THE FUSE

The Department of Agriculture, in collaboration with the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environmental Affairs, is hosting the Agri Tech Youth Expo at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein as part of Youth Month commemorations. The event is designed to recognise and celebrate the role of young people in the agricultural sector while promoting agriculture as a modern, innovative and opportunity driven industry. It brings together government leaders, students, researchers and industry stakeholders to engage on the future of farming in South Africa. The expo reflects a national commitment to youth development through practical exposure to agricultural careers and innovation. It also reinforces the importance of agriculture in driving inclusive economic growth and long term food security.
