Abstract: The Mangaung-University of the Free State Community Partnership Programme (MUCPP) is a comprehensive health care project, established in April 1991 in the Free State Province. It is largely funded by Kellogg’s Foundation, USA. The partnership is a triumvirate consisting of the Community of Mangaung, the University of the Free State (UFS) and the Department of Health of the Free State Province. The Food Garden Management Programme is a very important programme of the MUCPP. The MUCPP Food Garden was awarded PEACE GARDEN OF THE YEAR (1996); in the corporate class in a national competition. The definition of a food garden in this presentation is a piece of land (± 100m2) at the back of a resident’s house which is used for the production of vegetables, chickens, and rabbits, mainly for own consumption. The focus here will be primarily on vegetable gardening and its influence on community development programmes.
