The Urban Agriculture Programme, which was introduced as a pilot project last year, has been expanded through a collaboration with the Prisons Department to support the national food security agenda.
Perak rural development, plantation, agriculture and food industry committee chairman Datuk Mohd Zolkafly Harun said the watermelon fertigation scheme at Tapah Prison was an example of an activity of the programme.
