Pendampingan Ibu Balita dalam Pemanfaatan Ikan Air Tawar sebagai Upaya Perbaikan dan Pencegahan Balita Stunting di Kabupaten Kampar, Riau

Abstract

One of the nutritional problems in Indonesia that is still a major concern today is stunting. One of the causes of stunting in toddlers is not getting enough balanced nutritious food due to the low knowledge and skills of mothers of toddlers about nutrition and how to process fish-based food menu.Improvements in nutrition for toddlers are also pursued by increasing family nutrition knowledge. Increased knowledge and methods of food processing as an intervention may be followed by behavioral changes. The purpose of this Community Service is to educate and provide skills in processing menu creations from freshwater fish. Activities in this community service include providing nutrition education and providing fish creation menu processing skills as well as mentoring mothers of toddlers in making creative menu made from freshwater fish which will be carried out starting from March – September 2021 in Ranah Singkuang Village, Kampar Regency. The result of this community service activity is that the knowledge of mothers of toddlers increases after education is carried out and mothers of toddlers are able to create delicious and healthy fish menu creations.
