Why LandCare programme?
Agricultural land is available in a fixed supply. In order to
optimize on the agricultural potential of SA and meet the
national food requirements it is necessary to reduce and
manage risks such as erosion, overgrazing, bush
encroachment, alien plant infestations & soil nutritional
deficiencies
Management of these risks prevents starvation &
