FIKES UPNVJ - On Friday, March 1 2024 at 14.00-15.30 an online seminar FKM UI SERI 4 was held in collaboration with Scalling Up Nutrition Academia (SUN Academia) and OP Network Indonesia. SUN Academia is part of Scaling Up Nutrition which is led by the FKM UI Public Health Nutrition Department together with the Jakarta Ministry of Health II Health Polytechnic Nutrition Department as representatives from universities and the Indonesian Nutritionists Association (Persagi) as representatives from professional organizations. The UPN Veteran Jakarta Undergraduate Program Nutrition Study Program is an active member of the activities carried out by SUN Academia. In 2024, SUN Academia will routinely carry out webinar series activities held under FKM UI. The online seminar series 4 involved one of the lecturers from the Undergraduate Nutrition Study Program as a resource person, namely Dr. Avliya Quratul Marjan, S.Gz, M.Si with the topic of discussing Food security, Food waste and Climate Change. Apart from that, there were other speakers from IPB University, namely Dr. Yayuk Baliwati, MS who discussed the importance of Food Diversification in Indonesia.

The online seminar went smoothly with discussions that focused on the importance of maintaining the climate to increase food production in Indonesia and the need for land rejuvenation so that land can still be utilized, especially for sustainable food production in Indonesia. The speaker also said that it is important to minimize food waste or food waste because leftover food can contribute toxic substances that have an impact on the greenhouse effect and climate change. This condition will cause the climate and air to become polluted, thus affecting food production and food safety itself. The food crisis is a result of global climate change.

The importance of maintaining the sustainability of the soil so that it can still be used after exploitation needs to be a concern at this time because the nutrients in the soil can determine the amount of nutrients contained in a food. Contaminated soil will have an impact on reducing the nutritional content of food grown on that land. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the global climate so that there is no food crisis which will have an impact on nutritional problems in society globally.
