The farmyard is an innovative concept largely targeted at youth and women.

The farmyard repurposes containers into local stores for youth and women to sell farm produce, promoting healthy diets in their communities.

MEC Mbali Hlophe said the farmyards are part of the fight to ensure Gauteng is food secure.
