Western Cape government backs Philippi's farming potential
--:--
The Philippi Horticultural Area has been Cape Town’s breadbasket since the 19th century and continues to produces one thirds of the city’s leafy vegetables. This area continually replenishes the underground aquifers to provide a constant, free source of water supply for the farms. Now we know recently, the PHA has been under threat due to commercial development.
Now the Western Cape government has thrown its weight behind PHAs farming potential and the development of an integrated agri-park in the area. Beverley Schäfer, , the Standing Committee Chairperson on Economic Opportunities, Tourism, and Agriculture joins us now
