Backed by The Shoprite Foundation’s infrastructure and run by the school, this bold initiative aims to fight hunger, fuel entrepreneurship, and reframe farming as a high-tech engineering challenge. Students aren’t just learning theory — they’re growing food, training for plant production qualifications, and sharing harvests with their community. With proven success from similar projects, this is more than a garden; it’s a movement to empower youth and nourish neighborhoods.
