Parktown Girls is a really great
school. This is a well known fact if you are an old Johanessburger (to
be held distinct from old Johannians, who of course are keener on St
Johns, another fine old Johannesburg school.
And Because they are one of
Johannesburgs finest old educational institutions they are of course
right on top of the task of keeping up to date with modern
environmental concerns.
They're keen on showing the girls
attending their school just what is involved in growing food the
healthy way. The project goes further than that though, since this
particular school veggie garden has some swanky connections. They're
going to be supplying their produce to the Cube Tasting Kitchen in
Parktown North. So a lesson in microeconomics then too. Actually I
mustn't sound patronising, these days microeconomic enterprises of
this nature are turning into what an old school entrepreneur might
have called 'a regular little cash cow'.
Fact is, people pay high prices for
quality organic produce and anyone prepared to do the research, learnhow and then plan and execute a food growing project can actually
become self sustaining at least, if not really very profitable, quite
rapidly. It is all about having just the right know how at your
fingertips and that last sentence is what Positive Cycle is all
about. In a nutshell: Positive Cycle strives to ensure access to
quality bio dynamic know how. In a world full of GMO, unlikely
corporate promises and growing global food insecurity, knowing how to
get the earth to produce a varied and healthy crop is becoming more
valuable each and every day.
