"The House of B2SA Food program is meant to lead people to shift their mindset to the better, encouraging them to enhance the quality of their intake by consuming diverse, nutritionally balanced, and safe dishes every day," Bapanas Head Arief Adi Prasetyo stated.
In the agency's statement cited here on Friday, he underlined the importance of Indonesian people paying attention to the nutritional contents of their food.
"Food should not merely be filling but also healthy. We would like to appeal to all people to comprehend the concept of B2SA food. It is important to shift the mindset from focusing solely on filling meals to healthy ones," he emphasized.
Meanwhile, Bapanas Director of Food Consumption Diversification Rina Syawal suggested that people make the most of local and easy-to-find food resources to meet their need for B2SA meals.
She emphasized that such food resources are affordable and easy to process into meals with high flavor and health quotient.
The official further remarked that this year, Bapanas aims to develop a B2SA food house in 175 prioritized villages scattered across 33 provinces.
She explained that under the program, the Bapanas is conducting an array of activities, including a cooking demo in collaboration with Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) teams and other relevant stakeholders.
"The B2SA Food House program entails the holding of dissemination and educational events, such as a cooking demo that promotes the use of local food materials. We hope that people will apply the B2SA concept while cooking everyday meals," she stated.
