Suid Afrika -’n Totale begroting van R1,1 miljard word benodig om hulp te bied aan boerderygemeenskappe in KwaZulu-Natal weens die gewelddadige onluste wat in dié provinsie plaasgevind het. Die bedrag is deur die KwaZulu-Natalse departement van landbou en landelike ontwikkeling bepaal.

'n Internasionale navorsingstudie wat die beduidende toename in byevrektes aan 'n blootstelling aan landbouchemikalieë toeskryf laat die vrese opnuut ontstaan dat voedselsekerheid én natuurlike ekostelsels daadwerklike bedreiging in die gesig staar.

South Africa’s agricultural sector is export-orientated. Nearly half of the annual produce, in value terms, is exported in regular and good seasons. The 2020/21 season has been one such season, producing the second consecutive strong output performance, with an even larger harvest for major field crops, horticulture and the wine industry than in 2019/20.

It’s estimated that by 2022 more than one billion bottles of organic wine will be consumed annually. But just because a wine is labelled organic doesn’t mean it’s necessarily good for you and the environment. Here’s why you should rather be on the lookout for biodynamic wines.

Did you know that honeybees are responsible for $30 billion a year in crops, and they pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world? Yes, these humble bees have high significance to the environment and human nutrition – not for their honey production, but for pollination.

Future projections point to temperature increases of between 2 gradeC and 5 grade C by 2100 (compared to pre-industrial temperatures).

Bek-en-klouseer is weer in die Zambezi-streek waargeneem, het die Namibiese landbouministerie bevestig. Volgens ‘n mediaverklaring is 1 300 beeste in 18 krale besmet. Die besmetting het nou vanaf Kabbe-suid na Kabbe-noord, Katima-landelik en Kongola sedert die uitbreking in Junie versprei. Boere in die Zambezi word gemaan om nie hul diere onwettig oor die grens te neem nie.

ANC’s irrational attempt to amend the Constitution to allow for expropriation without compensation is indicative of the political problems the party is experiencing within its electorate, a thoughtless leadership that has already coxswained South Africa into an economic marshland, and of a lack of insight and awareness of the international consequences for trade, diplomatic relations and investor confidence.

After years of consuming high volumes of antibiotics, China appears to be well on the way to reducing its antibiotic usage. In 2019, the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture was already reporting a substantial decrease, and a recent article in The Lancet confirmed that trend.
