Malnutrition remains a significant challenge among low and middle-income countries (LMICs), with Indonesia facing a complex nutritional landscape known as the triple burden of malnutrition (TBM). This phenomenon encompasses the coexistence of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overnutrition, often within the same household or community. While providing adequate macronutrient intake for vulnerable groups, including pregnant women and children, is crucial, it may not be sufficient to address the multifaceted nature of malnutrition in Indonesia.
