Waaipoort Farm is an initiative of the registered NPC Sustainable Community Development (Registration number: 2002/000195/08)
We live and work on a small farm outside the village of Rosendal/Mautse in the Eastern Free State of South Africa.
We are building up a Permaculture Research Institute as a best-practice model of intelligent life in this Biosphere.
Our intent is to become co-designer of an alternative food-network, one that:
- slows and mitigates climate change,
- works with available, non-extractive water resources to re-hydrate landscapes,
- Reduces carbon consumption,
- Builds more structural resilience through plant, animal and microbial diversity to buffer us from catastrophic events,
- Relocalizes food production, processing, distribution and consumption on a culturally responsive scale and
- Empowers people from all cultures and livelihoods to actively and passionately participate in community-based processes and policy changes that build toward true food democracy and climate justice.
