Regarding the School Lunch Agriculture Project, the school has five rais of agricultural land where students engage in hands-on activities such as growing household vegetables, hydroponic vegetables, fruit trees, mulberries, and cultivating oyster mushrooms, as well as raising laying hens, catfish, and tilapia.

Agricultural products are further processed into value-added goods such as fermented mushroom products, mulberry jam, and ready-to-drink mulberry juice. The project has also been expanded to the community through learning centers on agriculture, household accounting, health promotion, and environmental sanitation, providing knowledge to local residents.
