Many farmers aim to expand their businesses, increase their income and build more resilient farming operations. For some, mixed farming offers a practical way to achieve these goals by combining different agricultural activities on one farm. It allows farmers to produce a wider range of goods and reduce their reliance on a single source of income. The progress of Kibiti Farming in the Eastern Cape shows how this approach can support rural agricultural development. With support from the Eastern Cape Rural Development Agency (ECRDA), the farm is growing its operations and building a more diverse business.
