Rambutan trees, which thrive in various corners of the campus, not only serve as greenery, but are also a small solution to creating local food security.

When the harvest season arrives, rambutan fruit from these trees is distributed free of charge to students, staff, and the surrounding community. This initiative is expected to help ease the food burden, especially for students who live far from home and need additional support in meeting their daily nutritional needs. According to campus environmental managers, the rambutan fruit harvested each year is able to meet the needs of most of the campus community.

In addition to sharing the harvest, the rambutan plants are also part of an educational program to raise student awareness about the importance of sustainable agriculture. Students are involved in tree maintenance activities, such as watering, fertilizing, and harvesting, as a form of practical experience in understanding how local food sources can be optimized.

This activity also strengthens campus collaboration with the surrounding community. Some residents around the campus were invited to distribute the rambutan harvest to community groups in need. Thus, rambutan trees are not only a symbol of sustainability, but also a form of social solidarity in an effort to reduce hunger. This program is in line with SDGs vision number 2, which aims to end hunger, achieve food security, and improve nutrition. The campus has proven that simple steps such as utilizing local plants can have a big impact on the community.
