Urban Social Farming in South Africa - ‘Civil Society Innovation and Urban Inclusion’ #7

In this episode, Kurt Ackermann, who co-founded and manages the South African Urban Food and Farming Trust (SAUFFT), tells us how urban farming can help build social cohesion and develop resilience in fragile communities in cities, and how the Trust works with multiple stakeholders to shape new conversations and experimentation around the urban food system in Cape Town.

For the Centre’s 2020 Report on ‘Civil Society Innovation and Urban Inclusion’, we’re speaking with inspirational innovators from civil society organisations (CSOs) around the world to hear the stories of their advocacy and programming work to make cities more inclusive.
