1. FST Cikuya Agriland (Campus 4)
The Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University held a cassava harvest and Eid al-Adha sacrifice ceremony at the Cikuya farm on Monday, June 9, 2025. The event was attended by the FST academic community as part of efforts to strengthen food security and foster a spirit of togetherness through agricultural and religious activities. In addition to serving as an occasion to harvest agricultural produce, this visit also provided a reflective moment for collectively performing the qurbani ritual. This event reflects the synergy between educational, social, and spiritual dimensions that FST Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University continues to foster in building values of sustainability and humanity.
2. Green Campus Green House & Garden (Campus 3)
Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and sustainability through the construction of a modern greenhouse at the Teacher Professional Education Campus (PPG).
To support food security and the development of sustainable agriculture within the higher education sector, UIN Jakarta has built a modern greenhouse that utilizes environmentally friendly agricultural technology. Located on Jl. Raya Parung - Ciputat, Bojongsari Baru, Bojongsari District, Depok City, West Java, this facility features a futuristic structure designed to support optimal plant growth.
3. Fish Ponds (Campus 1)
Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University commitment to creating an environmentally friendly campus ecosystem is now taking on a fresher and more human-centered approach. With the inauguration of the Water Conservation Pond in the Green Camp area, the university is not only providing an ecological solution for groundwater absorption but also creating a vibrant green open space that offers tranquility to all who visit.
Interestingly, this conservation pond has evolved into a healthy micro ecosystem, where the presence of various fish species serves as a natural indicator of well-maintained water quality. In this video, you can see how this new corner of our campus has become a pleasant place to unwind. The fishing activity shown here is not merely entertainment but a reflection of the harmony between infrastructure development and the comfort of the academic community as they enjoy the campus’s natural surroundings.
This program was implemented to address the institutional goal of ensuring that food on campus is sustainably farmed. The primary objective is to maintain campus food production and conservation facilities that apply sustainable agricultural practices, while supporting experiential learning and research for students.
