About Project
This project investigates how food gardens in South African communities contribute to food security and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of No Poverty and Zero Hunger.
Through research, mathematical modeling, and community engagement strategies, we aim to promote sustainable gardening practices that can be adopted by households, schools, and community organizations.
