Where it all begun
In the past the team was involved in numerous agricultural projects in Southern Africa. A vast number of different projects were planned, implemented and managed by the team members.
This totalled more than 615,251 hectare over a period of more than 30 years. Farmers were settled on mixed farming systems consisting of dairy and cattle farming incorporated in combinations of crop and irrigation farming. Crops utilised in the programs were a large variety such as maize, wheat, soybeans and vegetables. Many projects were implemented consisting of specialised crops such as sugar cane, forestry, citrus, herbs and spices and various fruit crops. Other specialised projects included tourism and nature conservation, dehydration factories, processing of agricultural produce and tobacco farming.
