Abstract

The Sabah State Government in 2018 noted that the state was facing significant challenges in managing its solid waste, due to factors such as limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and inadequate public awareness on waste management practices The total amount of municipal solid waste generated in Sabah was reported to be 2,062,390 kg per day. Composting is a process of decomposing organic matter, such as food scraps, yard waste, and other natural materials, into a nutrient-rich soil amendment that can be used to improve soil fertility and structure. This study aimed to evaluate the use of composted leafy vegetables waste as planting media. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Sustainable Agriculture. There were 4 treatments for this research, namely T1: 100% leafy vegetables waste, T2: 50% leafy vegetable waste + 50% compost matured chicken manure, T3: 50% leafy vegetable waste + 50% peat moss and T4: 50% leafy vegetable waste + 50% topsoil. Data collection on this research including temperature, moisture content, C/N ratio, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), sowing green mustard and cost. Data were analyzed by using SAS 9.4 and data was presented by Tukey at p>0.05. The findings of this study have important implications for the sustainable management of vegetable waste, as peatmoss provides an alternative solution to waste disposal while promoting soil health and agricultural productivity.

Abstract

Aquaponics is the application of integrated agricultural techniques between the cultivation of fish and vegetables that are environmentally friendly with efficient use of inputs and optimizing production. Aling Hydroponics Farm has long applied hydroponic techniques for cultivating vegetables, apart from also cultivating fish using fiber ponds. However, the application of these two techniques has not been integrated so that it is not efficient in using production inputs. This international collaborative community service activity aims to socialize aquaponic techniques to Aling Hidroponik Farm partners as an effort to increase the efficiency of resource use in farming. The method of implementing activities uses visits and discussions at hydroponic cultivation and fish cultivation locations. This activity was attended by lecturers from the Faculty of Agriculture, Muhammadiyah University of Makassar and lecturers from the Faculty of Sustainable Agriculture, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, students and the community. The results of the activity showed that the participants were very enthusiastic about taking part in the activity, the participants actively asked questions and expressed opinions regarding the opportunities and obstacles to implementing the aquaponic system from economic and social aspects.
