It’s Day 3 of the #AfriFOODlinks consortium meeting! ✨ Today, we dove deep into City of Cape Town’s dynamic food system. Our field trips took us to two key food hubs, offering a glimpse into how the city’s rich history has shaped its modern-day food landscape—and how the present city environment, in turn, influences how we interact with food. The day began in the historic city centre, before moving to Belville, Cape Town's largest commercial hub, located 23km away. As a major transport node and a Pan-African food hub, Belville offers valuable insights into the intricate connections between food, culture, and community. We interacted with various food system actors, from informal food vendors, to the waste management systems and initiatives by The Greater Tygerberg Partnership. As part of the #AfriFOODlinks Cape Town pilot project, SA Urban Food & Farming Trust has partnered with the city, implementing waste collection with informal vendors and piloting an organic waste programme in an effort to send zero organic waste to landfill by 2027. #AfriFOODlinks is using waste as an entry point for more transversal work in the food system. Stay tuned for more updates as we explore and learn together as a consortium #ThroughFood! 🌍🍽️ Tommorow we’re looking forward to city dialogues and an intergenerational panel! #CityFood #OurFoodStories #MyCityMyFood #KnowYourFood #Youthinit European Commission, ICLEI, ICLEI Europe, African Centre for Cities, African Population and Health Research Center, Hivos, Rikolto, ORIBI , SHONA, SA Urban Food & Farming Trust, L'Institut Agro Montpellier, University of Ghana, CIRAD, ACRA, EStà - Economia e Sostenibilità, WISEHUB, Rete Semi Rurali ETS, IRD, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology center for E-Learning
