Food Gardens
& FD+ Compact
We recognise that many Community Food Gardens already exist in South Africa. Although one of RegenCAN’s goals is to develop many more, we are happy to integrate existing Community Food Gardens into the RegenCAN FD+ Compact. This is a transparent mutually beneficial alliance.
We are working closely with some organisations that have many years of experience in establishing and maintaining Community Food Gardens. Their advice is invaluable and greatly appreciated!
More information coming soon!
The Start-up Phase -- Anomalies
During the start-up phase (until a local RegenCAN Chapter’s members reach 100), the Independent FD+ Fundraisers, the RegenCAN FD+ Markets, and the NPO Charity Shops will be the only FD+ Compact outlets to be activated. Regenerative Systems will manage a local RegenCAN Chapter until it reaches 100 members.
A CBO will manage all of a local RegenCAN Chapter’s fundraising & finances, etc. from 100 to 1,000 threshold.
Community Food Gardens and RegenCAN Market Gardens will be activated when RO*FOOD Market Garden System (MGS) sponsors reach 200. RO*FOOD MGS sponsors pay R100 per month to the RO*FOOD Market Garden Development Fund.
The more formal fundraising activities of a local RegenCAN Chapter, for example contact with corporate and international donors, etc. will only occur when a local RegenCAN Chapter is a registered NPO. The registration process will begin when their members reach 1,000.

We urgently need a (new) social compact
The future of South Africa lies in our hands. We the people must grasp the opportunity to reboot society … and boot out the freeloaders and the parasites that drain public coffers.
