Introduce Children to Healthy Nutrition by Learning to Plant Vegetables

Indonesian child nutrition problems are triggered by various factors, one of which is their lack of understanding of healthy nutrition. In order to introduce children to healthy nutrition, Khrisma Fitriasari, Head of Corporate and Government Affairs Mondelez Indonesia Kharisma recommends that children learn to grow vegetables.

The nutritional status of several countries in the Southeast Asian region is still struggling with the problem of malnutrition, including Indonesia. Indonesia itself faces a double burden of malnutrition and obesity which still tend to be high.

According to the 2013 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) it was noted that the prevalence of thinness in children aged 5-12 years was 11.2 percent, consisting of 4 percent very thin and 7.2 percent thin. While the prevalence of obese children aged 5-12 years reached 18.8 percent where 10.8 percent were obese and 8.8 percent were obese.

School children, said Khrisma, require a lot of energy for the period of growth and daily activities. Therefore, they need proper nutrition to help the growth period and maximize the learning process.

"Many children do not know how to have healthy nutrition for their daily lives. In the background of this background, Mondelez organizes the Joy Schools program to empower school children to take positive steps to maintain their welfare," Khrisma said at a media meeting at SDN 03 Bangka, South Jakarta On Friday (9/14/2018).

In this Joy Schools program, Khrisma said Mondelez had three efforts to improve the welfare of school children, first through good nutrition education where school children were given an understanding of the importance of nutritious breakfast every day.

Second, giving access to healthy food by inviting students to garden and planting fresh plants or vegetables on the school grounds so that students can benefit from gardening. Finally through physical activity that promotes a variety of creative games through various creations or donations of sports equipment.

"Children will plant their own vegetables which they can bring home to consume with their families. In this way the children are expected to know the importance of eating vegetables and knowing that how to plant them is very easy," he added.

One of the schools that partnered with Mondelez Indonesia was Bangka Elementary School 03. Within 2 years, the Joy Schools program had succeeded in increasing the understanding of students in Bangka 03 Jakarta Elementary School towards the importance of breakfast by 21 percent compared to the year Ialu.

"What I really feel is that children understand about nutrition and breakfast. Usually they have a ceremony or gymnastics that looks weak because they haven't had breakfast. So with this program the children are given an insight into the importance of fulfilling nutrition," continued Abdul Rofiq, Head of Bangka State Elementary School 03 on the same occasion.

Khrisma said that the chosen Bangka 03 Elementary School itself was motivated by the proximity of its location to the Mondelez Indonesia office. In addition, SDN 03 is still classified as B accreditation, so it requires the support of many parties to change the behavior of students and teachers towards a better direction.

"Joy Schools is a form of our responsibility towards the community around us. We have a responsibility to provide nutrition in schools. Our program is sustainable so that the benefits can be felt in the long term," said Khrisma.

Honda Terendus Prepare the BR-V Facelift

Honda BR-V - As is developing, it needs to be recognized if the trend of low sport utility vehicle (LSUV) in the Indonesian automotive market at this time seems to begin to show progress. Not without reason given that if traced since 2018, the sales figure has increased significantly. Indeed, it is also not separated from the presence of new models such as the Rush-Terios duet.

Not only that, even on the other hand, this was also acknowledged by the Director of After-sales Marketing and Service of PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) Jonfis Fandy. Where, on another occasion, Jonfis explained that since the last three years the LSUV market segment began to grow as many models were present.

"LSUV has come in the past three years, such as the BR-V and HR-V, so the market has increased compared to four or five years ago. But when compared to MPV, the market is still large, "Jonfis told reporters in Jakarta on Wednesday (02/27/2019).

Meanwhile, on the one hand, whether with a market that began to grow, this triggered a gap for Honda to rejuvenate its LSUV this year? Of course a reasonable question was said considering that the sales of the BR-V dropped dramatically compared to the initial gliding moments.

Moreover, if traced in more detail, since the emergence of a new generation of Rush and Terios that immediately shifted its rivals, including the BR-V. When asking about this, Jonfis himself still can't talk much about it.

Although he prefers to be quiet, it seems Jonfis himself gives a signal. Where, he only asked reporters to wait for further news about a series of new cars that Honda will launch throughout 2019.

"For the BR-V I can't talk now. For a short time, this year is awaited, "said Jonfis.

Of course, with the presence of the latest BR-V model released in 2019, it is at least able to break down the national automotive market, especially in the Low SUV segment.
