Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in young children that has serious implications for physical growth, cognitive development, and individual productivity. This condition is caused by a range of complex factors, including poor maternal nutrition and environmental conditions affecting quality of nutrition. The first 1,000 days of life represent a critical period for stunting prevention, as children's brain growth and development are particularly rapid during this time. Socialization regarding the importance of balanced nutrition and Family Planning programs is a strategic step to support optimal child growth and prevent stunting. This program begins with obtaining permits and coordinating with the Head of Kemiri Village to identify appropriate targets, as well as involving local neighborhood association in surveying facilities and infrastructure. The initiative aims to raise awareness in Kemiri Village about stunting and its prevention, and to educate the importance of balanced nutrition for supporting optimal child growth. Through socialization and counseling, it is hoped that the community will be able to recognize signs of stunting and take appropriate actions. This aligns with the village’s sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly in achieving the target of a hunger-free village. By reducing the prevalence of stunting, the quality of life for the community can be significantly improved.

Jati Village has a unique potential in processing organic waste into Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC). The waste processing is an effort to preserve the environment and also provide added economic value to the local community. However, in making sales, the community in Jati Village has not implemented the right marketing strategy. Digital marketing offers various tools and platforms that can be used to promote POC. Digital marketing strategies that can be applied include the use of social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok and Youtube to promote POC through interesting and educational visual content, as well as direct interaction with consumers. By implementing digital marketing strategies, Jati Village can increase the visibility of their POC products, expand their customer base, and increase revenue. This can support the SDGs program, especially point 8, namely Equitable Village Economic Growth. Utilizing technology for marketing can help POC sales sell evenly.

This activity aims to utilize household organic waste into liquid organic fertilizer (POC) in Jati Village, Sidoarjo Regency. Organic waste that generally comes from leftover food and vegetables is often just thrown away and causes an unpleasant odor and environmental pollution. Through counseling and practice of making POC, the community is expected to be able to process organic waste into fertilizer that is beneficial for plants. The method used involves counseling on the importance of processing organic waste, as well as practical steps in making POC, including preparation of materials, cutting, mixing with supporting materials such as brown sugar and EM4, fermentation process, filtering, and storage. The results of the activity show that the community has become more aware of the importance of processing organic waste and can practice making POC independently in their respective homes. This program not only reduces the amount of waste disposed of to landfills (TPA) but also increases soil fertility and contributes to environmental sustainability

Pesticides are all chemicals and other materials as well as microbes and viruses that are used to eradicate or prevent pests and diseases that damage plants. The majority of farmers use chemical pesticides because they are easy to apply practically, fast reaction, and more efficient. Vegetable pesticides or biopesticides are solutions of organic insecticide compounds that function as plant pest control and are environmentally friendly because the active ingredients are easily decomposed in nature. Compiled from the Village Information System page, it is known that the SDGs score of Lebo Village, the point of the village caring for the land environment, is at a percentage of 33.33%, which indicates that the aspect of caring for the land environment in Lebo Village is still low. Based on these conditions, students try to help improve village development in the aspect of land environmental care. The vegetable pesticide socialization activity is one of the activities of the KKN-T Bela Negara of UPN 'Veteran' East Java Students. The socialization was held on Saturday, July 27, 2024. The target of this vegetable pesticide socialization was attended by 18 PKK RW 05 women in Lebo Village, Sidoarjo, consisting of 3 RTs, namely RT 16, 17, and 18. 

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. The national stunting prevalence was recorded at 24.4% in 2021, still far above the maximum threshold of 14% set in the SDGs for 2024.

Coffee has become a promising leading commodity in the North Sumatra region. However, in the practice of coffee cultivation at the location, issues were found where most farming practices did not comply with Good Agriculture Practice (GAP). One way to support the achievement of SDG Goal 8: decent work and economic growth can be through community service. The Edu Farmers International Foundation, through its "Farming for the Nation" program, conducted mentoring activities for coffee farmers in the form of field schools. The aim of this activity was to assist coffee farmers in Hutagurgur Village in adhering to proper GAP practices to achieve the maximum quality and quantity of coffee. The method involved observing problems and potentials, formulating solutions, planning field schools, determining topics and schedules for the field schools, and conducting the field schools. The results showed that farmers experienced an increase in knowledge and implementation by 25-400%. However, the impact on productivity has not yet been observed, as the assessment was not conducted during the main harvest season.

The reconstruction of the village park is an urgent need in strengthening local identity, improving the quality of life of the community and its environment. The location of the park located on the edge of the Janeng Dam in Mlorah Village is quite well maintained and there are trees that make the environment cool, but it lacks attractiveness because there are no vehicle facilities. The purpose of this community service activity is to achieve the SDGs indicators in order to create a healthier environment, support the digitalization of education, and preserve the environment. The method in implementing the activity is Participatory Action Research. The results of this park reconstruction and digitalization activity are park social media accounts and inorganic waste management into park facilities in the form of biopores, park direction signs, and playgrounds

The Indonesian government is enthusiastic about continuing the biodiesel program as one of the new and renewable energy mandatory programs which has proven to be able to provide many benefits ranging from achieving environmentally friendly energy, saving state foreign exchange, increasing energy security, to providing jobs; in line with the 7th principle of sustainable development goals (SDGs). In fact, the Indonesian government has increased the B30 Biodiesel program in 2020 to B35 in 2023. It is supported by the Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS), which has the authority to collect CPO export levy funds and redistribute them to biodiesel producers, so that they can produce biodiesel economically. With this mechanism, the Biodiesel program can be implemented even though the price of biodiesel is more expensive than fossil fuels, but does not burden the State Budget (APBN). However, this program is difficult to increase, because the availability of incentive funds is limited by the amount of CPO exported and the amount of the levy. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) must find a way for the biodiesel energy program to achieve the 23% energy mix target in 2045, and not rely on export fund levies anymore.

