It’s another exciting day in agri, Mzansi! Keep on learning and improving your impact on the planet by attending a webinar on low-carbon lifestyles.
If your farm and crops have been plagued by pests and you either can’t or don’t want to spray a ton of pesticides every season, you really should look into biological pest control. There’s a great free webinar focusing on biological control options in vegetable production specifically this evening.
There’s also a webinar on the land question in South Africa.
