Rapid urbanisation, climate change, land degradation, and population growth have placed immense pressure on traditional agricultural systems. In Malaysia, the increasing cost of living, fluctuating food supplies, and limited land for cultivation, especially in urban areas, call for immediate and innovative solutions to ensure a resilient and sustainable food system. These challenges not only threaten food availability but also directly impact human health, nutrition, and well-being, highlighting the urgent need to address food production through the lens of planetary health.<\/p><p>In this context, the establishment of the Sustainable Technology and Innovation for Food Security (SUSTAIN) Research Unit is proposed. The Research Unit will serve as a multidisciplinary platform for research, innovation, and education, focusing on sustainable, small-scale food production systems that are applicable in both urban and rural settings. Through SUSTAIN, we can develop, test, and promote environmentally sustainable, resource-efficient, and economically viable technologies for food production, enabling individuals, institutions, and communities to adopt practical solutions. By linking food security initiatives with planetary health principles, SUSTAIN seeks to foster resilient, equitable, and sustainable food systems that support both human well-being and environmental stewardship.<\/p><p>Through SUSTAIN, we empower everyone, especially urban poor communities and residents in high-rise buildings, to grow their own food despite limited space. By using innovative technologies that require less land, combined with practical solutions and community support, we create opportunities for self-sufficiency, resilience, and healthier lives. Together, we can build a future where fresh, nutritious food is within reach for all, and every space, big or small, becomes a garden of possibility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7af2136 e-grid

Nutrient-rich waste excreted by the catfish (primarily ammonia) is pumped into grow beds, where naturally occurring nitrifying bacteria break down the toxic waste\u2014first into nitrites, then into bioavailable nitrates. The fast-growing water spinach (<i data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"388\">Ipomoea aquatica<\/i>) absorbs these nitrates through its dense root network to fuel its growth, naturally filtering and purifying the water in the process. The cleansed water is then recirculated back into the fish tank, creating a continuous biological cycle. This integrated approach maximizes resource efficiency: it produces two distinct food sources\u2014protein-dense catfish and nutrient-rich greens\u2014while using up to 90% less water than traditional soil farming and completely eliminating the need for synthetic fertilizers.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n                <div class=\"body-button\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"border-bottom left\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-392bd60 jkit-equal-height-disable elementor-widget elementor-widget-jkit_image_box\" data-id=\"392bd60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jkit_image_box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"jeg-elementor-kit jkit-image-box style-default elementor-animation- jeg_module__2_6a7890dd5617b\" ><div class=\"image-box-header elementor-animation-\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-4.59.36-PM-768x515.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-4.59.36-PM.jpeg\" source=\"library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-4.59.36-PM-768x515.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-4.59.36-PM-300x201.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-4.59.36-PM-1024x687.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-4.59.36-PM-425x285.jpeg 425w, https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-4.59.36-PM.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"image-box-body\">\n            <div class=\"body-inner\"><h2 class=\"body-title icon-position-before\">Water Bottle Fish Tank System<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"body-description\"><p>This project involves the design and testing of a compact aquaculture system constructed using recycled water bottles.

In the raised bed gardening system, we cultivate Japanese cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and lettuce, benefiting from improved soil management, drainage, and plant growth. For the sack farming system, we grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots, a space-saving and flexible method suitable for limited planting areas. By repurposing recycled materials in our kitchen garden, such as plastic bottles as plant containers, we further enhance its sustainability by reducing waste, promoting resource efficiency, and creating a more environmentally friendly growing space. Our kitchen garden is also 100% organic, supporting the supply of fresh vegetables for staff and students while serving as a platform to promote sustainability awareness, healthy eating, and hands-on learning in urban farming.<\/p><\/div>\n                <div class=\"body-button\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"border-bottom left\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-522eb14 jkit-equal-height-disable elementor-widget elementor-widget-jkit_image_box\" data-id=\"522eb14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"jkit_image_box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"jeg-elementor-kit jkit-image-box style-default elementor-animation- jeg_module__5_6a7890dd5f798\" ><div class=\"image-box-header elementor-animation-\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-5.04.01-PM-768x538.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-5.04.01-PM.jpeg\" source=\"library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-5.04.01-PM-768x538.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-5.04.01-PM-300x210.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-5.04.01-PM-1024x718.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-5.04.01-PM-425x298.jpeg 425w, https:\/\/institute.iium.edu.my\/planetiium\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-21-at-5.04.01-PM.jpeg 1117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"image-box-body\">\n            <div class=\"body-inner\"><h2 class=\"body-title icon-position-before\">Azolla Farm<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"body-description\"><p>Our Azolla farm cultivates azolla on a large scale to meet the nutritional needs of our livestock, including chickens, ducks, cows, and fish.

This approach establishes a Sustainable Livestock Feed System, enhancing the circular economy by turning waste into a valuable feed resource, reducing environmental impact, and minimizing reliance on commercial feed. Bulk production of azolla ensures a steady and cost-effective supply for our livestock, helping to manage feeding costs while supporting the health and productivity of the animals.
