Greening Farming on Penang Hill Through the Promotion of Regenerative Agriculture and Food Forests.

This pilot project on the eastern slopes of Penang Hill demonstrates ecologically sound farming through the transformation of abandoned hill terraces into a permaculture food forest. Designed to mimic natural forest edges, the project showcases sustainable food production compatible with fragile hill ecosystems. By integrating water-sensitive farming infrastructure and diverse planting systems, the initiative addresses habitat conservation, soil erosion, water resource protection, and the reduction of agrochemical dependency in steep-slope agriculture.
