THE FUSE

The global agricultural sector is undergoing significant changes, driven by technological innovation, evolving market demands, climate challenges and the need for more sustainable food production. These developments are influencing how farmers produce food, how agricultural businesses operate and how organisations support the industry. Agricultural societies, exhibitions and trade shows also need to adapt to remain relevant and continue creating value for producers and other stakeholders. These important issues were at the centre of a presentation by Grain SA Chief Executive Officer Tobias Doyer at the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth conference in Cape Town. His participation provided an opportunity to consider how agricultural organisations can respond to a changing global environment while continuing to support farmers and contribute to the future of agriculture.
