Food and Nutrition Day, also known as National Nutrition Day, is observed in Indonesia every January 25. This day commemorates the founding of Poorwo Soedarmo’s dietetic school in 1951 and honors Dr. Poorwo Soedarmo, who is regarded as the “Father of Nutrition” in Indonesia. Soedarmo, a prominent nutritionist, contributed significantly to the field of dietetics after studying at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and returning to Indonesia to establish a dietetic school with the assistance of Dutch nutritionists. The holiday aims to emphasize the importance of proper nutrition for the health of individuals and the nation as a whole. Celebrations typically include special events at educational institutions, where students learn about the fundamentals of proper nutrition.
