Greenfields women transform food garden into organic venture

In Greenfields, KuGompo City, a dedicated group of nine women running the Sozingca Multi Services Primary Co-op are transforming a primary school vegetable patch into a commercial enterprise. Operating out of Sinomonde Primary School, the initiative already supplies fresh greens to neighbours and school feeding programmes, while aiming for full organic certification and access to major retail markets. Supported by grassroots agricultural bodies and local mentors, the members are mastering organic farming standards and branching into agroprocessing. Although all current revenues are reinvested into tools and seedlings, the co-operative is steadily laying the groundwork to turn sustainable agriculture into reliable, long-term livelihoods.
