The beauty of a city not only enhances people's lifestyle, but also improves their mood, sense of belonging and healthy functioning. The Agriculture and Environmental Management Department is responsible for seeing to it that Tshwane residents have access to parks, landscaped public spaces, nature reserves, resorts and swimming pools. It further ensures attractive burial sites and improves household food security. By partnering with stakeholders and using the best technology available the department strives to ensure a sustainable environment, equitable agricultural development and efficient waste management.
