Pertumbuhan anak yang optimal sangat dipengaruhi oleh asupan gizi yang seimbang. Makanan gizi seimbang mencakup berbagai kelompok makanan yang memberikan nutrisi esensial yang dibutuhkan oleh tubuh anak. Nutrisi yang cukup dan seimbang sangat penting untuk mendukung pertumbuhan fisik, perkembangan otak, dan sistem kekebalan tubuh anak. Makanan yang seimbang harus mencakup karbohidrat, protein, lemak, vitamin, dan mineral dalam jumlah yang tepat. Karbohidrat memberikan energi yang dibutuhkan untuk aktivitas sehari-hari, sementara protein penting untuk pertumbuhan dan perbaikan jaringan tubuh. Lemak sehat membantu dalam penyerapan vitamin dan memberikan energi tambahan. Vitamin dan mineral, seperti vitamin A, C, D, kalsium, dan zat besi, sangat penting untuk fungsi tubuh yang optimal. Selain itu, serat dari buah-buahan, sayuran, dan biji-bijian membantu menjaga kesehatan pencernaan. Penerapan makanan gizi seimbang pada anak usia dini sangat penting untuk mencegah masalah kesehatan seperti kekurangan gizi, obesitas, dan penyakit kronis di masa depan. Orang tua dan pengasuh memiliki peran penting dalam memastikan anak-anak mendapatkan makanan yang seimbang dan bergizi. Edukasi tentang pentingnya gizi seimbang juga perlu diberikan kepada anak-anak sejak dini agar mereka dapat membuat pilihan makanan yang sehat. Dengan demikian, makanan gizi seimbang merupakan langkah penting dalam memastikan kebutuhan nutrisi harian anak terpenuhi dan mendukung pertumbuhan serta perkembangan mereka secara optimal.

This research aims to see whether group guidance using problem solving techniques can improve students' learning skills at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 3 Medan. This research uses quantitative methods with a quasi-experimental approach, non-equivalent control group design. In this design, both groups (experimental and control) underwent an initial test (pre-test) and a final test (post-test), but only the experimental group was given treatment, while the control group was not given treatment. The research population consisted of students in class X-1 (30 students) and X-2 (30 students). The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method, with a total of 16 students who had low learning skills, namely 8 students from the experimental group (class X-2) and 8 students from the control group (class X-1). The research instrument is a learning skills questionnaire with 26 statements whose validity and reliability have been tested. Data were analyzed using the T-test. The T-test results showed that the experimental group experienced an increase in learning skills, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. This means that problem solving techniques are effective in improving students' learning skills. In contrast, the control group did not show a significant increase in learning skills, with a significance value of 0.022 > 0.05. The results of the independent sample t-test show a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, which means there are differences in students' learning skills before and after being given services in the experimental group.

Sustainable Food Yard (P2L) is one of the priority programs in maintaining community food security.

In addition, the implementation of P2L procedures applied in South Tangerang City has not been maximized because the concept of seedling houses is not suitable for the hot conditions in South Tangerang City. The adaptation indicator has not run optimally because the use of facilities and infrastructure for P2L activities is still limited to conventional agricultural tools.
