) Increase public knowledge and awareness about the dangers and ways to prevent stunting. (2) The community can create a variety of foods made from local potential which are guided by improving children's nutrition.
