Across South Africa, small-scale food production is transforming lives and strengthening communities. Supported by the Shoprite Group in partnership with organisations such as Urban Harvest and Food & Trees for Africa, community and household gardens are enabling families to grow their own food, improve nutrition, and create small-scale income opportunities. From backyard patches and school plots to larger community farms, these initiatives show that sustainable farming practices can thrive even in challenging conditions.
