We have implemented a comprehensive program to combat student food insecurity, ensuring that no student goes hungry on our campus. 

To prevent hunger, UNIMAS provide easy access to food banks and food assistance for both students and staff. Among the initiatives that have been done in UNIMAS in 2022 are :

UNIMAS Food Bank

The UNIMAS Student Food Bank was officially launched by YB Chong Chieng Jen, who serves as the Deputy Minister of KPDNHEP on May 3, 2019. This initiative is based on the concept of "From Students, to the Students," where it encourages student participation in the Food Bank's implementation. Students from various backgrounds, particularly those affiliated with student associations, such as Gerakan Pengguna Siswa (GPS) and Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar (MPP), actively contribute to assisting fellow students facing food insecurity. Food banks are strategically positioned throughout the campus, with each faculty having its designated food bank section, making it convenient for students in need to access essential food items.

UNIMAS offers a wide range of food choices in order to cater the demand of the population inside the campus.

Prioritisation are given into offering affordable and nutritious food options in ensuring that everyone on campus can access healthy meals.

UNIMAS empower local farmers and food producers by sharing knowledge, skills, and technology related to food security, sustainable agriculture, and aquaculture. Several programmes were run in 2022 which includes :

Ceramah Asas Berkebun Bandar

Program Kebun Komuniti Lestari Masjid Al-Abyad, Taman Matang Jaya, Kuching dengan Kerjasama Bersama UNIMAS

Local farmers and food producers are able to access our university's facilities and engage in collaborative knowledge-sharing programs to further improve their sustainable farming methods. Several programmes that have been implemented include :

Sustainable Community Garden Project with the local community in Matang Jaya, Kuching

Researchers from UNIMAS have organised the Sustainable Community Garden Project with Al-Abyad Mosque under the Lestari Fund, giving the local community in Matang Jaya, Kuching, the chance to grow their own vegetables and learn about composting techniques.

UNIMAS prioritize purchasing products from local, sustainable sources, contributing to the growth of the local economy and promoting eco-friendly practices.
