🌾 Where Food Grows, Futures Grow⁠ Food securi

🌾 Where Food Grows, Futures Grow⁠
Food security is more than full bellies — it’s access, dignity, and handing over control of the future to communities. It goes beyond ensuring access to adequate food—it is a vital cornerstone for community development and empowerment. ⁠
⁠
Through permaculture and education, The Sprightly Seed lays the groundwork for healthier lives and more resilient social systems. Through permaculture and education, this local food security project feeds people and possibilities.⁠
⁠
Achieving lasting food security requires meaningful community engagement and a collective commitment to driving transformative change.⁠

🍽️ Feeding Change, One Garden at a Time⁠

⁠
This offering is further strengthened by project-level training and ongoing monitoring, providing sustainability, building capacity, and empowering communities to meet their long-term food security needs.⁠

🌱 Rooted in Resilience⁠ Where does nourishmen

🌱 Rooted in Resilience⁠
Where does nourishment begin? At @thesprightlyseed it begins with soil, seed, and shared knowledge. This community-led urban farm in Cape Town is more than a green patch in the city—it’s a living response to food insecurity. ⁠
⁠
@thesprightlyseed envisions communities thriving in harmony with natural ecosystems, where child-focused projects are fully equipped with food gardens to meet their beneficiaries' food security and nutritional needs.

To date, their school feeding scheme programme has reached over 11,000 children across 45 schools, many of whom depend on school meals as their primary source of nourishment. ⁠
⁠
📸 How does your community rise to feed itself? 🎥 Who’s planting solutions, one row at a time? Let @thesprightlyseed inspire your #FarmToPlate entry for Wiki Loves Africa 2025 – bit.ly/wla25_enter⁠

🌱 From seed to solution: Community projects lik

🌱 From seed to solution: Community projects like The Sprightly Seed are cultivating food security in Africa.⁠
⁠
In a world increasingly shaped by climate volatility, urban migration, and broken supply chains, growing food isn’t just a means of nourishment — it’s resistance, resilience, and renewal. Across Africa, where the soil holds both ancestral knowledge and the vital minerals for seed cultivation, grassroots initiatives are at the frontlines of reclaiming our food security — one seed, one hand, one harvest at a time.⁠
⁠
At the heart of this movement in Cape Town is @thesprightlyseed, a community-driven agricultural initiative redefining what sustainable food systems look like on a hyper-local level. Their community and school gardens are living classrooms, places to pass on the knowledge needed for communities to ensure children across the city are provided with at least one nutritious meal a day, and learn how to sustain themselves and their families in the future. ⁠
⁠
The Wiki Loves Africa team is documenting @thesprightlyseed to inspire you to seek out food security projects in your own community, to photograph, record and film the ways in which they contribute to nourishing both knowledge and our bodies. By archiving these stories visually, we create open-access inspiration for others — because when one community thrives, it shows another how. ⁠
