Jakarta Food Tenacity, Maritime and Agriculture Agency Head, Suharini Eliawati, said B2SA Goes to School aims to increase public knowledge and understanding about diversifying food consumption based on B2SA and the Love Food Movement through a promotion/socialization/education approach.

"This activity is expected to increase public understanding of B2SA food consumption patterns and increase public awareness of wise food consumption behavior through the Love Food Movement," she said, Wednesday (4/24).

She added that fulfillment of food is very important as a basic component for creating quality human resources.

Various scientific studies show that in order to live a healthy and productive life, humans need around 45 types of nutrients which must be obtained from the food they consume, in sufficient quantities, neither excessive nor deficient.

"By consuming a variety of daily foods, deficiencies in nutrients in one type of food will be supplemented by nutrients in other types of food, so that a balanced nutritional intake is obtained," she added.

Food consumption patterns are the most important behavior that can influence a person's nutritional condition. Eli believes that people's food consumption patterns still do not meet the principles of balanced nutrition to date.

"Consumption of vegetables and fruit is still low, as is the quality of protein consumption because most of it comes from vegetable protein (especially cereals), and there is still high consumption of foods and drinks with high sugar," she closed.
