Food in South Africa is expensive because of waste & inefficiency. For every 10 units of food produced, 3 are lost, leaving 7 units for consumption.
The inefficiency in the system (including imports & exports) means nearly half of the available food doesn't reach household plates, putting our ability to feed ourselves sustainably at risk. In addition, mass tracts of land are increasingly being transformed by climate change, soil erosion, urban sprawl & industrial projects.
These impacts on food production capacity & livelihoods are significant. Our food system needs massive transformation & government is not acting aggressively enough to enable this transformation.
CitiFarmz™ & SkoolFarmz™ transform vacant urban lots into vital community food sources, providing much needed skills, learning, nutrition, social cohesion & incomes. This program ventures beyond local gardening to harness the power of regenerative urban agriculture to reshape how marginalised, impoverished communities source their food in large cities, where arable land is often expensive & in short supply.
These urban agriculture programs bring the farm closer to the consumer, & reshape sustainability by reducing food miles, cutting greenhouse gas emissions & conserving resources. Growing crops on vacant city lots minimises food transportation carbon footprint & ensures the freshest produce. Integrating this food production program into urban settings can bolster cities resilience against supply chain disruptions caused by climate change & other disruptions.
Find out ways you can assist us, through these programs, to realise our vision of a just, low carbon world, with the wellbeing of every member of society at its heart.
