More than 750 schools across South Africa will receive support through EduPlant, the national school greening programme, to establish food gardens and plant fruit and indigenous trees that help improve learner nutrition and strengthen food security.
As Tiger Brands' flagship nutrition programme, implemented by Food & Trees for Africa, EduPlant has already helped more than 13,000 schools establish sustainable food gardens over the past 30 years.
Learners gain practical skills in nutrition, permaculture and climate-smart agriculture, while growing and harvesting food that supports school nutrition programmes. Many learners also take these skills home, helping to establish household and community food gardens that extend the programme's impact beyond the classroom.
This new generation of food champions are helping to build healthier, more food-secure communities across South Africa. Tiger Brands is proud to partner with them in delivering on our purpose to cultivate and nourish more live every day and every tomorrow.
