The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) of Indonesia is reinforcing its commitment to prioritizing local food commodities within the nation’s free school meal program. BGN Head Sudaryono stated the agency remains dedicated to utilizing locally sourced ingredients. This strategy aims to bolster food security and support local farmers and economies. The program seeks to improve nutritional intake among students while simultaneously creating demand for domestically produced food. By focusing on local options, the BGN hopes to reduce reliance on imports and establish a more sustainable food system. This initiative contributes to broader government efforts aimed at enhancing national food self-sufficiency and improving public health.
