When traditional Malaysian paddy farmers adopted the Internet of Things (IoT) in the area of Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA), it sparked a bioeconomy change. With regard to food security challenges around the world, researchers explored how precision farming can provide farmers with a means of improving and expanding rice production. This can be done through the bioeconomy. For paddy farmers in Malaysia, achieving cost-effective and time-efficient rice production, particularly in terms of rice quality, is a tremendous problem. We used a qualitative approach with field observations and focus group discussions. This allowed us to explore the perceptions of traditional paddy farmers in MADA about the bioeconomy, and how they could make a significant contribution when they participate. Researchers discovered that the Ministry of Agriculture encouraged farmers to adopt it. This is because the changes stemmed from the adoption of IoTs, such as drones for applying fertilizer and pesticides, but there is still a scarcity of them because traditional farmers are largely poor to participate in precision farming since drones’ usage in paddy cultivation in other countries indicated that it could help increase paddy productivity. The farmers also acknowledged and admitted their significant roles toward sustainable consumption and production patterns, both on the demand side and on the supply side of the economy.

Demographic disparities in 5G technology adoption among paddy farmers in Kedah: a comprehensive study

2024-03 , Nurul Hazwani Abdul Hamid , Noormaizatul Akmar Ishak , Ahmad Tajudin Baharin , Evawaynie Valquis Md. Isa , Mohd Fisol Osman

This research aims to investigate the adoption of 5G technology within the agricultural sector, specifically among rice farmers in Kedah, Malaysia, and understand the demographic disparities in 5G adoption. It also addresses the challenge of equitable 5G technology adoption and explores how demographic factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, and income levels influence adoption patterns. A mixed-methods approach, comprising surveys, interviews, and field observations, is employed to collect data from a diverse sample of farmers. The study utilizes theoretical frameworks related to automation, productivity, and connectivity to analyze the impact of 5G technology on agricultural practices. Only descriptive analysis of demographic characteristics will be reported after the survey is conducted using a questionnaire through the What'sApp application. The research reveals significant gender imbalances in adoption rates, with implications for equitable access to technological advancements. It also highlights the influence of age and income on adoption patterns. The study underscores the importance of tailored strategies to ensure the adoption of inclusive 5G technology in the agricultural sector.

Bioeconomy sustainability integrating circular economy principles with big data and IoT for sustainable farming in agriculture 4.0

2024-07 , Ahmad Tajudin Baharin , Noormaizatul Akmar Ishak , Nurulisma Hj Ismail , Mohd Fisol Osman , Evawaynie Valquis Md. Isa , Wan Nor Munirah Ariffin

This concept paper explores the synergy between Bioeconomy sustainability and advanced technologies, specifically the integration of circular economy principles with big data and the Internet of Things (IoT), in the context of sustainable farming within Agriculture 4.0 in Malaysia. Despite limited understanding, the study aims to unveil the potential benefits of this integration and assess the current state of technology adoption, bioeconomic practices, and sustainable farming in Malaysia. Challenges faced by Malaysian farmers, such as awareness gaps and resistance to change, are identified, and strategies, including targeted education and financial incentives, are proposed to overcome these barriers. While acknowledging potential limitations in universality due to data access constraints and the dynamic nature of technology and agriculture, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating these innovative approaches to propel Malaysian agriculture toward sustainability within the Agriculture 4.0 framework.

2012 , Noormaizatul Akmar Ishak , Salmah Ayub , Evawaynie Valquis Md. Isa , Masnan, Maz Jamilah , Mohd Faizal Mohd Isa , Mohd Fisol Osman

It is the interest of the researchers to find how the benchmarking of the future leaders in done in the Government-linked Companies GLCs. A mixed method approach has been selected as the research strategy to study the issues under investigations and the relationship between them. Six interviews with prominent experts are carried out to gather the items for the questionnaire. Then sets of constructed questionnaire are distributed to the managerial staff of Universiti Malaysia Perlis as a pilot study. To gather the data from GLCs, three Government-linked Investment Companies (GLICs) and fifteen GLCs have been identified as the samples. Then an interview with a prominent statesman is carried out, and focus group discussions with the top management representative are conducted to support the survey. The findings of the study indicate that the choice for future leadership dimensions are traits, behaviours, performance functions, competence, skills and background. These six leadership dimension qualities are desired in GLCs as the future leaders are expected to use their best endeavours to prompt or reshape the organizations.
