Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) is a strategic public policy aimed at improving the quality of human resources through the fulfillment of community nutritional needs, particularly for students and vulnerable groups. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the MBG policy and examine its socio-economic impacts on Indonesian society. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach based on a constructivist paradigm. The data used are secondary data obtained from various scientific literature sources, including journals, books, research reports, and policy documents. Data analysis is conducted using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, with data validity ensured through source triangulation. The results indicate that the MBG program has significant potential to improve nutritional status, health, and educational quality by enhancing students’ concentration and learning participation. From a socio-economic perspective, the program contributes to reducing household expenditures, improving community welfare, and stimulating local economic growth through the involvement of farmers, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and distribution sectors. Furthermore, the program creates employment opportunities and strengthens local food supply chains. Therefore, optimizing the MBG program requires strengthening governance, improving cross-sector coordination, enhancing transparency, and ensuring continuous supervision to make it an effective policy instrument in promoting community welfare and inclusive, sustainable economic development in Indonesia.
