The reason to choose this title is he wants to help reduce the suffering of the displaced victims of natural disasters in Indonesia, especially in terms of social recovery, i.e. the fulfillment of nutrients and reduction of post-disaster trauma.

Besides Ahmadun, the third champion is won by another IPB student, Contardo Satria Gondokusumo with his work entitled “Soy Milk-Based Vegetable Cheese to Improve Nutritional Requirement of Indonesian People (Mtd)
