SA Urban Food & Farming Trust

The SA Urban Food & Farming Trust works through food and farming to strengthen South Africa’s urban communities and the ecosystems that sustain them. Our mission: Stronger urban communities through food and farming In one of the most unequal societies in the world, facing the impacts of climate crisis, the persistent legacy of apartheid and the discontinuities from ever more digital lives, South Africa’s urban communities are socially, ecologically and economically fragile. The SAUFF Trust supports collaborative urban food gardens, social farms and markets, uses them to build socially, ecologically and economically resilient communities in cities, and scale the impacts through shared design principles, models and data into the cities of southern Africa, Africa and beyond. More specifically, the Trust seeks to: • Strengthen and build intra- and inter-community social cohesion • Improve household food and nutrition security • Conserve and protect natural urban ecosystems • Strengthen collective agency within communities • Humanise built urban environments
