The activities have resulted in changes in resource and environmentalutilization on the university farm. Moreover, to develop approaches for reducingecological footprint through the environmental education process on the farm, therewere three activities to raise agricultural and environmental awareness, namely "WorldPlanet", "Environmental Keywords", and "Pop-up Kayab-lok."
