In addition to focusing on the First 1,000 Days of Life (HPK), Piprim said that the correct stunting prevention must also focus on strengthening animal protein since pregnancy.

"The giving of food to school children will not be related to stunting, but for the first 1,000 days, I think that's very important," continued Piprim.
