Solution Projects in Selangau

SOLUTION PROJECT 1

Project description

Long Beyak has the potential to expand as a chilli fertigation plant area as one of the alternatives to increase their socio-economic field. Participants can seize the opportunity to participate in this gardening program to develop their self-potential.

The skill improvement project in gardening using the fertigation method is a method of cultivation that does not use land. Fertigation has several advantages over conventional cultivation methods or systems that use soil. Among them is that this system can be practised in areas that are not suitable for normal cultivation such as acidic soils. Then, faster crops produce better quality, cleaner crops and less threat from pesticides. Gardeners do not need to weed, water or plough. Gardeners can use water and fertilizer in a controlled and more effective manner.

The project improves the skills and develops these farming methods as well as increases the number of modern gardeners. Production of yields can also be increased by improving existing cultivation methods. Later, participants were able to expand their basic knowledge and skills in modern gardening. This project can also expand the chilli fertigation planting project as an income-generating career.

Beneficiaries of this project solution are expected to be 30 men and women consisting of local residents, age range of 18 years and above. The solution provider of this project is Syarikat Naga Selangau. The project duration is three months with an allocation of RM40,000.00.

The main SDGs impacted through this solution project are Goal 1 – No Poverty, Goal 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Goal 5 – Gender Equality.
