REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE AND WATER SAVING!

18/11/2025

Through our Garden-School Program, we’re driving toward a future where every school runs a sustainable, organic, high-performing garden — a living classroom that teaches learners to grow their own clean, wholesome food and to build a circular economy mindset into their daily lives. These gardens aren’t just projects; they’re long-term systems that cultivate responsibility, resilience, and real-world skills our communities have relied on for generations.

Agroecology stands as the most sustainable approach to agriculture, producing food that’s not only environmentally responsible but also far less exposed to chemicals.

The Oranjezicht City Farm Market is exactly the kind of intervention our country needs — one that opens real opportunities for local farmers and communities alike. We need more markets like this to shift us away from the unsustainable chase for supermarket shelves, and towards fair, direct, and community-driven trade.

Your environment is an extension of your mind!

​This World Mental Health Day, remember that messy spaces lead to spiking cortisol, poor sleep, and weakened cognitive function.

Add in chemically altered food, and you have a recipe for stress and mental imbalance.
​Clean your mind by cleaning your surroundings. It's a simple, profound act of self-care.
