Indonesia is on the ring of fire which is geographically very vulnerable to natural disasters. One problem that is often encountered is the difficulty of distributing logistics to disaster affected areas that are difficult to reach. For this reason, the idea of packaging food that is durable, ASUH (safe, healthy, whole, and halal), inexpensive, highly nutritious, and easily distributed to disaster areas is needed at this time.
“One alternative food packaging that can preserve and maintain the quality of the product at present is retort pouch packaging, which is military plastic packaging that allows food to be easily distributed to affected areas,” said Dr. Ir. Endy Triyannanto, S.Pt., M.Eng., IPM, ASEAN Eng., Lecturer at the Faculty of Animal Science (FAS) UGM when met at the FAS UGM campus, Friday (6/12).
