Keywords:
Food Production-Based, Supplementary Feeding, Weight, AgilityAbstract
This study attempted to determine the effects of food production-based supplementary feeding on the weight and the agility of the pupils of Samar College, Catbalogan, Samar. The experimental design was employed in this study, using as samples 100 primary pupils of the subject school with ages ranging from seven to ten years. The samples were divided into experimental and control groups with 50 pupils to a group. The highest worth of food materials used in the supplementary feeding came from the school food production project. Of the total worth of food materials which is Php 908.45, Php 346.20 or 38.11 percent, from the school garden; Php 326.50 or 35.94 percent, from local purchase; Php 109.75 or 12.08 percent, from donation; and Php 66.00 or 7.27 percent, from parental donations. The school food production project is an important foundation of the supplementary feeding program because it contributes considerably to the possibility and success of the program. Supplementary feeding has a significant effect on the weight and the agility of pupils, particularly in the primary grades. Every institution planning to undertake supplementary feeding project should intensify food production in order to provide sufficient food supply that can sustain the implementation of the school nutrition program with the minimum external food assistance.
