This collaborative project tackles food insecurity, unemployment, and environmental degradation in Bushbuckridge. Through a community hub, partners offer training in agroecology, river rewilding, and resilience building.

The EcoHub tackles invasive species and creates economic opportunities, such as biochar production. Project Biome supports with expert project management and resources through strategic collaborations, supporting regional landscape regeneration through collaborative action.

Founded by the SAOSO Foundation, Heal the Planet is a transformative program focused on regenerating food systems through agroecology, landscape restoration, and watershed management, with a focus on empowering youth and women. Anchored in the Participatory Guarantee System network of Southern Africa, it offers a holistic approach to decentralizing food systems while addressing environmental and socio-economic challenges. This is a scalable model promoting food sovereignty and community resilience.
