In: UA Magazine 17 - Strengthening Urban Producers' Organisations

Urban agriculture has been practiced in Cape Town for a long time and involves many different types of
activities. There is currently an increasingly organised communitybased organic farming and gardening movement in the city. This movement is led by associations such as the Vukuzenzela Urban Farmers Association (VUFA). Abalimi Bezekhaya (Planters of the Home), which supports VUFA, is the leading
urban agriculture organisation in Cape Town.
