“Urban farming is a government initiative programme to ensure a complete food supply chain and beef up food security in the country,” Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek said after launching the "Program Sentuhan Kasih Tani-Pertanian Bandar 2.0."
The government is looking to create 20,000 urban farming communities by 2020, up from 11,000 communities to date.
