Abstract

The nutritional difficulties of children under the age of five in Banyumas Regency rank fifth in Central Java. Provision of Supplementary Food Recovery prepared from local ingredients is currently underutilized as one of the district’s local potentials for overcoming nutritional difficulties. The goal of this study was to see how prepared the community was for the local food security system to handle nutritional issues affecting children under the age of five in Banyumas Regency. The assessment was carried out through direct observation of 39 Puskesmas, individual interviews with policymakers at each health center, the Banyumas District Health Office, health and nutrition implementing partners, midwives as health workers, cadres, and the community. Nutritional cases are assessed at each health center using direct measurements. This study is a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative research with a sequential explanatory model, with qualitative data analysis followed by quantitative data analysis utilizing a cross sectional technique. Regional maps give case data on nutrition and local food potential. There were 4016 wasting cases from 39 health centers, 399 toddlers with multiple wasting, 11536 toddlers with stunting, and 7807 toddlers with underweight. Cassava and soybeans account up the majority of the local cuisine in Banyumas Regency. It may be stated that nutritional disorders like as underweight, stunting, various wasting, and wasting are still prevalent in Banyumas Regency.
