This collaborative initiative between Universiti Teknologi Malaysia\u2019s Innovation Centre in Agritechnology for Advanced Bioprocessing (ICA UTM Pagoh), Faculty of Science and Kolej Vokasional Pagoh (KVP) highlights the transfer of sustainable agricultural practices through research and education. The chili fertigation program empowered vocational students with practical skills, emphasizing nano-fertilizer research, pest and disease management, and precision agriculture technologies.<\/p>\n
The program supports several Sustainable Development Goals:<\/p>\n
SDG 2 (Zero Hunger)<\/strong>: By improving crop yields and resilience through smart farming.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n SDG 4 (Quality Education)<\/strong>: Offering hands-on, research-integrated training to vocational students.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure)<\/strong>: Promoting innovation in agricultural methods via nano-fertilizer application.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals)<\/strong>: Strengthening academia-community collaboration for sustainable agricultural development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This model reflects how knowledge transfer from university to community enhances food security, educational outcomes, and sustainable economic opportunities in rural areas.<\/p>\n Sarobo, Z., Dzahir, N., & Ridzuan, R.
