Stunting is one of the nutritional problems that can impair children's growth and development. Stunting prevention is not only related to health aspects but also requires increased knowledge about nutrition, food utilization, and community involvement in creating an environment that supports children's growth and development. One approach that can be implemented is the utilization of available land through a living pharmacy program, which can also serve as an educational medium for introducing food plants and their health benefits. This activity aimed to provide students with education on plant utilization and to foster environmental awareness as part of efforts to support stunting prevention in Dolat Rayat Village. The activity was conducted at SD 047171 Basam-Tongkoh through several stages, including land preparation, plant preparation, planting, education on the benefits of plants, and student involvement in maintaining the living pharmacy. The plants cultivated included spinach, water spinach, red chili, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. The results showed that the living pharmacy program was successfully implemented and provided students with an educational experience regarding land utilization and the benefits of food plants. The activity also encouraged students to participate in plant maintenance, allowing the program to be developed sustainably. The main obstacle encountered during the implementation was limited land availability, which restricted the number of plants that could be cultivated. The living pharmacy program is expected to serve as an educational and environmental empowerment medium that supports increased knowledge of nutritious food and contributes to stunting prevention efforts in Dolat Rayat Village.
