THE FUSE

A provincial environmental and education-focused visit in Standerton placed strong emphasis on food security, climate awareness and practical agricultural learning in schools. The initiative highlighted how early education can shape sustainable habits and improve nutrition outcomes for learners in under-resourced communities. The programme also demonstrated how government support can directly improve school feeding efforts while building long-term environmental skills. Community members and educators welcomed the hands-on approach that links agriculture with learning. The visit showed a clear focus on turning schools into active contributors to local food production and climate resilience.
