Smallholder Farming Support in Soweto

Supporting smallholder farming in Soweto requires understanding the real constraints farmers face—land access, input costs, water security, and the time they can actually dedicate to farming alongside other income. Kelokitso Community Farm works by providing practical training in soil management, crop selection, and water-efficient methods rather than theoretical advice. They help farmers test what grows well in their specific plots, manage seasonal timing, and connect to markets where produce can actually be sold. The farm operates as both a teaching site and a working example of what's possible in the local context.
