2Organic poultry and pig production 

This online conference shares unique knowledge on ration-planning, sustainable and regional feeding for pigs and poultry, and welfare self–assessment tools. It includes a policy debate targeting a wide range of audiences including policy makers, farmers and animal welfare associations, processors, feed companies and retailers. This last part might not be of interest for farmers in Mzansi, but we’re sure there will be many other things to learn during this online conference!

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.
