In Indonesia, the problem of nutrition in toddlers is still a public health problem, especially in areas with low levels of nutrition. The purpose of this study was to see how Cokkies JAKATE (corn, green beans, and tempeh) given as additional food affects the health of toddlers aged 24 to 59 months who are malnourished. In Ngrundul Village, Kebonarum District, Klaten Regency, there were 50 toddlers involved in this study, which was conducted using a quantitative approach with a single-group pretest-posttest design. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements before and after the intervention, and the Wilcoxon statistical test was used to analyze it. The results showed that after the 14-day intervention, the toddlers weight increased by an average of 0.49 kg and the average height by 1.22 cm, with a p value of 0.05 each. This shows that the provision of Cokkies JAKATE has a significant impact on improving toddler nutrition. Foods such as green beans, corn, and tempeh contain vegetable protein, vitamins, and minerals that can help growth and increase weight quickly. This study shows that the use of local supplementary food can be an effective method to prevent malnutrition in children. To ensure that similar programs are successful at the community level, long-term implementation and sustainability monitoring are essential.

The study concluded that providing JAKATE cookies (corn, green beans, and tempeh) for 14 days significantly improved the nutritional status of toddlers.Local foods like tempeh, corn, and green beans, rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, can effectively enhance toddler health.Therefore, nutrient-rich supplementary foods such as JAKATE cookies can serve as a local food-based nutritional intervention strategy, supported by health cadres and village governments, to reduce malnutrition rates and improve the quality of toddler growth and development in areas with high nutritional problems.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan dapat diajukan untuk memperdalam pemahaman mengenai efektivitas intervensi makanan lokal dalam mengatasi masalah gizi pada balita. Pertama, penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan dengan desain studi yang lebih kuat, seperti randomized controlled trial (RCT), untuk memastikan bahwa peningkatan status gizi yang diamati benar-benar disebabkan oleh pemberian Cokkies JAKATE dan bukan faktor lain. Kedua, penelitian perlu memperluas cakupan intervensi dengan mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor lain yang mempengaruhi status gizi balita, seperti praktik pemberian makan, sanitasi lingkungan, dan akses terhadap layanan kesehatan. Ketiga, studi kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk menggali persepsi dan pengalaman ibu-ibu balita mengenai Cokkies JAKATE, termasuk preferensi rasa, kemudahan pembuatan, dan dampak sosial-ekonominya. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi yang lebih komprehensif untuk pengembangan program intervensi gizi yang lebih efektif dan berkelanjutan di masa depan. Dengan demikian, upaya pencegahan dan penanggulangan masalah gizi pada balita dapat ditingkatkan secara signifikan, sehingga generasi muda Indonesia dapat tumbuh dan berkembang secara optimal.
