Implementasi Demontrasi Plot dan Pembagian Makanan Tambahan Dalam Upaya Pencegahan Stunting di Desa Toinasa Kecamatan Pamona Barat Kabupaten Poso

Abstract

Stunting is a growth and development disorder in children due to chronic nutritional problems caused by a lack of nutritional intake for children, starting from the age of 0 days or in the womb until the first 1000 days of age. Stunting itself can also be caused by parents' parenting patterns towards children who do not pay attention to the child's eating patterns. This case also occurred in Toinasa Village, which was recorded as having 19 children with stunting as a result of parenting patterns that did not pay enough attention to children's protein needs. The aim of implementing this Community Service is to increase the knowledge and abilities of the Toinasa Village community in strengthening household food security and to find out how important it is to consume balanced nutritious food as an effort to prevent stunting. The implementation of this program uses the Service-Learning method which consists of 4 stages, namely investigation, preparation, action and reflection. The result of this service activity is the fulfillment of nutritious food consumption for babies under 5 years of age, which is considered very important, especially in preventing stunting. So, it is felt necessary to increase food security by implementing Demonstration Plots or demonstration plots, so that people are expected to be able to imitate and apply it in their own households
