BANTEN - The Carita area, Banten, is not only attractive with its beach charm. This time, attention is focused on the real action in the food security sector carried out by the Jupnas Nutrition Forum.
Together with local farmers, they have just embarked on a major step by planting seeds of superior rice varieties PS 08 on an area of 1,500 hectares.
The action which took place on Friday, April 24, 2026, was not just a regular agricultural agenda. This activity is an excellent collaboration between the BhaktiBela State Foundation, the Food Brigade, the Banten Provincial Agriculture Service, and the Banten BRMP.
The goal is to ensure that the plates of the Indonesian people are not only filled to the fullest, but also nutritious.
Food and Nutrition Synergy for the Future Chairman of the Forum for Nutrition Jupnas, Rival Achmad Labbaika, emphasized that food security is the main key to creating a healthy lifestyle in society.
According to him, it is impossible to talk about nutritional quality if the availability of ingredients alone is not sufficient.
"Food security and nutritional security are two things that cannot be separated. When food production increases, people's access to nutritious food also gets better," said Rival Achmad Labbaika in his statement quoted by VOI from a media broadcast, Wednesday, April 29.
For him, this movement is the foundation for creating a healthy, strong, and independent generation - a mission that is in line with the quality of life that is continuously being campaigned by various health communities today.
Waiting for the Raya Harvest in August The PS 08 variety selected in this program is expected to become the new primadona. If it goes well, the harvest is targeted to fall in August 2026. In addition to strengthening the regional food supply, this harvest is expected to be able to improve the economic status of the parapetani in Carita who are the main actors behind this food independence.
Gotong Royong for Indonesia Unggul This collaboration proves that public health issues cannot be solved alone. The synergy between community institutions, government, and nutrition community is a tangible proof of the spirit of gotong royong.
With this step, Carita is projected to become one of the flagship agricultural areas. Not only in terms of self-sufficiency, but also in terms of ensuring that every family in Indonesia gets the best intake to realize a superior Indonesia.
