Abstract

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children (body and brain growth) due to chronic nutrition for a long time so that children are shorter than normal children their age and have delays in intelligence. In Indonesia, the incidence of short toddlers ranks 5th in the world. Factors causing stunting can be classified into two environmental factors, namely the health of pregnant women and those who are less healthy. To overcome this problem, Group 02 KKN UNS 2022 held a socialization on eradicating stunting and food waste management practices, entitled BENING socialization "Berantas Stunting" and NGEPAS UTANG "Pengelolaan Sampah Masakan untuk Ibu Tangguh dan Gemilang". This service activity applies two methods, namely the expository method and the demo method. In this activity, participants were given material about the dangers of stunting, the causes and ways to prevent stunting. After explaining the material, discussing and asking questions about stunting, participants were given education about the dangers of household waste if it is not managed properly, which is one of the causes of stunting. Socialization activities and food waste management run regularly and according to expectations.
