In this article, originally published by Worcester Standard and Netwerk24, writer Neil Overy details a learning lab/learning journey in Worcester, in the Western Cape.
“Worcester was recently the location of a ‘learning journey’ where participants gained first-hand experience of challenges in the town’s food system.
This innovative research approach encouraged participants to think about how food and nutritional security and sustainability could be improved in a town where one in five children are malnourished and many adults eat nutritionally poor diets. This, despite the town being located within a valley known for its food production.”
