This Sejahtera Community Vegetable Gardens project applies Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12, which is to achieve prosperity, peace, and unity in the world through responsible consumption and production. A project of this scale even at the Kulliyyah (Faculty) level involves multiple stakeholders from different sectors. The entities are International Islamic University Malaysia (Host of RCE Greater Gombak), the internal Kulliyah community, Persatuan Penduduk Taman Desa Gemilang, a residents’ association, and Consumer Association of Penang (CAP). CAP serves as a network partner of IIUM and RCE Greater Gombak in consumerism advocacy, a training provider on urban agriculture, while IIUM in return provides consultancy in terms of landscaping, soil, fertilizer and green approach in growing vegetable garden for IIUM Vegetable Gardens. This project was later adopted by Persatuan Penduduk Taman Desa Gemilang for its residents. IIUM through RCE Greater Gombak extends its expertise in urban agriculture and sustainable consumption to help the residents maintain and sustain their gardens. The Department of Agriculture, Malaysia was also involved in overseeing the project as advisors. The project also incorporates the Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan (PFK) or National Education Philosophy Malaysia, to create and sustain a peaceful, unity and prosperous world, and is known as sejahtera world. Sejahtera has a strong influence in Malaysia, particularly consumerism.
