The Siyakhana Permaculture Garden has been one of Johannesburg's premier urban food gardens since 2005. The garden is a project of the Siyakhana Initiative for Ecological Health and Food Security, a division of the Wits Health Consortium. Siyakhana works to improve food security, increase access to nutritious and sustainably grown foods, raise awareness of the impact of ecological health promotion, and provide opportunities for sustainable livelihood development in South Africa.
Siyakhana undertakes research, policy advocacy and community-based programmes to achieve our goal of promoting ecological health. We offer training to members of the public interested in urban permaculture gardening, vegetables, mushrooms and medicinal herbs production, nutrition, health promotion and renewable technologies.
