The result of this research is that AR Book PETANI has been developed to the needs of children’s knowledge about local food plants. Additionally, AR Book PETANI is reported to be highly feasible, with an average score of 97.05%, making it suitable for implementation in learning about local food crops at PAUD institutions. This research concludes that the AR Book, with a theme of local food, has been developed as a medium to help teachers introduce local food and prevent stunting. The study’s results confirm the importance of utilizing augmented reality technology in learning media to support nutrition education and optimize the potential of local food as a strategy for preventing stunting from an early age.
