<![CDATA[This program focused on empowering the Ampenan Fishermen Community through training in fish‑based products such as dim sum and sausages, designed to support stunting prevention efforts and improve household economic resilience in West Nusa Tenggara. Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a national development priority due to its long‑term impact on human resource quality and competitiveness. In 2022, the prevalence of stunting in West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) was still high at 32.7%. Contributing factors include inadequate nutritional intake, limited socioeconomic conditions, and suboptimal utilization of nutrient‑rich local food sources. Fish, as a high‑quality animal protein source, represents a local potential for stunting prevention. Bintaro Village in Ampenan District is one of NTB’s major fish‑producing areas; however, local fishermen’s households have generally limited fish utilization to fresh sales or simple products with low economic value. This community service program, conducted on June 2, 2026, aimed to increase the added value of fish products by training participants (wives and young women) from the Ampenan Fishermen Community in the preparation of nutritious fish‑based products, namely dim sum and sausages. The methods included nutrition education, product demonstration, and direct technical mentoring. The choice of products was based on their popularity, especially among children, making them potential supplementary foods to support stunting prevention while also opening new economic opportunities. The program demonstrated that simple, affordable technology combined with skill training can empower fishing community households to diversify fish products, improve nutritional intake, and strengthen local economic resilience.]]>
