This Unisa accredited Short Learning Programme was designed and developed by the Unisa College of Agriculture and Environmental Science (UCAES) and the South African Institute for Distance Education (SAIDE) together with a number of other community development stakeholders from various institutions (e.g. Agricultural Research Council, Medical Research Council, University of KwaZulu-Natal) with expertise in dealing with Food Security and Nutrition issues. The development of the programme was made possible through donor funding provided by the WK Kellogg Foundation.The remaining three modules of the programme are in the final stages of development and will be uploaded shortly. The programme is currently being piloted in the Eastern Cape. The materials are being released as open education resources under a creative commons licence.
