This week Dr Naudé Malan, an academic and the founder of Izindaba Zokudla (“conversations about food”) joins us in the Farmer’s Inside Track podcast studio for the first episode of our brand-new season. In season 2 we are digging down into climate-friendly agriculture. We speak to farmers and experts about the effects that the climate crisis is having on agri in South Africa.

Malan describes himself as “the laziest farmer” in the Soweto-based farmers’ lab he founded in 2015. He is affectionately known as Mashudu, a Venda name meaning “the fortunate and the lucky one”. He earned these nicknames in honour of his commitment to helping up-and-coming farmers in Mzansi’s townships.

Farmer’s Inside Track is supported by Food For Mzansi. Inspiration for your business and life from South Africa’s farmers and agripreneurs. Love how we salute the unsung heroes of agriculture? Why not connect with us on our social media platforms.
