Stunting is deeply connected to poverty. Economic constraints have made it difficult for some people to access nutritionally balanced food for children.

Malnutrition and tengkes programs are common in these countries, while weight management programs are barely heard of. Obesity is a modern epidemic and a big enemy with collateral damage,

Food-price disparity worsens the risk of stunting among children in Indonesia. It is believed that the stunting risk can be reduced if the cost of nutritionally balanced food in regions is lowered.

In future, the agriculture sector should be used as the foundation of a civilization that can urge its citizens to love local B2SA food products above imported foods. Let us hope!

We need to understand both the poor and poverty itself to accelerate poverty alleviation and overcome the prosperity gap.

Malnutrition among Indonesian children has taken place far too long and has caused a sharp increase in childhood stunting. The number of children with inadequate height reached 36 percent in 2010, which increased to 37 percent in 2013. It dropped to 29 percent in 2014-2017.
