Now these farmers can employ more people, and with the demand for additional produce, they can open up more of their land to regenerative farming practices that use no pesticides and focus on ecosystem diversity, crop rotation, composting and growing crops without disrupting the soil.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Shop for real food<\/h4>\n<p>The Market is a source of genuinely exceptional local produce; food that is fresh, healthy, seasonal and that builds and strengthens local economies. \u00a0The ingredients are fresher &#8211; and that much tastier. As an example, farm-grown oysters and mussels \u2013 with no damage to the aquatic system. They\u2019re kept in better conditions and they get to market faster &#8211; which means they\u2019re fresher. It\u2019s those farmers we need to support &#8211; the farmers who are working the land or the sea and are doing right by it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/OZCF5-1000x560.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17819 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/OZCF5-1000x560.jpg\" alt=\"Oranjezicht City Farm Market\" width=\"1000\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/OZCF5-1000x560.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/OZCF5-1000x560-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/OZCF5-1000x560-940x526.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ozinsky adds, \u201cThe V&amp;A Waterfront have shown themselves to be truly committed to the goals of expanding access to local organic produce and creating opportunities for our small-scale local and organic farmers.
