About CODE
So no part of the problem falls between disciplines.
CODE is a multidisciplinary team working in South Africa and Zimbabwe. We have taught, researched, written grants and delivered projects in universities, colleges and rural communities across the region.
Vision
An Africa in which universities, organisations, industry and communities collaborate to advance sustainable agriculture, strengthen climate resilience and improve food security and rural livelihoods.
Mission
To make sustainable agriculture a reality, not just a theme, by equipping institutions and communities with the partnerships, skills, funding and technology to grow more food, use water and energy wisely, adapt to a changing climate and earn more.
