2.5.3 Supporting Sustainable Farming through Shared Farm Facilities at UniMAP

Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) actively supports the local agricultural sector by providing access to farm facilities and equipment that promote sustainable farming practices.

Farm Facility Access and Equipment Sharing

• UniMAP offers several farm facilities that local farmers can use to enhance their agricultural operations.
• One key initiative includes providing a slasher machine to process crop waste, such as harvested corn, which can then be used as livestock feed.
• This approach ensures that crop yields are fully utilized, reducing waste and supporting sustainable farming practices.

Through these initiatives, UniMAP contributes to SDG 2.5.3, empowering local farmers, promoting resource efficiency, and advancing sustainability in the agricultural industry.
