| description | Malaysia's population is projected to reach approximately 41.5 million by 2040, marking a significant
increase from its current population. This projection is based on various factors, including birth rates,
death rates, and migration trends. With this rapid population increase, the urbanization rate is
expected to rise, leading to concerns about food security. Ensuring food security becomes a pressing
issue, as the country must produce or import enough food to feed its population. This is where
community garden programs and other local food production initiatives can play a significant role in
supplementing food supply and promoting sustainable agriculture. The United Nations' Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) introduced in 2015, specifically Goal No. 2 (Zero Hunger), emphasize
the need to address food security issues. One of Malaysia's strategies to achieve Goal No. 2 is through
the implementation of community garden programs. However, the success of such programs largely
depends on the intention and volunteerism of community participants. This study aims to explore the
intention behind community garden participation at Taman Tasik Ilmu. Data was collected using an
online questionnaire with 40 participants. The questionnaire gathered information on demographics,
gardening knowledge, reasons for participation, and opinions on facilities and garden management.
Descriptive analysis was employed to analyze the collected data. The results indicated that the
primary motivation for participants to join the community garden program was to fill their free time.
This finding suggests that aligning the objectives of community garden programs with the intentions
of participants may enhance their success and sustainability. |
