In 2010, Absa, Engen and the Woolworths Trust have committed R12m over the next three years to EduPlant, a permaculture food gardening programme coordinated by Food & Trees for Africa that encourages schools to cultivate their own food in an ecologically sustainable manner. The programme has been operating for the past 16 years across South Africa. 
The global supply chain survey being undertaken by Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) can be completed electronically in 12 minutes and affords South African supply chain and operations professionals the opportunity to participate in global research that is extremely significant for SAPICS and for the local supply chain community. It ends at the end of February 2010.
