Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children due to a lack of nutrition.

One area in NTB that has a fairly high stunting rate is Apitaik Village, East Lombok Regency. Stunting is a problem in Apitaik Village and based on the results of a field survey in Apitaik Village it shows that the level of public health is still low. This can be observed based on the habits of the people who are still low in adopting a healthy lifestyle, such as the low awareness of consuming a balanced diet, especially among pregnant women, nursing mothers, toddlers, and children. Based on the problems that exist in Apitaik Village, Pringgabaya District, this KKN activity carries the title Optimization of moringa plants and sea fish as stunting prevention in Apitaik Village. The aim of this KKN is to grow and instill knowledge and public awareness about the importance of a clean and healthy life by paying attention to consumption patterns, environmental hygiene, and increasing public understanding of stunting.
