Participating in government programs in an effort to prevent stunting, the research team from the Department of Chemistry at FMIPA UNEJ developed organic fish hydrolyzate fertilizer.

Rice with a high zinc content is needed to reduce stunting, and high iron content helps reduce anemia and maintain the body’s immune system. This was revealed during an educational event for the farming community in Karangrejo Village, Jember (21/4) that was organized by the FMIPA UNEJ Chemistry Student Association.
