Five days of hands-on agricultural training equip aspiring farmers with practical skills in sustainable food production, vegetable cultivation and livestock management, promoting food security and sustainable livelihoods.
Five days of learning, practical engagement and agricultural discovery came to an end as Salaam Foundation successfully concluded its Livestock and Vegetable Production Training Programme, held in October 2026 in Robertsham, Johannesburg South, with practical training held in the Farm at the Vaal Dam.
Facilitated by Hlompho Jankie in collaboration with Salaam Foundation, the intensive one-week programme brought together aspiring farmers and community members eager to develop practical agricultural skills and explore opportunities within the farming sector.
Throughout the five days, participants gained foundational knowledge and practical exposure to vegetable production, planting, harvesting and livestock management. The training highlighted the value of sustainable food production and the opportunities that agriculture presents, whether through establishing household food gardens, developing small-scale farming initiatives or pursuing livestock production for consumption and income generation.
Beyond the technical knowledge gained, the programme encouraged participants to recognise agriculture as a meaningful pathway towards greater self-reliance, food security and community development.
At Salaam Foundation, we believe that investing in practical skills is an investment in people, their futures and the communities they serve. Equipping individuals with relevant knowledge and hands-on experience creates opportunities for sustainable livelihoods while contributing to broader efforts to address food insecurity.
As we celebrate the successful completion of this programme, we extend our appreciation to Hlompho Jankie for facilitating the training and sharing valuable agricultural knowledge, as well as to all the participants who committed their time and enthusiasm to the learning experience.
