A major concern in rural development is the cooperation between the central government and communities to satisfy their entitlement to food and enhance the nutrition of kids. By means of local resource management and encouragement of community-based economic activities, Village-Owned Enterprises (BUM Desa) significantly contribute to this endeavour. This study looks at BUM Desa's legal responsibility for carrying out the Free Nutritious Meals Program, evaluates its success in tackling food security and child nutrition in line with human rights standards, and thus aligns with. BUM Desa has major legal, operational, and resource-related difficulties running the program notwithstanding its strategic promise. Its capacity to properly support food security and nutrition enhancements is hampered by regulatory discrepancies, poor institutional capacity, and inadequate cooperation structures. These difficulties generate questions regarding the fit of the current legal system controlling BUM Desa and its conformity with more general human rights responsibilities. Making sure BUM Desa participates meaningfully depends on strengthening this structure.
This study emphasises the necessity of harmonised rules and capacity-building initiatives to improve operational performance of BUM Desa. Moreover, guaranteeing sustainable food security in rural areas depends on closer cooperation among the stakeholders. Although BUM Desa has great potential to assist the Free Nutritious Meals Program by using local resources and involving communities, current issues have to be resolved. BUM Desa can help to more successfully reach food security and nutritional objectives by enhancing legal and institutional frameworks and supporting teamwork. This study adds to the conversation on community-driven economic institutions and human rights-based methods of rural development
