Sabu Raijua Regency - a city nicknamed “the land of a million lontars”, is a district in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The city is quite sparsely populated and hot with an abundance of palm trees and seaweed, but water sources are very difficult. The problem faced by people in this country of a million palm trees is stunting. Therefore, in August 2024 the PKM SF ITB Team visited this city to provide education regarding “Healthy and Balanced Nutrition to overcome Stunting”. Apart from the presentation, the team also brought plant seeds to try planting in Raijua village. What is most interesting about the people there is their awareness of cleanliness while knowledge about healthy and balanced nutrition still needs to be improved. From this service to the community in Sabu Raijua, the things that need to be followed up immediately are: 1. Providing clean water sources, 2. Increasing public awareness of healthy lifestyles with healthy and balanced nutritional intake and knowledge about nutritional cones, and 3. Cultivating land to make it possible to grow vegetables, fruit trees and medicinal plants,
