The Rimbunan Kaseh Project:Making Rural Space Sustainable is the
demonstration of IRIS’ core values and our core competencies working in
tandem to make a difference. Rimbunan Kaseh was built to serve as an
example of how to address rural poverty issues by promoting
environmental sustainability with technology.
Rimbunan Kaseh is a model community consisting of around 100 affordable homes, high-tech educational, training and recreational facilities, and an integrated, sustainable farm designed to provide both food and supplementary income for villagers.
The integrated, sustainable farm begins with aquaponics to raise fish with filtered fish tank wastewater used to irrigate plants to grow fresh produce. The plants are grown in IRIS Autopots which has a Smart Valve that automatically detects soil moisture levels and releases water as required. Finally, worms from the plants composts are feed to free-range chickens.
The goals of each Rimbunan Kaseh project:
- Raise standards of living and improve living conditions
- Supply environmentally-friendly, high-quality housing
- Promote sustainable living and viable economic activities
- Provide integrated agriculture to bolster food security
- Introduce renewable energy and connectivity
