Urban Hijau is more than a park or garden. We are a living and breathing example of sustainable farming, right in the middle of the city!
Urban Hijau is a planned sustainable social enterprise, using permaculture as a means to unite people, generate profit and preserve the planet simultaneously.
The site which will serve as the Urban Hijau center will be the plot located at Jalan 5/71B, Kg. Sungai Penchala, 65000 Kuala Lumpur.
Overall Objectives of the farm include:
- Use the site as a venue for community and team building, and to engage with different sections of society interested in urban farming and sustainability
- Act as a showcase for various permaculture practices and sustainable farming methods to the wider public Provide education on healthier growing/eating/living options and offer training in practices mentioned above
- Provide fresh and health produce (vegetables, fruits, etc.) to either sell or give back to the larger community
- Organize various events for people to come together to learn and share through workshops, talks, tours and other activites
- Establish a seed bank and a nursery to spread the plants to others interested in starting their own journeys
