THE FUSE

The planting season launch in Ngaka Modiri Molema is highlighting the importance of resilient farming, sustainable food production and preparing farmers for changing weather conditions. Led by the North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the initiative promotes a forward-looking approach to agriculture that recognises both the achievements of the current harvest and the work needed to prepare for the next planting season. The launch takes place under the theme, “Resilience Through Adaptation – Celebrating the Harvest While Preparing for the Next Season.” This message encourages farmers to reflect on their progress while making practical plans for future production. It also places climate-smart agriculture at the centre of efforts to strengthen food security, protect farming livelihoods and support sustainable agricultural development in the North West province.
