The newly elected Indonesian government’s free nutritious meal program warrants diverse perspectives. This school-based effort will assess potential benefits and drawbacks. This free school meal program aims to reduce stunting and improve nutrition. Similar methods have been implemented in various nations. However, food and packaging waste may arise from this strategy. Several previous research have shown this. Since Indonesia just started a program like this, further study is needed to assess school readiness and sustainability. This study examines how economic benefits, health, food waste, and food packaging waste affect school readiness in the free nutritious lunch program. Although past research has shown a link between food waste and food packaging waste and other variables, our analysis uses these variables as moderators. This 160-person quantitative study used PLS-SEM analysis and yielded noteworthy results. This study’s economic and health benefits greatly impact schools’ readiness to embrace this program, consistent with earlier research. The surprising results show that schools do not see food waste and food packaging waste as obstacles to this program. The function of the participating teachers, the school environment, and external elements may be studied in future research.

摘要

The newly elected Indonesian government’s free nutritious meal program warrants diverse perspectives. This school-based effort will assess potential benefits and drawbacks. This free school meal program aims to reduce stunting and improve nutrition. Similar methods have been implemented in various nations. However, food and packaging waste may arise from this strategy. Several previous research have shown this. Since Indonesia just started a program like this, further study is needed to assess school readiness and sustainability. This study examines how economic benefits, health, food waste, and food packaging waste affect school readiness in the free nutritious lunch program. Although past research has shown a link between food waste and food packaging waste and other variables, our analysis uses these variables as moderators. This 160-person quantitative study used PLS-SEM analysis and yielded noteworthy results. This study’s economic and health benefits greatly impact schools’ readiness to embrace this program, consistent with earlier research. The surprising results show that schools do not see food waste and food packaging waste as obstacles to this program. The function of the participating teachers, the school environment, and external elements may be studied in future research.
