Abstract

The adaptation of nutrition policies in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) has so far been largely focused on technical aspects such as supplementary food distribution, fortification, and medical interventions, while paying little attention to the social and cultural practices that underpin nutritional resilience at the family level. This article explores how mothers in Kupang City have developed empowerment practices based on local food as a strategy to address stunting problems. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving in-depth interviews with ten housewives, two posyandu (community health post) cadres, and field observations of local food processing practices. The results revealed that mothers in Kupang play not only the role of child caregivers but also serve as agents of social change in ensuring family nutrition through innovative menus based on local food ingredients such as jagung bose (corn porridge), moringa (kelor), and various tubers. These practices demonstrate the interconnection between local knowledge, gender roles, and efforts toward nutritional resilience—elements often overlooked in formal interventions. This study emphasizes that integrating local wisdom into nutrition policies can enhance the effectiveness of stunting reduction programs in food-insecure regions such as NTT.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has opened new opportunities for traditional fishing communities to improve household livelihoods through social media. This study, conducted in Kampung Nelayan Oesapa, Kupang City, examines how social media is utilized as an economic strategy by local fishers. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved five purposively selected participants who actively use Facebook and WhatsApp to market their catch. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive and triangulation techniques. The findings show that social media plays an important role in disseminating weather information for fishing planning, providing market price information that strengthens fishers’ bargaining positions, and expanding distribution networks beyond the local community. However, several challenges remain, including limited digital literacy, unstable internet connectivity, and social resistance among community members unfamiliar with technology. The study concludes that social media functions not only as a communication medium but also as a form of economic capital that transforms traditional fish marketing practices. This research contributes to the understanding of social media use in maritime communities and offers practical insights for promoting digital- based economic empowerment in coastal areas.
