Urban agriculture projects gaining traction in M’sia

PETALING JAYA: Home gardens and urban farming projects have sprouted up recently, with the movement control order (MCO) giving Malaysians the extra incentive to test out their green fingers.

Dr Tey Yeong Sheng, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural and Food Policy Studies at Universiti Putra Malaysia, said he noted that farming and gardening activities in urban areas peaked during the MCO.
