NEWS ON RESEARCH WORK: AZOLLA & FOOD SECURITY

Azolla is often called “green gold” for a reason. The research explores how this fast-growing aquatic fern can:

  • Reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers through natural nitrogen fixation.
  • Provide high-protein feed for livestock and aquaculture, lowering costs for farmers.
  • Combat climate change by sequestering carbon and reducing methane emissions in rice paddies.
  • RAC system of fish farming with Azolla plant integration

Another effort of research related to food security laboratory of MJIIT, advancing food security through innovative, sustainable technology and international collaboration, particularly in food preservation, new formulation and training activities.

AZOLLA TRAINING WITH COMMUNITY : MJIIT, UTMKL – SK TAMAN KEPONG

The Azolla project is both relevant and significant, particularly in addressing current challenges related to the rising cost of livestock feed and environmental sustainability. Through this workshop, students, parents, and teachers will be exposed to the cultivation and care of Azolla, as well as its potential use as an alternative fish feed, biofertilizer, and future source of income. This training workshop serves as a platform for knowledge and technology transfer under the MOF grant entitled “COMMUNITY PROJECT ON AZOLLA CULTIVATION AS A SUSTAINABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE LIVESTOCK FEED.” More importantly, this project has the potential to cultivate a culture of biotechnology literacy and entrepreneurship among primary school students—an initiative we warmly welcome as part of 21st-century learning. There were participants who joined from within the school itself, bringing the total number of beneficiaries to 72 individuals overall. Thanks to Associate Professor Dr. Shahrum Shah Bin Abdullah Deputy Dean of Research, Innovation, Commercialization & Networking and Madam Hajah Nor Asmaruzie Binti Mohd Zain, the Headmistress of SK Taman Kepong, for graciously taking the time to be with us in this workshop program.

IWK Project – Waste Water Treatment using Algae

The system is for pilot test, our team is hired to evaluate the performance of the system. To look at the algae strain and how it can treat the waste water using the symbiosis relation between algae, bacteria, Co2 and Oxygen. The wheel rotation is very slow range between 0.5 to 1rpm. However the blower is run for 24 Hours to supply Co2 and O2 to the bacteria and algae with the nutrients available by the domestic waste water. The work shall starts from February 2025 for six months work. Our team is happy to contribute 🙂 and help the community :-).
