Stunting is a chronic nutrition issue characterized by height below the standard for a child’s age. According to the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia reached 30.8%, significantly higher than the government’s target of below 20% by 2024. One of the primary causes of stunting is inadequate nutrition, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life, which can impede growth and development, resulting in long-term health and cognitive issues. To address this, comprehensive prevention efforts are essential, including community education on nutritious eating. This Community Service initiative targets community leaders and the public, especially mothers and expectant mothers in the Nagari Sago Salido area. The methods employed include distributing questionnaires, presenting educational materials, facilitating discussions, conducting anthropometric screenings for toddlers, and providing nutritious food for participants. The aim is to enhance community understanding of the importance of nutritious diets and their impact on child growth, while encouraging healthier eating habits within families. This initiative seeks to foster sustainable changes in dietary practices and contribute to the reduction of stunting rates in the region.

This study aims to analyze waste management in Indonesia from 2001 to 2022, and identify challenges and solutions that can be implemented to improve the effectiveness of waste management. Waste is a major problem affecting the environment and public health, with around 34.29% of waste in Indonesia not being managed properly.

Access to adequate sanitation services and safe drinking water is a fundamental need that influences public health and sustainable development. This study analyzes the percentage of households in Gorontalo Utara Regency with access to adequate sanitation and safe drinking water from 2021 to 2023, linking it to WHO health standards. The results show an increase in access to adequate sanitation from 79.03% in 2021 to 81.80% in 2022, although there was a slight decline to 81.37% in 2023. Meanwhile, access to safe drinking water showed a more positive trend, rising from 86.23% in 2021 to 90.14% in 2023. This improvement reflects the success of government programs in enhancing basic infrastructure and raising community awareness. However, challenges remain in reaching approximately 10% of households still lacking access, particularly in remote areas. According to WHO, access to adequate sanitation and safe drinking water significantly reduces the risk of waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid. This study highlights the importance of sustainable approaches to improving service coverage, such as developing inclusive infrastructure, educating communities on the importance of clean and healthy living behaviors, and strengthening the role of local institutions. In conclusion, although Gorontalo Utara has made significant progress, sustained efforts are needed to achieve universal access to sanitation and safe drinking water, as mandated by the SDGs.

Effective agricultural waste management has a huge potential to increase community productivity and income. Agricultural waste, often considered a problem, can be processed into valuable resources such as organic fertilizer, biogas, and animal feed. By utilizing organic fertilizer from agricultural waste, soil fertility can be enhanced and dependence on chemical fertilizers can be reduced, thus contributing to increased crop yields. Biogas produced from the fermentation process of waste can be used as an alternative energy source, which in turn can reduce operational costs and increase income. Moreover, animal feed derived from agricultural waste can improve the quality and quantity of livestock production, which also contributes to changes in the income of livestock farmers. Additionally, good agricultural waste management can reduce environmental pollution and improve public health. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness and knowledge among the community about sustainable agricultural waste management practices. This needs to be complemented by adequate infrastructure and training so that waste can be processed into resources that benefit everyone.
