THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 12 global awards in the first three years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication.

We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
