Every day there’s something new to learn in the world of agriculture, and with all the online opportunities, it’s easier than ever to have access to international agriculture learning opportunities. Sign up for two free webinar opportunities, both starting today. You could even join both. If you are looking to expand your knowledge on crop risk management, or basic lambing skills, read below to see where you can sign up. 

If you haven’t signed up for the first two days of the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture, you’re in luck! There’s still opportunity to sign up today for the last three days and join around 2,000 international participants from politics, industry, science and civil society to discuss agri-food policy issues.

The GFFA is an international conference on central issues of vital importance for global agricultural and food policies. It is held in Berlin on an annual basis at the same time as the International Green Week (IGW). 

The forum features a large number of events that provide an international audience of experts from the worlds of politics, business, science and civil society with an opportunity to address and reach consensus on issues and challenges relating to global agricultural policy and food security. 

No registration is necessary to watch. If you want to join in the discussion, simply register here free of charge.

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.
