LAMAN Ulaman Kampung Baru, an urban farm in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, is struggling to recover since the Covid-19 pandemic.

The garden’s project leader Isfahani Suki told The Malaysian Insight after resuming farming in March last year they were short on funds and volunteers to help grow vegetables and fruits for the B40 income group.

Isfahani said the main aim of their 0.5ha land was growing food for the needy and freely distributing it to them.

“Whatever crops we grow, all is given to the soup kitchens, B40 group, refugees, and the surrounding community.” – June 6, 2023.
