Our goal is to redirect South African agriculture toward regenerative methods that rebuild our soils, reduce input costs, protect and enhance the natural environment, mitigate climate change, produce nutrient-dense healthy foods, promote biodiversity, animal welfare and economic justice to farmers and farmworkers.
