Lack of public knowledge about the factors that cause stunting also affects the occurrence of stunting in the community. So the importance of providing Stunting preventive education to all circles of society. Through digital literacy, it is hoped that the younger generation will be able to know and disseminate information through social media platforms and so on so that the surrounding community is also able to know the factors causing stunting and stunting prevention, a mother needs to get adequate nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, for a pregnant woman to get enough nutrition, it requires intervention before pregnancy,i.e. during adolescence. This is because the impact of malnutrition has started since conception, stunting starts from preconception, when a young woman who later becomes a mother is malnourished and becomes anemic. Therefore, it is important to prevent stunting since adolescence. Keywords: digital literacy; stunting; community development
