In Msunduzi Municipality of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, backyard gardens are growing in popularity. People use small pieces of land to
produce crops, often municipality-owned open grounds or wastelands in their vicinity. Some councillors encourage this and may provide tools and seeds. This policy support is also based on the realisation that sustainable agriculture can contribute to a reduction in pollution in the city.
