- Description
- This study draws on the relationship between household food security and household income through small scale community gardens and backyard vegetable gardens in Grahamstown Townships within Makana Municipality of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The study explores the contribution of vegetable gardens in household food security and income and finding ways in which this contribution may be enhanced. This study offers insights into the relationships among individuals, households, stakeholders (Government institutions, NGOs, Municipalities, Farmers Associations etc.), and broader community dynamics that are central to understanding the local gardening projects and the dynamics of food security and household income. The implications of this research includes and understanding of how the challenges faced by the community and backyards gardens could be addressed.
