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.

This feature generates automated answers summarised from Food For Mzansi articles. By using it, you are interacting with an AI system (provided by Google), not a human. AI can make mistakes. Please refer to the source articles for verification and citation purposes.

Our staff do not check or moderate Lerato’s answers in advance, but may review some later. Our journalists continue to write and edit all the articles Lerato uses as sources.

To estimate unique and returning web users, we store a random browser ID in this browser. WhatsApp users are counted by phone number. The same person using both channels may be counted twice.
