Hierdie is woorde wat mens aan die dink sit, en indien nie, dink weer daaroor!
Navorsing se primêre doel is om nuwe omgewings- en produksieaspekte op die voorgrond te plaas. Praktyke en benaderings wat fokus op groei(kg), produksie (weiveld), effektiwiteit, innovering, vernuwing en volhoubaarheid, om ‘n paar te noem. Navorsing lewer ‘n besondere inset aan die landbouer. Die onderstaande aspek kom ook uit die navorsing, nie nuut nie, maar vandag nog relevant.

What influences our decisions making process? Why do we repeat practices within our farming business, nevertheless the fact that we are through such difficult times already once!
This change process is more complex that one imagine as this derives from aspects that are not commonly investigated by ourselves nor that we make time to learn these aspects as these are not tangible, unknown to us or because it needs another level of intervention and understanding with which we are not familiar of.
Our thinking and action is shaped by our past (near or far) and also applies to farming practice we… Read More
