Urban farming has become increasingly crucial rather than optional due to various factors, particularly in the face of challenges such as climate change and food security. Natalie Tan will be speaking with Jayden Koay, Business Owner at CityFarm Malaysia, to learn how to practise urban farming in apartments and will also explore the bigger-picture conversation surrounding this activity with Ong Ai Ai, Chief Volunteer Officer at Kebun-Kebun Bangsar.
