Excerpt:
“The government is open to assisting any community that wants to begin urban farming.”
The Peta programme also involves universities and schools.
In Shah Alam, UiTM Kolej Melati students are running an aquaponics project combining tilapia rearing and leafy-vegetable cultivation.
Another project launched in July 2025 involves ginger- in-basket planting in 19 schools across Shah Alam, Klang and Ampang.
A successful example, Izham said, was the Jalan Tuntung Community Garden managed largely by retirees in Section 20, Shah Alam.
This farm is often cited at the national level for its efficient organisation and productive yield.
The Jalan Tuntung garden has also won first place in many state community garden competitions.
Izham said the state was aware of challenges faced by community gardens including limited space, funding and manpower, particularly in dense residential areas.
