Sponsored by Tech Terrain

South African farmers are often reliant on the communities in which they operate as a source of labour, and their fate is intertwined with these communities.

That is why they are often at the forefront of driving big social development programmes, as well as providing many basic necessities for their workers such as housing, water, electricity, medical and childcare.

Farmers’ commitment to their communities was recently highlighted during the lockdown period with massive donations of food to vulnerable households.

Farmers and commodity organisations are also at the forefront with knowledge transfer and training programmes to assist developing farmers.
