NUTRIFISH: Inovasi Olahan Ikan, Edukasi Gizi, dan Keamanan Pangan untuk Generasi Emas di Kampung Ramsai, Kabupaten Way Kanan, Lampung

Abstract

The Community Service Program Dospulkam IPB 2025, titled NUTRIFISH (Nutritious Fish Innovation for Smart & Healthy Generation), is implemented to address nutritional problems and the high risk of stunting in Ramsai Village, Way Kanan, Lampung. Low consumption of animal protein and the community's limited knowledge about balanced nutrition and food safety form the important basis for carrying out interventions based on local food, particularly tilapia, which is abundant in the area. This program aims to increase community capacity through nutrition education, household food safety training, and innovative fish processing practices such as tilapia nuggets and crispy baby tilapia fish as high-protein food alternatives that are easy to implement. The target participants include the TP-PKK, Posyandu cadres, parents of PAUD students, and village officials. The implementation of activities included product trials, coordination with local government, an audience with the Way Kanan Regency Government, as well as integrated training on July 4–5, 2025. The program results showed a significant increase in understanding of balanced nutrition, food processing skills, and food safety awareness. Evaluation showed that 78% of participants rated the program as “very good” and 52% reported that the impact felt was “very significant.” The main obstacles, such as limited budget and training time, were addressed by adjusting participant targets and using interactive demonstration methods. Overall, the NUTRIFISH program successfully strengthened multi-stakeholder collaboration, improved nutrition and food safety literacy, and encouraged the consumption of animal protein as an effort to accelerate the reduction and prevention of stunting risks in Ramsai village.
