		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that 60% food relief during lockdown came from civil society? This remarkable statistic points to the power of ordinary people to help solve food macro issues affecting our country. This astonishing insight surfaced during the recent #cocreateDESIGN FESTIVAL 2021, which was organised by Craft and Design Institute (CDI) in collaboration with the Mission Network of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in South Africa. The range of incredible actions and efforts coming from civil society organisations was highlighted by guest speaker Andrew Boraine, CEO of the Western Cape Economic Development Partnership, and included Agri hubs and community food gardens. If you aren’t yet involved in a food garden, then consider getting your hands dirty this October – a month focused on food and gardens. Garden Day on 17 October followed shortly after World Food Day on 16 October, which is themed &#8220;Our actions are our future &#8211; Better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life.&#8221; Both activations throw our food system into sharp relief and highlight the need for intervention; every day, millions of South Africans struggle to access affordable, nutritious and good quality food. Food that is produced and consumed locally is a more [...]]]></description>
