Abstract

Background: Nutritional problems in school-aged children remain a public health challenge in Indonesia, with a high prevalence of stunting and impacts on physical and cognitive development, and academic achievement. One important strategy is strengthening small businesses based on nutritious local food to provide healthy and affordable products to support nutritious eating programs. However, food entrepreneurs, especially Women Farmers Groups (KWT), often face obstacles in business management, financial records, and marketing strategies, resulting in low product competitiveness. Method: This community service activity was carried out through business management training for nutritious local food innovation in Demangrejo Village, Sentolo Subdistrict, Kulon Progo. The method used was participatory-applicable with a combination of interactive lectures, direct practice, group discussions, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. Participants were 30 KWT members who were enthusiastic about developing food businesses. Results: The activity showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge and skills. The average knowledge score increased by 56.9% covering aspects of business management, simple financial accounting, and marketing strategies. Participants were able to produce locally-based processed food products (shredded catfish and chicken with moringa leaf fortification) that were not only nutritious but also economically valuable. Furthermore, participants successfully developed a simple marketing plan, including the use of social media and attractive packaging. Most participants expressed interest in developing group-based or individual businesses. Conclusion: This training was effective in improving business management capacity and innovative skills for nutritious local food. This activity not only impacted household economies but also contributed to the provision of healthy food for school children. This program has the potential to be replicated in other regions by adapting to local food potential.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a serious chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia, impacting physical and cognitive development, and long-term productivity. One preventative measure is to increase public access to nutritious, affordable, and easily accepted local food for children. The innovation of shredded meat floss made from catfish and chicken fortified with moringa leaves and red spinach offers a food alternative high in protein, iron, vitamin A, and antioxidants. Method: This community service activity was carried out through a demonstration of making fortified shredded meat floss using a participatory-educational approach. The method included a short lecture on nutrition and stunting, hands-on practice in making shredded meat floss, interactive discussions, and pre-test, post-test, and organoleptic product evaluations. Participants were 30 members of the Women Farmers Group (KWT) in Demangrejo Village, Sentolo, Kulon Progo, who play a strategic role in family food management. Results: The activity showed a 32% increase in participants' knowledge regarding balanced nutrition and stunting prevention. 80% of participants were able to name local food ingredients rich in protein and iron and understood the stages of making fortified shredded meat floss. Participant participation reached over 80% throughout all stages of the demonstration. The resulting fortified shredded meat received positive organoleptic ratings, with 90% rating the taste as savory, 83.3% rating the aroma as fragrant, and 80% rating the texture as crispy. Some participants expressed interest in developing the product as a home business due to its ease of preparation, availability of raw materials, and its market value. Conclusion: This demonstration activity successfully increased the community's capacity to utilize nutritious local food to prevent stunting.

Abstract

Background: Nutritional problems in children, particularly stunting, anemia, and malnutrition, remain a serious challenge in Indonesia. Children's low interest in consuming vegetables and limited family skills in processing local foods are factors that exacerbate this condition. One innovative solution is the development of Supplementary Feeding (PMT) products based on nutritious, attractive, and affordable local foods, such as jelly drinks fortified with green spinach and red spinach. Methods: This community service activity was carried out through skills-based training with a participatory-applicative approach. The methods used included interactive lectures, demonstrations, direct practice, group discussions, and evaluation with pre-tests, post-tests, and skills observations. The training participants were 30 Posyandu cadres in Demangrejo Village, Sentolo Subdistrict, Kulon Progo, who were selected because they have a strategic role in nutrition education and stunting prevention programs. Results: The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the knowledge and skills of the participants. The average knowledge score increased by 46.7% after the training, particularly regarding the nutritional benefits of green spinach, red spinach, and moringa leaves, processing techniques, and principles of maintaining nutritional content during cooking. All participants successfully made their own fortified jelly drink, producing a product with a natural bright color, soft sweetness, and a chewy texture, and received positive assessments in organoleptic tests. Furthermore, most participants expressed interest in applying these skills at home, both for family consumption and as a small business opportunity. Conclusion: This training effectively increased the capacity of integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres in utilizing local foods for innovative PMT (Food and Nutritional Supplements). The impact not only increased nutritional knowledge and skills but also has the potential to strengthen family food security and open up opportunities for community economic empowerment. This activity can be replicated in other regions by adapting to the potential of local food sources.
