Maintaining a Healthy Diet: Socioeconomic andKnowledge Impact of in Supporting a Zero Hunger World

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the influence of socio-economic factors and the level of household
knowledge on healthy eating (clean eating) in order to support the achievement of the Zero Hunger sustainable development goal. Healthy eating is seen not only as part of a lifestyle but also as an indicator
of social injustice due to differences in income and access to information. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design. The sample consisted of 89 households selected
from a total population of 114 using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a
questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, including indicators of knowledge about
clean eating, household income, and diet and expenditure on healthy food. Data analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics and linear regression to test the relationship between variables. The
results showed that income and knowledge had a significant effect on household expenditure and healthy eating patterns. This research broadens the scope of Zero Hunger from food availability issues to
sustainable nutritious consumption while linking it to the importance of sustainable agriculture to maintain land productivity and support national food security. Policy implications emphasize the need for
nutrition education, healthy food subsidies, and strengthening environmentally friendly agriculture.
