Invasive Alien Plants (IAPs) have invaded large areas of South Africa, resulting in numerous negative impacts on indigenous biodiversity and local ecosystems.

With the widespread usage of chemicals worldwide, a Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) has been created to standardise the hazard communication material of chemicals, for example, through chemical product labelling and Safety Data Sheets (SDS). The aim is to ensure that the hazardous properties of chemicals can be understood world-wide… Continue reading Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)

Soil houses not only the roots that provide life to crops, but it also houses the needed nutrients, soil structure to prevent erosion, ensures proper water retaining capacity, helps regulate the climate, ensures housing for carbon traps that in turn give us clean air, and above and beyond all, it provides us with life.

WUE refers to the amount of water that is used to produce one unit of crop. In agricultural terms, it is usually calculated as the litres of water used to produce one kilogram of product (e.g. fruit, grains etc.).

If time is money, agriculture would be considered poor. This is because it always seems that there is never enough time.

Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems that, among other benefits, reverse climate change by building soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil organic biodiversity.

Sustainability within the Agri industry, and most other industries globally, has become the flavour of the day. Ever mounting pressure on the environment has forced us to rethink our methods and methodologies when it comes to our business practices.

Invasive alien plant species (IAPs) are species whose introduction and/or spread outside their natural distribution threaten biological diversity.

Climate-smart agriculture can be defined as an approach to transforming and reorienting agricultural development under the new realities of climate change.
