In a historic first, South Africa’s top young farmers and agripreneurs will descend on Jozi for the Mzansi Young Farmers Indaba. Proudly presented by Food For Mzansi, the event on 15 and 16 September will connect top talent with investors, funders and other stakeholders seeking partnerships with the new faces of South African agriculture.
The exciting programme, which will be unveiled next month, will feature top speakers from both the business and agriculture sectors. This, as attendees deliberate on the hot topics facing them, including blended finance models, climate change and access to land.
