Our next guest hosts a weekly Twitter Space that engages emerging farmers on the challenges they face in the agricultural sector. The online community aims to bring together expertise and illustrate that agriculture can become a sustainable business. The #FarmingIndaba has engaged a range of issues such as the impact of the petrol hikes on input costs, livestock, irrigation systems, building new value chains, finance and access to land. The platform also provides business development advice, networking opportunities and provides pitching opportunities for young farmers.
