Exploring learning networks for homestead food gardening and smallholder farming

Abstract

Homestead food gardening and smallholder farming can go a long way towards defeating hunger and under-nutrition in South Africa. There is significant training material available to enhance the productive use of water to grow food, but effective knowledge dissemination remains a challenge. This briefing note describes a Water Research Commission (WRC) project which sought to address the challenge of getting greater uptake of available research and training information to homestead food-growers and smallholder farmers who are keen and able to use it.
