@Kgosientso_R @OfficialGDARD@GautengProvince Excellent suggestion I’m sure the agricultural research council will be an important partner for enabling agriculture to be resilient to climate change and sustainable development

In times of the Soviet Union there was a communist wall in Berlin; which Ronald Reagan instigated & the wall came down. Now how does the leader of the free world insist on building another wall to prevent free movement and exchange of ideas among people? What happened to USA?
@FarmersWeeklySA We at the ARC wish all South African Farmers the best in these difficult drought times. Let’s thank those helping farmers in distress. Merry Christmas to you all let’s work towards water conservation, no till planting and the use of drought tolerant cultivars
Experiences of drought have pushed sout Africa to be innovative in looking at drought tolerant cultivars, partnerships in identifying and managing fall armyworm as well as appropriate incentives for conservation agriculture, say minister Zokwana
Consumers need a farmer everyday of their lives, sometimes 3 times per day. Not the same for lawyers and other professionals!! 80% of current global food production is from family farmers!!
