Despite an 'alarming' drop in milk consumption and skyrocketing input costs, the number of dairy farmers leaving the industry seems to be dropping. While the Milk Producers' Organisation are somewhat encouraged by this, there is little good news for the small-scale farmers who are being forced out of the industry by market forces

We have reached the last day of September and we’re celebrating with an exciting webinar and a virtual workshop on agriculture-related topics.

On the agenda today farmers and processors, including all the players in the agriculture value chain, are invited to a market accessing webinar. FNB agribusiness will give an outlook on SA agriculture post covid-19 in a virtual briefing and you can tune in to the Farmers Inside Track podcast that will feature two exciting experts and a foodie.

In this week’s episode of the Farmers Inside Track podcast no stone goes unturned as we delve into tips and tricks for running a thriving nursery and discover the magic of garlic.

We look forward to the feature with yet another industry powerhouse female, Rhenasia Manuel, the CEO of GrowBox, a nursery in the centre of Hanover, a Cape Town suburb marred by crime and social ills.

Later in the show MC Loock, senior manager of agribusiness at Standard Bank joins us to chat about diversification as a risk management strategy.

In another lip smacking insert of the Mzansi Flavour segment we hear from Dane Vermeulen, foodie and Yehbaby Digital’s systems leader who shares her secret for the perfect South African home cooked meal.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 11 global awards in the first three 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.
