Curried Chicken Day

Yes, National Curried Chicken Day is really a thing. Promise. Every year, 12 January is set aside to honour that most spicy of main courses – chicken curry. From Asia to the Caribbean, this dish has a huge following among those who like a bit of heat in their food.

Making a South African butter chicken curry dish from scratch is an art that, once mastered, could become your signature dish. Be sure to check out Mzansi Flavour for no-nonsense dinner and other recipes.

Pasture management for limited-resources farmers

Small-scale farmers with limited resources will surely benefit from a global webinar on some of the tools needed to better understand the benefits of good pasture management.

It will discuss why continuous grazing is not sufficient, how to find and create global markets for products, and unpack the importance of establishing a business entity and keeping it separate from one’s homestead. The webinar is presented by the US-based Food Animal Concerns Trust, and will kick off at 23:00 today Mzansi time. Sign up here.

Researchers, scientists, engineers, and farmers exchange and share their experiences, ideas, and research results. Click here to join the conference from 11:00 Mzansi time.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
