Track: Production Planning and Management

Abstract

Using local resources, food processing experts have focused on functional food research for stunting prevention since 2018. This is intended to aid the government's stunting prevention initiatives, with a focus on nutritional therapies for infants and toddlers. The purpose of this study is to produce an appropriate description and set of recommendations for the distribution management of Institution X's revolutionary functional food items created for stunting prevention. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design to explain field data about the management of functional food dissemination developed by Institution X to combat stunting. This study illustrates the necessity of researchers collaborating from the onset with health practitioners specializing in stunting prevention and industry to identify the most effective local resources for functional food stunting. To attain toddler nutritional adequacy, Institution X and the government must distribute regionally appropriate functional food product innovations, particularly those based on animal protein. To maximize strategic measures so that the affordability of intake or use of functional meals to avoid stunting are directly on target, it is necessary to consider many factors, including the actors involved and the informational media.
