Workshop on Hydroponics with Toclan 1. Purpose of the Workshop: Educational Initiative: The workshop aims to educate participants on hydroponics, a method of growing plants without soil, which can be particularly beneficial in highland areas with limited arable land. Sustainable Agriculture: Demonstrating sustainable farming practices that align with environmental goals and can improve local food security. 2. Potential Collaboration Areas: Training and Education: Collaborating to provide training sessions for hospital staff, local farmers, and community members on hydroponic techniques. Community Projects: Setting up hydroponic systems at the hospital or in nearby communities as part of a broader initiative to promote sustainable agriculture. Research and Development: Working together on research projects to adapt hydroponic systems to the specific conditions of Cameron Highlands, including altitude and climate considerations. 3. Benefits of Hydroponics: Efficient Resource Use: Hydroponics can reduce water usage and improve resource efficiency, which is crucial in areas where water may be scarce. Enhanced Food Security: By growing fresh produce locally, hydroponics can contribute to food security and reduce dependence on external food sources. 4. Outcomes: Skill Development: Participants will gain practical skills in hydroponics, which can lead to increased local food production. Health Benefits: Access to fresh, locally grown produce can contribute to better health and nutrition for the community. Hospital Sultanah Hajjah Kalsom can play a key role in community health and sustainability efforts through collaborations with Toclan. By focusing on SDGs, such as improving healthcare and promoting sustainable agriculture through hydroponics, the partnership can make a significant impact on the well-being of the Cameron Highlands community.
