Institute of Sustainable Agrotechnology offers slasher machine facilities to local farmers to enable local farmers to fully utilize corn crop waste in the university's agricultural plots. This slasher machine is used to crush crop waste such as corn stalks to be used as animal feed. This crop waste has high protein and can be used as livestock feed. This process helps cattle farmers to produce food from corn crop waste and in turn saves on the cost of livestock operations. Universities and local farmers always work together to produce sustainable agriculture that helps preserve food resources.

Project Period: January 2024 - November 2024

Institute of Sustainable Agrotechnology has implemented a wasteland development program by launching the UniMAP Agronexus project covering 55 acres in 2024. Through this project, wasteland has been planted with various crops that can generate returns for the university and program participants. Among the crops cultivated are sweet potato that can restore the Nitrogen content in the soil and indirectly fertilize the soil naturally. Corn and pineapple crops are also the focus crops in this program so that the existing soil remains nutrient-balanced.

A tube well system was built as an alternative water source for the aquaculture project at INSAT. The Bangun Subuh Empire company, which utilizes the INSAT aquaculture facility, has been using this tube well facility to clean the Affordable Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS BM600) before commencing a fish farming project. The use of tubewell water helps in conserving water for freshwater fish farming operations.
