The Uncomfortable Truth about South Africa's Agriculture

Wandile Sihlobo

4.9/5 (13095 ratings)

Description:Wandile Sihlobo and Johann Kirsten chose to write The Uncomfortable Truth about South Africa's Agriculture in a candid, direct and unfiltered tone, not out of disregard, but with the hope of stirring South African agricultural stakeholders from inertia that may have taken hold over time. One clear example of inertia is the endless policy discussions. When the government proposes policy positions – either good or bad – time is spent discussing these policies instead of anything substantive being done. The divisions amongst South African farmer organisations is the core issue behind the interminable conversations and this results in a 'performance of productivity' among participants in these meetings, creating an impression of progress simply because discussions are taking place. While politicians and farmer representatives debate, farmers suffer, the unemployed languish, and small towns crumble. Poor roads and rising costs choke market access, while collapsing municipalities pile pressure on agribusinesses. Things don't have to be this way, and the South African agricultural sector still has great potential to grow, increase employment, and revitalise the rural economy. This book will empower the reader with a clearer understanding of the agricultural constraints and how to overcome them and mobilise the much-needed sectorial focus to implementation. While the contents may be uncomfortable for some, this book is intended to ignite an urgent call for decisive policy and programme implementation and to demand stronger collaboration among social partners.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
