The range of incredible actions and efforts coming from civil society organisations was highlighted by guest speaker Andrew Boraine, CEO of the Western Cape Economic Development Partnership, and included Agri hubs and community food gardens.<\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t yet involved in a food garden, then consider getting your hands dirty. Food that is produced and consumed locally is a more affordable alternative to improve diets and farmers can also supplement their income if they sell surplus produce. Such small-scale farming can be seen at initiatives such as the Langa Agri\/Food Hub, Spier Food Garden and Living Soils Community Learning Farm.<\/p>\n<p>The SA Urban Food &amp; Farming Trust is working in the under-resourced community of Langa with a local non-profit, the Masakhe Foundation, on a pilot project that will 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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20457\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article.jpg 1587w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Spier Wine Farm in Stellenbosch has joined hands with other small-holder growers in a collaborative effort to boost the local organically-grown food system. The Spier Food Garden has been a voluntary member of the Western Cape Peer Guarantee System (PGS) since 2019. The PGS is a network of growers that guarantees bona fide organic growing for producers based on the sharing of knowledge, resources, and connections. Ultimately, the growers have a shared commitment to building local food security by making nutritious, organically-grown food available and accessible to their communities.<\/p>\n<p>Spier Food Garden\u2019s agroecologist, Megan McCarthy says: \u201cIt\u2019s Ubuntu in action. Participating growers are united in collaboration and support for one another. For experienced growers, it\u2019s an amazing opportunity to teach and to mentor, while the emerging growers tap into expertise that would normally take years of trial and error to gain on their own. Together, we learn, we share, we grow more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy teaches members of disadvantaged local communities how to grow fruit, herbs and vegetables using eco-friendly and regenerative techniques. Seeds and training have also been given to 11 vulnerable families in nearby Lynedoch who have started their own food gardens at home.<\/p>\n<p>Being part of a community is critical to Spier\u2019s efforts. The Living Soils Community Learning Farm is a partnership between Woolworths, Spier and the Sustainability Institute. Based at Spier, this learning farm demonstrates ecologically restorative methods to grow nutrient-rich foods to improve community food security. Since it was established in November 2019, approximately 1700 kilograms of produce have been harvested from just under a hectare of land.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20459\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/11\/Spier-in-article-2.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, March 26 2020, ahead of the nationwide lockdown, Spier partnered with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainabilityinstitute.net\/\">Sustainability Institute<\/a>\u00a0and the Living Soils Community Learning Farm to compile and distribute relief food boxes to provide nourishment to 450 vulnerable families during the lockdown period. With an average of five members per family, approximately 2 500 people received help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a wonderful moment when we delivered the first order to the Sustainability Institute, to use in the meals prepared for approximately 200 impoverished and at-risk children from the Lynedoch community that attend one of the schools at the Institute. This is one of the main objectives of the Living Soils Community Learning Farm, to improve food security within the community, starting with early childhood development (ECD) centres, \u201csays Rirhandzu Marivate, Project Manager for the Living Soils Community Learning Farm.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the project successes to date, Heidi Newton-King, Spier\u2019s HR and Sustainability Director, says that they have experienced \u201cthe power of a collective, unified with a common purpose. Every person involved in this project embodies the commitment to learning and delivering on our agreed goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, to extend this spirit further and help visitors at large learn more about regenerative and eco-friendly gardening, Spier is hosting hands-on workshops at the Spier Food Garden, teaching techniques that can easily be put into practice. The Spier Food Garden, which stretches over 1 hectare and was once a disused horse paddock, was officially launched to the public at the end of September 2021 and entrance is free for those wanting to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Whether via a public project, shared allotment, smallholding, communal farm, windowsill, or balcony &#8211; or even the former lawn of your own backyard &#8211; food gardens represent a viable way forward. Of course, they are just one of the ways to solve for food security and myriad solutions are indeed possible. But the fact remains that an effective response to hunger in our society is right at our own fingertips \u2013 and quite literally so!<\/p>\n<p><em>Find out more about macro issufood and its other Growing for Good initiatives <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spier.co.za\/growing-for-good\/a-new-generation-of-growers-takes-root\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that 60 per cent of food relief during lockdown came from civil society?
