particularly\nin rural areas, was becoming desperate. Following a workshop in November 2020,\npartner organisations with farming experience joined us to develop a small-scale rural\nagricultural initiative that would empower communities to become increasingly food\nsecure and self-reliant. This was a new initiative for the HCI Foundation, and the\ninteractive nature of the relationship among all our partners has led to valuable\nlearning over the years.<\/div>\r\n         \r\n         \r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1c6661 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a1c6661\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-80f6686\" data-id=\"80f6686\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-575a6e5 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-gva-heading-block\" data-id=\"575a6e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"gva-heading-block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gva-element-gva-heading-block gva-element\">   <div class=\"align-left style-1 widget gsc-heading box-align-left auto-responsive\">\r\n      <div class=\"content-inner\">\r\n         \r\n         \r\n                     <div class=\"sub-title\">\r\n               <span class=\"tagline\">Food Security<\/span>\r\n                                 <span class=\"shadow-text\">Food Security<\/span>\r\n                  \r\n            <\/div>\r\n           \r\n         \r\n                     <h2 class=\"title\">\r\n               <span>Building a Sustainable Future\n\n<\/span>\r\n            <\/h2>\r\n                              <div class=\"title-desc\">While this short-term intervention filled an immediate gap, it highlighted the need for a more sustainable solution.

organisations with communities to ensure the success of the programme. Our Sustainable Food Security Programme is a pivotal initiative, that works with experienced partner organisations in food security and agricultural experience. Through this programme, we have seen communities achieve food security, generate income, utilise their land productively, and help farmers become self-reliant and work together to improve their lives. This initiative is guided by the philosophy of \u201cget up and do it<br \/>yourself.\u201d Our partner organisation has been instrumental in mentoring, supporting, and training farmers to unlock markets and remain engaged in farming.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-754b811\" data-id=\"754b811\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1debce5 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1debce5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5015\" height=\"5424\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?fit=5015%2C5424&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-31816 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?w=5015&amp;ssl=1 5015w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=947%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 947w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=768%2C831&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=1420%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=1894%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1894w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=600%2C649&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?w=1800 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?w=2700 2700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5015\" height=\"5424\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?fit=5015%2C5424&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-31816 lazyload\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?w=5015&amp;ssl=1 5015w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=947%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 947w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=768%2C831&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=1420%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=1894%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1894w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?resize=600%2C649&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?w=1800 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hcifoundation.co.za\/mystaging01\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Infograpics-01-02.png?w=2700 2700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainable Food Security Home Page Food Security Initiative Food Security Initiative Responding to Immediate Food Insecurity HCI Foundation launched its Sustainable Food Security Initiative in 2021 in the wake of our food parcel campaign with eMedia during Covid-19 when food insecurity, particularly in rural areas, was becoming desperate.
