In conjunction with the World Earth Day celebration, the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence (FAI), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), in collaboration with Institut Sultan Iskandar (ISI), organised a community engagement programme at Kebun Bandar Sungai Bunus. The initiative involved staff, students, and the local community in a gotong-royong (communal work) activity aimed at promoting sustainability awareness and environmental responsibility.
The highlight of the event was the installation of a solar-powered automatic irrigation system developed using project funds, supporting UTM’s mission of promoting green innovation in urban agriculture. This system enhances water efficiency and reduces energy reliance, aligning with multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
This programme not only empowered the local community through environmental education and hands-on involvement but also served as a model for replicable green technology initiatives in other urban gardens. FAI UTM remains committed to integrating sustainability efforts with real-world community impact.
