In this edition we focus on how farmers can get organic certification. Organic food refers to the agricultural practices used in the growing, processing, storage and sale of this produce and this week we share a guide for new farmers.

We’re back with Meadow Feeds, who farmers really turn to for more than just feed. Gay Boomgaard, divisional technical manager for poultry at Meadow Feeds shares a guide to start a layer production for smaller farmers in South Africa.

Our #SoilSister, Junior Perekwa grew up farming, but she never thought the day would come when she’d call herself a farmer. A marketer by profession, she spent 23 years working in different organisations but today she is one of the women selected for the Corteva Women Agripreneur 2022 programme.

And, our farmer tip of the week comes from Andile Matukane, Founder of Farmers Choice. She shares a few tips to grow spring onions.
