<![CDATA[Stunting remains a significant challenge to Indonesia's health and human development, particularly in rural areas. Farmer households often experience this condition because of economic limitations and limited access to optimal nutrition information. This research examines how digital literacy empowerment for farmer families could be an effective strategy for preventing stunting in Lamajang Village, Bandung Regency, West Java. The research utilized a mixed-methods approach. The researchers collected quantitative data through a parent survey. In contrast, qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews and FGDs with Posyandu activists, agriculture extension officers, and village health sector officers. The research results showed that most respondents had a medium level of digital health literacy. This digital literacy gap persisted despite the village’s g relatively sufficient internet connectivity. Other findings showed that digital literacy was not determined solely by formal education, but was also strongly influenced by social interaction, community trust, and active involvement in mutual activities. Integrating a digital literacy program with local organizations, such as Posyandu and agricultural groups, evidently increased parents’ understanding of nutrition, strengthened peers’ learning, and stimulated collective responsibility for children’s growth. This research concluded that farmer family empowerment, using context-sensitive digital literacy, became a sustainable approach to reducing stunting prevalence in rural areas. The approach needed to be supported by formal organizations and by the involvement of empathetic communities.]]>
