This program aims to improve the health and well-being of the community through better nutritious eating patterns. This time, the socialization activities target residents in various areas who still face challenges in meeting daily nutritional needs.

Hope and Challenges in Implementing the MBG Program
Although this program brings great hope for improving public health, challenges still exist in its implementation. One of them is ensuring the sustainability of nutritious food supplies across all regions, especially in remote areas. In addition, changes in the community’s consumption patterns also pose a challenge as many are still accustomed to unhealthy eating patterns.
However, the government is optimistic that with strong collaboration among various parties, the MBG program can run well and have a positive impact. The ongoing intensification of socialization is expected to broaden the community’s perspective on the importance of healthy eating patterns, thus enhancing their quality of life.
