THE FUSE

The Eastern Cape Department of Agriculture continues to strengthen its commitment to rural development and youth empowerment through targeted educational outreach. A recent evaluation visit to Diamond Senior Primary School in the Alfred Nzo District Municipality shows how practical agricultural education can shape the future of communities. The visit focused on equipping young learners with knowledge that connects directly to daily life and long term sustainability. Officials engaged students in meaningful discussions around agriculture, conservation, and food production. This approach reflects a clear strategy to build awareness early and encourage responsible environmental behavior.
