<![CDATA[Dietary patterns are one of the important factors associated with the risk of non-communicable diseases. Adopting a healthy diet can help reduce the risk of various diseases, including heart disease, hypertension, obesity, and other health problems. Indonesia has considerable natural resource potential, including fertile soil and diverse agricultural products that can be utilized as healthy food sources. However, the development of a practical lifestyle has encouraged people to prefer purchasing ready-to-eat healthy food rather than preparing it themselves. This condition creates a promising business opportunity, particularly for young people to develop healthy food-based enterprises. This community service activity aimed to empower the Youth Organization (Karang Taruna) by improving participants’ knowledge and skills in developing healthy food businesses. The activity was attended by 20 participants who received information about the importance of a healthy diet, food ingredient selection, food processing, and healthy food business opportunities. The results showed that 92% of participants were satisfied with the implementation of the activity. Furthermore, 13 participants had independently established healthy food businesses after participating in the activity. These results indicate that empowerment activities can increase participants’ interest and capacity to utilize healthy food business opportunities while simultaneously supporting the implementation of healthy lifestyles within the community. The activity also encouraged participants to become more independent and productive through sustainable business initiatives.]]>
