Agrarian Conversations webinar

Farmers make a living from livestock on extensive dry land, and have much to teach us all. Given increasingly common agrarian struggles, the first edition of Agrarian Conversations will explore the opportunities to learn from sheep and cattle farmers. It also looks at the importance of seeking greater engagement across agrarian movements.

The Agrarian Conversations series aims to address strategic and urgent issues in and in relation to the rural world today. Tune in at 14:00 today.

Register for the webinar here.

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.
