A couple of years ago, adaptability was needed in the agricultural environment. Today, this is still one of the key drivers for survival in a global arena, but equally important is identifying beneficial partnerships with the ability to find co-operative and creative solutions for the many challenges facing the sector.
This ability is particularly important in creating food certainty as defined in the Agri SA congress manifest.
“Food certainty is different from food security. It is something more. Food certainty depends on the ability to buy food that is safe, available and affordable, with money earned from being employed, from viable and sustainable businesses that pay taxes that are used to build and maintain infrastructure and services. This is a sustainable view on food certainty,” said
