The future success of any sector in the digital age is determined largely by its adoption of technology and its strategy for adapting to ever-changing variables. The same is true of the agriculture sector. So how are we integrating the youth into our strategies for production, research and policy? Who are the decision-makers, the change-makers, the fresh-thinkers and the action-takers? And how do we reimagine the whole sector for an often-uncertain tomorrow?

Rusland se inval in die Oekraïne plaas spesiale fokus op die Wes-Kaap se winteroesseisoen van 2022/23 met geleenthede wat ontstaan om die binnelandse produksie van veral gars, ʼn hupstoot te gee. Die kern is om te verseker dat gars volhoubaar met ander gewasse meeding, dat die voorsienningsketting doeltreffend werk en dat risiko’s so ver moontlik beperk word terwyl goeie kwaliteit oeste gelewer word. Hoewel goeie reënval tydens die plantseisoen beduidend positief was, sal verhoogde insetkoste en veranderlike weerstoestande ʼn groot rol speel in die bepaling van ʼn goeie seisoen, te midde van internasionale tekorte.
