In recent years, stunting has become a significant problem in Indonesia. According to Riskesdas 2013 data, 37.2% of Indonesian children experienced stunting. Based on this, the PKM team will implement a stunting prevention program by providing additional food (PMT) targeting stunting children, pregnant women, and undernourished children in Maykeli village, with 54 children, including 4 stunting children and 5 undernourished children. The methods used in this program include surveys, interviews, questionnaires, practice mentoring, and discussions. The objectives of this activity are to improve children's nutrition and weight through healthy food supplements based on local food processing and cultivation. The results achieved from this program are an increase in children's weight with an average increase of 4.51% and an increase in height of 0.43% through healthy food supplements practice over a period of two months.
