The School Lunch Program (SLP) is a collaborative initiative between PT Ajinomoto Indonesia and Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) aimed at promoting behavioral changes among students by increasing their knowledge of balanced nutrition and improving access to quality food. This goal is implemented through two main activities: balanced nutrition education, and improvements in menu planning and kitchen management.
