Nonhlanhla Joye (also known as Ma’Joye)[1] is a South African community farmer, cancer survivor,[2][3] and founder of the Umgibe Farming Organics and Training Institute[4].[5] Born in the village of uMpise,[6] KwaZulu Natal, she learned farming from her parents[1][2] and later studied herbology abroad.
In 2014, following a cancer diagnosis, Joye developed a unique "plastic bag system" for farming.[7][1] This innovation led to the creation of Umgibe,[6][5] which empowers rural farmers with sustainable farming techniques[3] and business management skills.[1][4] Her work significantly impacts food security[5] and economic independence in her community.[8]
