Neutrog has had a presence in South Africa for some 20 years now, and during that time Charles Bertram, Director of Neutrog South Africa, has had the opportunity to learn and contribute to some incredible organisations and projects.

Charles recently visited the township farmers at Abalimi Bezekhaya in Khayelitsha (an area outside of Cape Town). Each farmer in the town has a small plot of land where they grow a range of vegetables including eggplants, spinach, carrots, broccoli and onions. The vegetables that they grow are sent to the urban markets where they are sold, providing income for the farmers while supplying healthy food to an impoverished area. 

Charles conducted a workshop about soil health and creating long term sustainability in farming. With very nutrient deficient sandy soils, the farmers have used Bounce Back and compost to build up the soil, creating ideal growing conditions for their vegetables. Due to lack of funds, all inputs are 100% biological with Neutrog supplying Bounce Back to use in their program as part of a sponsorship.
