On #WorldFoodDay (16 October), we join the global community in celebrating the power of collective action, aligning with this year's theme: “Hand-in-hand for better foods and a better future.”

The future of food in South Africa rests on the shoulders of our future farmers, and educating the youth in food security, farming, and nutrition is paramount. 🧑‍🌾

For 31 years, the eduplantza Programme, one of the country’s longest-standing and most impactful initiatives, has been transforming learners from seeds to leaders. The programme helps learners cultivate food towards providing the dual benefit of food security and a healthier planet by enhancing practical curriculum integration and providing nutritious, school-based meals directly from the garden. 🥬

Over three unforgettable days in Rustenburg, learners from across South Africa came together for the #EduPlantFinals 2025, a vibrant celebration of learning, teamwork, and sustainable living.

From hands-on workshops like tree planting, T-shirt painting, herbal crafting, and nature walks-to presenting their food garden portfolios before an expert judging panel-these young changemakers showcased the true power of permaculture education in action.

The experience culminated in a vibrant finals gala lunch, where the top schools were honoured for their dedication to food security, environmental stewardship, and community empowerment.

Sponsored by implemented by foodandtreesforafrica and sponsored by tigerbrands_za the EduPlant Programme continues to inspire the next generation of leaders who are transforming their schools, communities, and the planet: one seed, one garden, and one act of care at a time. 🌻
