Throughout the training session, participants were exposed to practical compost preparation methods, including techniques for arranging organic materials, forming compost layers, moisture control, and appropriate covering methods to accelerate the natural decomposition process. This hands-on learning approach provides participants with the opportunity to understand the concept of a circular economy and the importance of sustainable waste management in daily life.
According to the Director of the Inclusive Agro Community Project, Associate Professor Dr. Nor Wahiza binti Abdul Wahat, programs like this not only enhance knowledge about sustainable agriculture but also serve as a platform for inclusive community development that encourages active involvement of students and the disabled community in the field of agropreneurship.
He also emphasized that the experiential learning approach can foster social awareness, a spirit of volunteerism, and participants' human skills, while supporting the university's sustainability agenda and strengthening a culture of quality work and a conducive environment in line with the implementation of EKSA in the faculty.
The organization of this program is expected to serve as a catalyst for fostering sustainable waste management practices, thereby strengthening UPM's commitment to promoting an inclusive agro-community, environmental sustainability, and societal well-being.
