Abstract
Economic growth in Indonesia's 3rd 5 year plan (Repelita III) was 5.7%; in Repelita IV, economic growth is 5%. Population growth is 2.3%. As a consequence of this situation, nutrition improvement programs should be carried out intensively. Research indicates a correlation between consumption of calories per capita and community income, and shows that nutritional additions increase productivity. In addition, major causes of infant and child deaths are diarrhea and pneumoniasis, which are affected by the precondition of low nutritional status. The policy of integrating services programs, which has a great influence on the infant mortality rate, should be developed with community participation. Giving priority to increasing community nutritional status is the beginning of the goal of increasing complete human development. author's modified
