Farming With Nature

This podcast is a knowledge resource on conservation agriculture in South Africa. The inspiration comes from a group of farmers in the Southern Cape who pioneered the method in South Africa, effectively changing 'desert' into valuable agricultural land. The principles of conservation farming is to work adjacent to nature rather than rigidly trying to control and manipulate it. This, along with time passing renders significant, stable and healthier results for all role players involved. We interview farmers and specialists in their fields connecting you directly to the source.
