JOHOR BARU: Tucked between rows of houses in Jalan Padi Ria, Bandar Baru Uda here, lies a community farm offering fresh and pesticide-free produce.

The urban farm, managed by the Jalan Padi Ria’s Rukun Tetangga sector, was started by a group of residents in 2017 who wanted to develop a green patch within the community.
