    Food insecurity and hunger among students are serious issues that can hinder academic development and overall well-being. Universitas Padjadjaran recognizes that access to sufficient and nutritious food is essential to support academic performance as well as the mental and physical health of students, so various strategic steps such as initiatives and policies need to be taken to address this challenge and ensure that every student has access to sufficient and affordable nutritious food. The following are the faculty canteens in the UNPAD environment. In addition, some faculties provide vouchers for underprivileged students so they can access food in the canteen for free as well as discounts and free food.

   Create activities or festivals regularly to provide access to knowledge related to food security. Product innovation from the agricultural side is also obtained from food security knowledge access held by UNPAD. Frequently conducting activities to provide information related to food security makes Unpad residents, farmers, and the surrounding community care about food security. This has a long-term positive impact.

 

Activities carried out by UNPAD for knowledge transfer:

One effort to disseminate knowledge of food security from an early age is to provide information to children who are still in school so that they care about food security first. In addition, information is also routinely provided to the surrounding community so that they are concerned about the knowledge.

Share information with the next generation in surrounding villages:

These events are held regularly to ensure broad access to learn from local farmers and food producers. Comprehensive information dissemination from these events is expected to provide agricultural knowledge and raise concern about the importance of food security, which has downstream impacts, namely health and welfare for the entire community.

 

Activities for local farmers and food producers facilitated by UNPAD:



   Providing access to local farmers and food producers to gain knowledge, information, or laboratory facilities to increase agricultural productivity. This collaboration with the agricultural sector is very important to provide much better food to academics and the wider community. This access is expected to have a major impact on the wider community, strengthening resilience.

 

Access to local farmers and food producers at universities:

     Implementing a sustainable food purchasing policy is a natural action to maintain the balance of the ecosystem and support sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. Prioritizing the procurement of food ingredients from environmentally and socially responsible sources.
