| description | The purpose of this study is to identify the concept of urban agriculture in the residential environment of a community
by taking the Taman Desa Damai community of Bukit Mertajam City, Penang State, Malaysia as the sample. This study
conducted in-depth interviews and observations with 15 community residents to explore the influences of setting up urban
agriculture with respect to three aspects of community residents benefits at the social, economics and environmental
levels, and followed by about future farm environmental effect, key stakeholders and the challenges. The results indicate
that community farming has become significant in realizing the full potential of the residential community and facing
obstacles to be sustained in the long term. We recommend stakeholders to support in terms of finance so that community
farming has more access to technical facilities and achieve household food self-sufficiency, food availability and food
security, diversity of diet and contribute immensely to urban household’s livelihoods. It is hoped that this work will be a
useful reference in promoting more urban community participation in community urban agriculture in order to achieve
sustainable urban environment. |
