Item The breadbasket of Cape Town: Exploring the links between urban agriculture, land use and food security in the Philippi Horticultural Area (PHA)(University of the Western Cape, 2019) Donn-Arnold, Natasha; Tevera, DanHunger is more than just a feeling, it is the lack of access to safe nutritious food, which in turn may result in anger towards government, low performance, sadness and a limited will to survive. Urban agriculture has been identified as a source of livelihood for many urban residents and could fundamentally change food insecure cities like Cape Town. The Philippi Horticultural Area (PHA) is one such place with an enormous amount of potential to assist the City of Cape Town (CCT) to overcome food insecurity challenges. The PHA is the focus of this thesis that aims to determine the impacts that housing and industrial developments in the PHA have had, and might have in the future, on food security in the Greater Cape Town Area (GCTA). The specific objectives of the study are as follows: (1) To investigate the urban agricultural distribution of the PHA; (2) to investigate agricultural facilitation, people empowerment and the use of land for agricultural purposes; (3) To determine the level of access to food for people within and around the PHA; and (4) To examine the links between the urban agricultural food sector and food production.Item The Geography of Primary and Secondary Education in Rwanda(University of the Western Cape, 2008) Muyombano, Emmanuel; Pirie, Gordon; Dept. of Geography and Environmental Studies; Faculty of ArtsThe study focuses on primary and secondary education rather than tertiary education as primary schools enrol the largest number of Rwandan students and absorb the major share of public spending on education.
