THE FUSE

The Agricultural Research Council (ARC) has taken a strong role in advancing sustainable farming practices through its participation in the North West African Farmers Association of South Africa (NWAFASA) Annual Provincial Farmers’ Day and Annual General Meeting. The event is being held from 27 to 30 May 2026 at Stonehenge in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District in the North West Province. It brings together more than 200 farmers, agricultural experts and sector stakeholders who are focused on improving farming systems and strengthening rural economies. The gathering serves as a platform for knowledge sharing, networking and showcasing practical solutions that can be applied directly on farms. The ARC’s involvement highlights its ongoing commitment to supporting emerging farmers with science-based agricultural innovations.