Women's empowerment is a modern concept that marks progressive changes in efforts to liberate from patriarchal culture, where women's involvement in society was previously very minimal. Efforts to align the portion of involvement of all genders are often referred to as the equal rights movement or women's liberation movement. In Setren Village, women's involvement is still low, with the achievement of SDG 5 point "Village Women's Involvement" only 26.32%. Based on this assessment, our community service work program is focused on increasing women's involvement. We initiated two main programs: empowerment of Village PKK Organizations through the creation of Village Gardens and education on Verticulture planting media, as well as rebranding of Mrs. Sri's Village MSMEs which operate in the soybean juice beverage sector. By partnering with the PKK, this women's empowerment organization is expected to be able to contribute to community development. Support for MSMEs also aims to improve the economic and environmental aspects of villages. This research aims to evaluate the results of the women's empowerment program in Setren Village. In contrast to previous research which focused on crafts, our approach uses planting media education and MSME support. The service will be carried out for three months, from March to July 2024, in accordance with the SDGs of Setren Village. The methods used include surveys, discussions and problem identification. Surveys were conducted at the Village Hall and the Village Head's house to obtain initial information. The second visit was made to Mrs. Sri's house to understand the condition of MSMEs. After identifying the problem, discussions were held to determine the work program based on the relevant Setren Village SDG point 5.

Economic growth and increasing population density in adulthood require awareness regarding environmental concern. Caring for the environment is an important thing that must be done to prevent natural damage and maintain ecosystem balance. Nganjuk Regency, with a population density of around 1,103,902 people in 2020, of course produces quite a lot of household waste. There is a need to increase awareness and change attitudes regarding waste sorting and processing to create a clean and healthy environment, which is the aim of holding waste bin procurement activities. Seeing that Setren Village SDGs number 12, namely Environmentally Conscious Village Consumption and Production, still has not met the target score that must be achieved, knowledge regarding waste sorting needs to be emphasized more. The method used was direct observation in the Setren Village environment, then a Focus Group Discussion was held regarding handling waste problems to create a healthy environment. The results of the community service carried out are the provision of waste sorting bins and socialization of waste sorting. Apart from that, there has been an increase in knowledge regarding types of waste for the people of Setren Village.

Alcoholic drinks are often the main factor in various crimes, including assault, robbery and murder. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause loss of self-control, which can lead to unlawful acts such as traffic accidents, rape, assault, theft and domestic violence. This behavior disturbs public peace and has the potential to hinder the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as good health (goal 3) and peace and justice (goal 16). This article aims to analyze the influence of excessive alcohol consumption on increasing criminal acts and its relationship to achieving the SDGs. Using qualitative methods with a normative legal approach and literature study, this research examines legal norms, statutory regulations and other relevant legal documents. Data analysis was carried out descriptively to identify the relationship between alcohol consumption, criminal acts, and their impact on achieving the SDGs. The research results show that excessive alcohol consumption contributes significantly to the increase in violent crimes and is a risk factor in cases of domestic violence and sexual harassment. Apart from the negative impact on physical and mental health, drunken behavior also hinders the achievement of SDGs, such as goal 3, goal 5 (gender equality), and goal 16. Although regulations in Indonesia have attempted to regulate the consumption and distribution of alcohol, their effectiveness still requires improvement. It is hoped that with a comprehensive approach and stricter policies, the negative impacts of alcohol consumption can be minimized, supporting the achievement of sustainable development goals.

This research examines effective methods for integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into sustainable development in coastal villages on Sumatra Island, particularly in Bengkalis Regency. By employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study aims to understand the challenges and opportunities faced by these villages. Coastal villages in Bengkalis show varying development statuses, with some reaching a level of self-sufficiency while others need further support to advance. The 2023 Village Development Index (IDM) reveals significant differences in SDG achievements, highlighting the need for targeted strategies. Recommendations include enhancing community capacity through training, empowering women, and involving local communities in program planning and implementation. Prioritizing environmentally friendly infrastructure and sustainable technologies is essential to address issues of consumption, production, and climate change. Additionally, supporting inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction through skills training and small enterprise support is crucial. Strengthening partnerships between local governments, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations will facilitate effective coordination and resource allocation. A comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system is needed to assess and adjust policies, ensuring improved sustainable development outcomes for Bengkalis Regency..  

The purpose of this study is to analyze the important role of village heads in achieving sustainable village development in Indonesia. The study employs a qualitative research approach, utilizing a literature review method to explore and synthesize various studies, articles, journals, and reports related to the village heads' roles. The data collection was conducted through a systematic literature search using relevant keywords such as "village head role," "sustainable village development," "community participation," "local resource management," "village-owned enterprises (BUMDes)," and "SDGs in villages." The gathered data were then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes related to the village heads' roles in managing development, encouraging community participation, and implementing sustainable development policies. The study concludes that village heads play a multifaceted role in planning and managing village development, facilitating community participation, and ensuring transparent and accountable management of village funds. However, challenges remain, particularly in terms of corruption risks and equitable community participation. The findings emphasize the need for improved capacity building for village heads and stronger support from the government to achieve sustainable development goals at the village level.
