Today we held an inspiring "Youth in Agri Workshop" at Moletsane High School in Soweto. This workshop is part of our youth month theme of “cultivating the seeds of tomorrow” by engaging young minds in agricultural opportunities. The event featured a diverse program covering topics like backyard farming, selecting the right crop varieties, comprehensive farming guides, and agri-skills courses. Speakers from various organisations shared insights on partnerships, market benefits, and career paths in agriculture. This workshop reflects our commitment to empowering youth in agriculture and fostering the next generation of farmers and agri-entrepreneurs in our country.
