Die Sandveld langs die Weskus van Suid-Afrika is bekend as een van die belangrikste aartappelverbouingsgebiede in die Wes-Kaap. Die landbousektor in die Sandveld is afhanklik van grondwater vir besproeiing. Aartappels Suid-Afrika (ASA) het beduidende beleggings gemaak om die grondwatervlakke en -onttrekking in die gebied deurlopend te monitor met die doel om sy waterbronne te beskerm en volhoubare aartappelboerdery vir toekomstige geslagte te verseker. Dit is vanjaar die 30ste jaar dat grondwater in die Sandveld gemonitor word.
For centuries, transhumance—the seasonal migration of livestock across vast landscapes—has been a pillar of ecological balance, biodiversity, and sustainable agriculture. Yet today, this practice is disappearing, threatening soil health, wildfire prevention, and rural economies. It’s time to rethink transhumance—not as a fading tradition, but as a modern solution of regenerative agriculture. The world is searching for scalable regenerative farming solutions. Transhumance offers a proven, natural method to heal landscapes, fight climate change, and sustain local economies.
The wine industry in Napa Valley, California, in the US is showcasing how farmers can integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technology efficiently to supplement labour without displacing a workforce. This was according to a report by Associated Press (AP), which explained that “new agricultural technology such as AI could help farmers cut back on waste, and run more efficient and sustainable vineyards”. This was achieved through the monitoring of water usage “and helping to determine when and where to use products such as fertilisers or pest control”. Farmers surveyed by AP reported that AI-backed tractors and irrigation systems could minimise water usage by analysing soil or vines.

While AI thrives on data and algorithms, human intuition operates on subconscious reasoning and experiential knowledge. Understanding the fundamental differences between these two can help us appreciate their unique strengths and limitations. READ MORE -
In die laat sewentigerjare het 'n paar Landbouers waarvan ek een was in die Noord Wes- Vrystaat begin met deklaagbewerking nadat ons uitgevind het hoe die sandgrond gekompakteer het met jarelange ploegaksie. Die ploegblad soos dit bekend gestaan het was op ongeveer 12 duim en dit was ongeveer tussen 3 en 6 duim dik LEES MEER
Agricultural trade between Mexico, the United States, and Canada is an undeniable success story. Under the USMCA framework, these three countries have built one of the most robust and efficient agricultural supply networks in the world. However, a key question arises: Are we doing enough to maximize this potential and lead the global agricultural market? READ MORE
This is especially critical for South Africa's agriculture. The sector is export-oriented, with exports reaching a record US$13,7 billion in 2024, up 3% year-on-year. The export markets and products are varied, with the African continent absorbing nearly half, while the EU, Middle and Asia, and the UK are also sizable markets. South Africa should not rest on this success, but should maintain deepen trade relations in regions where capacity remains. READ MORE

Farming isn’t your typical 9-to-5 gig. It’s a lifestyle that demands early mornings, late nights, and plenty of time operating machinery or walking the land. That’s where Audiocast shine. They’re hands-free, portable, and don’t care if you’re covered in dirt or steering through a muddy field. Unlike a book or a video, a Audiocast doesn’t ask you to stop what you’re doing—it joins you in the cab, the shed, or wherever the day takes you. And farmers are listening. Surveys suggest that a significant chunk of the agricultural community—some estimates say over a third—tune into ag-related podcasts regularly. Whether it’s catching up on market trends, learning about the latest in soil health, or just hearing a good story from another grower, these audio shows have become a go-to resource.
15 Best South Africa News Podcasts
AGRI NEWS NET on NUMBER 7 for the month of February 2025
The numbers tell the story: Audiocast listenership is climbing, and agriculture is no exception. By some estimates, over 100 million people in the U.S. alone are tuning into podcasts, with farmers and ranchers making up a dedicated slice of that pie. Successful ag-focused shows are racking up thousands of downloads per episode, and some are even attracting sponsors eager to reach this engaged audience.
Global container volumes are on an upward trajectory, with January recording 15.4 million TEUs, a year-on-year (y-o-y) increase of 5.8%, according to data from Container Trade Statistics (CTS).“Using the CTS data, we calculate that global TEU miles – adjusting for nautical distance sailed – grew 8.1% y-o-y in January, soaking up more vessel capacity,” says Alan Murphy, CEO of maritime consultancy Sea-Intelligence.
Die Departement van Landbou en Landelike Ontwikkeling (DARD), in samewerking met die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU), het ’n landbou-sentrum (Agri-Hub) by die Molelwane-plaas op die Mahikeng-kampus gestig.
Die belkraanvoël – die grootste, seldsaamste en mees bedreigde van Suid-Afrika se ses kraanvoëlspesies – is afgegradeer van kritiek bedreigd tot bedreigd. Belkraanvoëls, wat in die winter broei en afhanklik is van vleilande, is in 2015 as ‘n kritiek-bedreigde spesie in sekere gebiede gelys toe slegs 267 voëls tydens ‘n lugopname in KwaZulu-Natal aangeteken is.
’n Onlangse studie deur GEOSS in Stellenbosch toon dat grondwaterkwaliteit in die Sandveld, ’n belangrike aartappelverbouingsgebied in die Wes-Kaap, verswak het, met dalende watervlakke. Grondwater, wat in waterdraers onder die grond gestoor word en deur reënval aangevul word, is kritiek vir besproeiing in hierdie streek, maar kan uitgeput raak as onttrekking die aanvulling oorskry.
President Cyril Ramaphosa proclaimed the Climate Change Act, effective from Monday, March 17, 2025, though the implementation of many key sections has been postponed to allow for the development of supporting regulations.
Milk production ranks as South Africa’s fourth largest agricultural sector, generating around R25 billion in gross value in 2023. With 1.4 million dairy cattle, the country produces approximately 3.34 billion liters of milk annually, supporting a robust supply chain from farms to processing plants.
Thabile Nkunjana, senior agricultural economist with the National Agricultural Marketing Council's (NAMC) trade research unit, reports that 2025 marks a promising start for South Africa's agricultural sector. The country has secured new markets for grapes in the Philippines and apples in Thailand, enhancing its global trade reach.
The Joburg Market recently took part in the 17th Annual Agricultural Research Symposium and Innovation Expo, organized by the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD) in Roodeplaat, Pretoria.
Tydens die onlangse Graan SA-kongres op NAMPO Park buite Bothaville het deelnemers te midde van politieke en ekonomiese spanning ’n poëtiese boodskap van eenheid ontvang. Jaco Breytenbach, ’n boer uit Fouriesburg en voorsitter van die SA Graan-tydskrif se redaksiespan, het Boerneef se gedig “Die berggans het ’n veer laat val” voorgedra om landbouers se veerkragtigheid te beklemtoon.
The World Weather Attribution group found that human-induced climate change doubled the likelihood of extreme rainfall events like the one that struck KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in 2022, shifting its frequency from once every 40 years to once every 20 years.
