THE FUSE

The Limpopo Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, working together with Eastern and Southern African Small-Scale Farmers’ Forum South Africa, is currently hosting a two-day climate change and food security workshop aimed at strengthening farming communities in the Capricorn South Agro Ecological Zone. The workshop is taking place at the Lebowakgomo District Offices Hall and brings together farmers, government officials, and development partners. It is focused on building practical skills that help farmers respond to climate change challenges that are already affecting production systems. The programme is designed to support small-scale farmers who face the highest risk from droughts, floods, and unpredictable rainfall. It also aims to improve food security and nutrition outcomes in rural households through better agricultural practices.
