<![CDATA[The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Program is a government policy designed to improve nutritional fulfillment and support human resource development. Its implementation also raises environmental concerns, including food waste, packaging waste, and domestic wastewater. This study analyzes the MBG Program as a public policy and examines the environmental law aspects of its implementation. A normative juridical method is employed through the examination of laws, regulations, and literature concerning the program and environmental management. The findings indicate that the MBG Program has a legal and regulatory basis covering program governance, nutritional standards, food safety, and the management of food waste, solid waste, and domestic wastewater. Each Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) is responsible for managing these wastes to prevent environmental pollution. Given the program’s large scale, substantial waste generation may occur without proper management. Therefore, sustainable development principles, pollution prevention, waste separation and reduction, supervision, and coordination among relevant institutions are necessary to ensure that the MBG Program achieves its nutritional objectives while protecting the environment.]]>
