Youth Farming is on the Rise in Rural South Africa

We have seen a 44% growth in the number of youth farmers enrolled in our Nisela Organic Farming Programme since 2020! The youth of our rural community is discovering opportunities for entrepreneurial spirit and economic prosperity. We caught up with Thabiso and Ntobeko to see them getting their hands dirty, right here in the place they call home. With new ideas and loads of ambition, they tell us what it's all about!

With high youth unemployment rates in South Africa, we are encouraged by our youth and their contribution to sustainable food security and the local economy.
