Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives, One Project at a Time.

Lerotholi Food Garden

Lerotholi Food Garden on a 2000m2 plot in the under-resourced community of Langa, Cape Town. Located in the heart of Langa, within the Langa Cultural Heritage Precinct, this food garden is being transformed from a site for seasonal, opportunistic food gardening to serve as a community resource, an educational space for food gardeners, local residents, school children and visitors to learn more about growing food, healthy food, our food system, and how they can become more involved, develop skills, and improve their health and nutrition.

Langa AgriHub

The SA Urban Food & Farming Trust is working in the under-resourced community of Langa with a local non-profit, the Masakhe Foundation, on a pilot project to establish local supporting infrastructure, farming inputs and services (AgriHub)* to assist existing and new urban farmers, and also establish supporting infrastructure and services for market access (FoodHub)* by these farmers to local customers. This will strengthen existing urban small-scale farmers, micro-farmers and community gardens, increase local availability of locally grown produce, improve opportunities for farmers to expand into commercial farming, improve household nutrition and food security in Langa, and strengthen social cohesion.
