How do you get kids excited about nature and growing their own food? In this episode of the Sky Farm Island Podcast, we chat with Li Yen from Urban Hijau in in Malaysia, an urban farmer who makes farming fun and accessible for kids.

• Li Yen shares how she sparks curiosity through hands-on experiences—whether it’s letting kids touch soil, discover worms, or taste fresh basil straight from the plant. 
• She also discusses how partnerships with schools and communities help sustain long-term food-growing projects, and why children often learn faster (and are braver) than adults when it comes to farming.

Tune in to learn practical tips for engaging kids with urban farming, why early exposure to nature is so powerful, and how we can raise the next generation of  changemakers!
