Our 2024/2025 Impact Report shows simple, practical change: people growing food, earning an income, and building community power. More than 1,300 farmers – most of them women – are now part of our Agrihub network. In Khayelitsha alone farmers earned over R1.1 million across two years, and the hub supplied tens of tonnes of organic vegetables into Cape Town’s food system. These are real results that come from steady relationships, training, and small investments in infrastructure.
Our programmes worked together: Agrihubs built producer networks and markets; EESI supported nutrition, wellbeing and herb enterprises for older women; GrowSA trained new green-economy leaders; AfriFOODlinks improvedinformal market conditions; and Oranjezicht City Farm focused on practical, small-scale methods that improved seedling production, composting, and organic growing, while sharing these approaches with farmers across our Agrihub network. Across these strands we saw stronger incomes, better diets, less waste, and new local leadership.
Key headlines (short):
- 1,326 farmers reached and growing.
- R1,149,167 paid directly to Khayelitsha farmers (Jan 2023–Dec 2024).
- 54.9 tonnes of certified organic veg supplied.
- Over 50 tonnes of household waste diverted to compost.
