English with Englsih, Northern Sotho and Tsonga summaries / Since the inception of the homestead food garden programme in Gauteng Province, more
than 3 000 individuals in the City of Tshwane Region 7 have benefited from the
programme. It is not known whether the gardens were actually established after
beneficiaries had received the tools from government, or whether the gardens still exist and
produce food. The aim of the study was to investigate the contribution of the homestead
food garden programme to household food security in Region 7 in the City of Tshwane
Metropolitan Municipality. The study population consisted of beneficiaries of the homestead
food garden programme from 2013 to 2016 in various wards in the region. The objectives
of the study were to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of the beneficiaries;
to assess the current status of the homestead food gardens and other support programmes
in which the beneficiaries were engaged; to assess the contribution of the homestead food
garden programme to household food security (availability, accessibility, utilisation and
stability); to ascertain the factors influencing food availability in the households of
beneficiaries; and to identify the constraints and benefits of homestead food production.
The study used a quantitative research approach involving a survey design. A semistructured
questionnaire was used for data collection through face-to-face interviews in the
homes of participants. The random sampling technique was employed to acquire a
proportionate sample of 258 participants. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. The analysis of quantitative data included
frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation, standard error of mean, a
binomial test and the Ordered Logistics Regression (OLR) model. Themes and codes were
used to analyse data from open-ended questions (qualitative data) and convert them to frequencies and percentages. The results showed that 73% of women participated and96%
participants were Black Africans. Youth participation was 19%. The participants who could
read and write because they had received primary, secondary and tertiary education were
84%. The average family size of the respondents was five, ranging between 1 and 47
household members. 83% of the participants relied on social grants (child, old-age and
disability grants) from government as their main source of income. 83.3% participants had
backyard (homestead) gardens for their households and 26% of participants consumed
vegetables from their homestead food gardens. The household expenditure of 74% of
participants included the cost of vegetables, which they had to buy regularly. The food
availability results showed that 51% and 50% of the participants cultivated their backyard
gardens during summer and spring respectively. This implied that there were adequate
vegetables in the households of most participants during those seasons. It was discovered
that 60% of the participants experienced anxiety and uncertainty because they were
worried over the previous four weeks that their households would not have enough
vegetables. The coping strategy mostly adopted by 69% of participants was to purchase
cheap vegetables when there was lack of vegetables from the gardens. 55% participants
consumed vegetables frequently because they either had enough harvests from their
backyard gardens or had money to buy vegetables. The factors that positively influenced
vegetable availability were participants’ age; the number of support programmes available to them; the existence of backyard gardens; and access to water. Some of the major
challenges that systematically hindered homestead food gardens were insects; pests and
diseases; crop damage by livestock, birds and rats; a lack of water for irrigation; a lack of
production inputs (seeds, chemicals, fertilisers and others); and insufficient space to plant
or establish a garden. The study found that the major benefits of the homestead food gardens were the consumption of fresh, healthy vegetables from the backyard garden and
saving money by not having to buy vegetables. Based on the results of the current study, it
is suggested that youth participation should be bolstered to ensure the future of homestead
food gardens as the majority of the participants were older than 35 years. It is also
suggested that other support measures should be taken to ensure the continuity of the
homestead food garden programme, such as training programmes and access to water,
fencing and production inputs (seeds and fertilisers) for homestead food gardeners. / Go tloga mola go thongwago lenaneo la dirapana tša dijo la motsana ka Profenseng
