The Slope Sustainability and Bangi Botanical Garden Group<\/strong>, Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), ¼¯ÃÀÂé¶¹, organized the SSEDAR \u2013 Slope Sustainability Farmer Engagement Discourse for Actionable Realization<\/strong> program to raise awareness among farmers on sustainable slope management in Cameron Highlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program highlighted the use of bioengineering techniques using local plant species<\/strong> as an eco-friendly alternative to control erosion and reduce landslide risks in hilly farming areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through talks, practical workshops, and field demonstrations<\/strong>, participants learned simple, science-based methods that can be applied in their farms. The initiative was supported by MARDI, the Department of Agriculture, the Forestry Department, and Pahang Corporation Sdn. Bhd.<\/strong>, and funded by UNESCO under the SKUM Grant (GSS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative aims to serve as a catalyst for safer and more sustainable slope farming practices<\/strong> in Cameron Highlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
