Mario Village, Mare Subdistrict, is one of the priority villages for stunting prevention and reduction in Bone Regency in 2021. Mario Village, Mare Subdistrict, is the 6th (six) of 50 (fifty) priority villages for stunting prevention and reduction in 2021. To achieve this goal, it is necessary for cross-sectoral collaboration in fulfilling optimal community nutrition, especially nutrition for children under five/toddler. Toddler nutrition is very important to have special attention due to economic limitations and lack of knowledge in fulfilling optimal nutrition, especially in the serving of appropriate weaning food (MP-ASI). Lecturers are present in their efforts to provide solutions so that optimal nutrition can be fulfilled by giving counseling methods such as: (1) Nutritional status of toddlers and the impact and dangers of poor nutritional status (2) Appropriate weaning food based on age (3) Appropriate, correct and adequate weaning food (4) Demonstration of weaning food (MPASI) broth serving by using a participatory method.


INTRODUCTION
The stunting rate in Bone Regency in 2018 was 40.1 percent of the total population, while in 2019 it decreased by around 4 percent, which was 37 percent. To reduce the rate of stunting, the government continues to plan various programs to overcome the poverty chain. Although the main cause of stunting is poor nutritional supplementary, the problem of stunting itself can be said to be very complex, involving various factors. These factors are economic, educational, and socio-cultural. The low level of education, for example, causes a lack of understanding of the importance of nutrition for infants and toddlers. The problem of stunting is not only about poor nutritional status, but it comes from the problem of poverty. (Regional Government of Bone, 2020) To achieve the goal of preventing and reducing stunting and optimizing nutrition for toddler, the Bone Regency Government has issued The Decision of Bone Regent No. 304 of 2020 regarding the determination of the Priority Village Location for Handling Stunting in Bone Regency in 2021. Mario Village, Mare Sub-district is the 6th (six) of the 50 (fifty) priority villages for stunting prevention and reduction in 2021.Based on surveys and interviews with Mario village officials and direct observations, poverty is still an urgent problem in Mario Village.
The number of households receiving BLT (cash fund assistance) in Mario Village in 2021 reached 173 households over 2 (two) villages and 9 (nine) sub-villages. The households that receive beneficiary of KKB live at Ulutaue sub-village, reaching 50 households or about (50%) of the total KKB beneficiary households in Mario Village, while the lowest is at Appalaringe Lebbae sub -village, namely 13 households (12%). (Mario Village Data).The community at Mario Village is generally work as farmers and fishermen, the level of education is also relatively low, and most of them have elementary school education (SD) and junior high school (SMP). Based on data collection and research surveys, the nutritional status of the community, especially the nutrition of toddler, is considered need special attention due to economic limitations and lack of knowledge in fulfilling optimal nutrition, mainly in the serving of appropriate and correct weaning food (MP-ASI). The mothers have limitation of knowledge even in providing early weaning food to infants before the age of 6 months and do not meet the components of the right and correct weaning food.Some mothers at Mario Village also have less precise diet for their babies at next age. If they have money (even not much), children are familiarized with instant food because of advertising. Babies are given adult food, which is not appropriate for their age. Miss important information for the community is the importance of affordable healthy nutritious food.Nutrients have a very important role for the continuity of children's growth and development and their health.
The best and most complete nutrition for babies in their first life is breast milk (ASI) until the age of 6 months. However, after 6 months breastfeeding alone is not enough to meet their nutritional needs. Therefore, babies after the age of 6 months need to be given complementary foods that are adapted to the ability of the baby's digestive organs to digest food. Nutrition improvement programs that aim at increasing the number and quality of weaning food (MP-AS)I, can be done by serving MPASI to children aged 6-24 months (Fatimah, 2010).Economic factor is a determinant of nutritional status that can affect the nutritional status of children. A good family economic situation can guarantee the fulfillment of the basic needs of every family member, including the nutrition of toddler. Meanwhile, economic data includes employment, family income, wealth, expenditure and food prices (Supariasa, 2012). Low economic status occupies the first position in society which causes malnutrition.The first two years of a child's life is a critical period, because they are in rapid growth and development. The need for more attention in growth and development at the age of toddlers is based on the fact that malnutrition that occurs during this golden period is irreversible (cannot be recovered). Optimal nutritional status will be achieved if optimal nutritional needs are met (Sari, 2010) According to the results of the Study on the Nutritional Status of Indonesian Toddlers (SSGBI), which was integrated with the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) on March 2019, the stunting rate in Indonesia is quite worrying, which is reach 27.7 percent.
