In 2019, more than 60% of South African female shoppers report that they consider costs when grocery shopping. Soaring food price hikes in South Africa mean we need to make eating on a budget, while being healthy, top of our priority list.

Seasonal eating is consuming food (with reference to fruit and vegetables) that is grown and sold during its optimal growing season. Eating seasonally also helps to give your body its season appropriate nutrients-that is why we find ourselves craving for and eating certain foods during certain seasons.

His parents started farming on their own on communal land and after our next guest matriculated and relocated to Welkom, he used some of his salary to buy cattle to keep on his parents’ land.

In 2005, when he heard about an opportunity to apply for access to land through the former Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ (agriculture department) Proactive Land Acquisition Strategy programme, he submitted an application. This was finally approved three years later, and he was granted access to lease the 200ha farm Sterkwater, which has 60ha of arable land and 140ha of grazing land.

Fashion Revolution Week, the annual global campaign calling for a fashion industry that values people and the planet over growth and profit, will run from Monday 19th – Sunday 25th April 2021. This year, Fashion Revolution is calling on the fashion industry and governments to recognize the interconnection between human rights and the rights of nature. The campaign group believes we need a radical shift in our relationships—with each other, with our clothes, within fashion supply chains and with the natural world—so that the rights of people and the rights of nature hold more of the power wherever decisions are being made.

Fashion Revolution argues that the human exploitation and ecosystem degradation we see all around us today are the product of centuries of colonialism and globalized exploitation, stemming from a western-focused worldview in which human and environmental prosperity are seen as isolated and disconnected from each other. They believe we need this revolution for our own prosperity and well being, and for the health of our earth and our oceans. This Fashion Revolution Week, they will be are bringing people together from across multiple communities, amplifying unheard and marginalized voices, and working together to explore interconnected solutions.

Healthy relationships with ourselves and others require one thing that many folks struggle with: boundaries. Simply put, boundaries are limits that we put in place to help us assess what is our responsibility and what is not, and it also defines what our limits are.

Ultimately, boundaries teach people how they are allowed to interact with us and when we set boundaries with ourselves, it teaches us accountability and how to tap into our sense of agency. Having healthy boundaries help us to strengthen our relationships because they allow us to meet others’ needs while being able to meet and respect our own. The reality is we cannot be everything to everyone, and our boundaries help us take care of ourselves while simultaneously caring for others.
