A key driver is the Gen Z Vineyards initiative (not to be confused with Kleine Zalzeโs Project Z) โ fresh minds, long-term vision, and work that actually moves the needle.

Dr Jan Greyling of Stellenbosch University mapped technological change from the Rotherham swing plough in 1730 to mRNA vaccines in 2020. After nearly 300 years, the lesson remains: farmers must adapt continuously and keep up with tech advances.@FarmersWeeklySA#Vinpro
