  abstract = {This paper presents the implementation and outcomes of the AgroTech Project under the Komuniti@UniMADANI initiative, spearheaded by Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). The project investigates the feasibility and practicality of integrating sustainable resources with Internet of Things (IoT) technology to cultivate reddish pandan coconut trees within a primary school compound in Kluang, Johor, Malaysia. The school’s landscape, particularly its field, suffers from minimal vegetation and elevated ambient temperatures. Addressing this, the initiative planted 100 coconut trees and deployed IoT-enabled systems for fertigation, solar-powered irrigation, and rainwater harvesting. The system utilizes sensors, solar panels, and automated controls to monitor climate conditions and nutrient delivery, exemplifying a smart agriculture model aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably Climate Action and Responsible Consumption and Production. The study demonstrates the viability of using solar energy to power water pumps, IoT-based Blynk systems for nutrient regulation, and fertilized rainwater as a sustainable irrigation source. Beyond technical implementation, the paper evaluates the project's social, economic, and environmental impacts, highlighting its potential to enhance community resilience and ecological stewardship. It also addresses operational challenges and proposes the model as a scalable and replicable framework for green innovation in educational and community settings. This research contributes to the limited body of literature on IR4.0-enabled greening strategies in schools and underscores the transformative potential of integrating smart technologies with sustainable agriculture.},
