The Western Cape Department of Agriculture's head of department Dr Mogale Sebopetsa reflects on the learning journey in Worcester, jointly lead by the CoE-FS, Southern Africa Food Lab and the Western Cape Economic Development Partnership.
“During two sunny winter days in early May, the Breede River Municipality (BVM) hosted a ‘learning journey’, an innovative research method, in the town of Worcester which brought together a range of stakeholders interested in food and nutrition security and sustainability.\
The stakeholders in attendance included community members, activists, academics, Early Childhood Development (ECD) practitioners and representatives from various levels of government. Western Cape government was represented by the Departments of Agriculture and Health while regional representation came from the Cape Winelands District Municipality. More locally, the ‘learning journey’ was well attended by various senior managers, councillors, and ward committee members from within the BVM.”
