Iskandar Puteri, 6 December 2025 — The Knowledge Transfer Program: Organic Farming Methods and Biodiversity was successfully held at Edible Park, Iskandar Puteri, strengthening community awareness of sustainable agriculture and the importance of biodiversity in urban ecosystems.
The initiative served as a vital platform to enhance knowledge and encourage practices that contribute to healthier and more resilient cities. Organized through the collaboration of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Majlis Bandaraya Iskandar Puteri (MBIP), Yayasan Penyayang Iskandar Puteri (YPIP), Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB), and the Iskandar Puteri Agriculturalist Community (IPAC), the program brought together academic expertise, community engagement, and industry support to advance sustainable urban farming.
We’re excited to share the poster and video highlights from the program, which captured the vibrant activities and community spirit of the day. The Department of Biosciences, led byDr. Azman bin Abd Samad together with students from the 2SSCYH Biology Programme, contributed actively through demonstrations, knowledge sharing, and hands-on engagement. Their participation supported efforts to strengthen sustainable urban agriculture and raise biodiversity awareness among the local community.
Participants gained practical exposure to organic farming techniques while reinforcing collective commitment to positioning Iskandar Puteri as a green, inclusive, and resilient city. The program aligns with the city’s recognition under the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities (GNLC), which emphasizes lifelong learning and the development of knowledge-based communities.
