The Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD) has resumed the rollout of its Zero Hunger campaign, focusing on practical solutions that enable households to produce their own food. The programme targets food insecure communities by providing tools that support consistent and sustainable food production. In this phase, GDARD is distributing 100 Hydro Growboxes along with essential production inputs such as seedlings and nutrients. This initiative responds directly to rising food costs and limited access to fresh produce in urban and peri-urban areas. By equipping households with efficient growing systems, the campaign aims to reduce hunger while building long-term resilience.
