Meet Farmer, CD Du Toit

In this episode, our spotlight shines on a visionary whose commitment to conservation agriculture was the only path forward. Introducing CD du Toit, a qualified soil expert who has embraced a journey of transformation driven by two compelling themes.

The episode introduces us to CD’s unshakable conviction in conservation agriculture. For him, there was never an alternative path. He sees the land not just as a resource, but as a delicate ecosystem that requires careful nurturing.

His underground “livestock” are earthworms, and his focus extends to the intricacies of cation balance and soil biology. CD’s story is one of passion and purpose, as he walks us through his profound understanding that those who care for nature reap sustainable profits.

The episode also unveils CD’s journey of practicing conservation agriculture in a challenging terrain – up the mountain. His commitment to sustainable practices didn’t waver, even in the face of geographical adversity. CD’s tale is a testament to the boundless potential of conservation agriculture, even in the most unconventional settings.
