Besides providing food for the community, the project also brings people together and promotes better relations through healthy activities.
Bandar Dato’ Onn Perjiranan 10 Residents’ Committee chairman Mohammad Najib Hassan said the hydroponic greenhouse project had about 800 pots planted with vegetables such as mustard greens, spinach and baby romaine lettuce.
While the committee was honoured to be chosen for the pilot project, Mohammad Najib said not many residents were interested in it when it first started. “We were also not confident about making the project work because we lacked the farming experience and knowledge. On weekdays, the committee members would take turns tending to the plants and the residents would join in on the weekends, he added.“When it is time to harvest, they will usually turn up in droves with their scissors and other equipment to help out while others pack the vegetables into bags for sale.
