What sustainability really means in agriculture, and sector challenges

Letsema Talks

Sustainability has become an increasingly prominent theme within agriculture, with sellers of agricultural products leaning heavily on the term to reach consumers. Yet, what is meant by sustainability? In this installment of Letsema Talks, we speak to Will Coetsee, the managing director of Botanica Natural Products, a private agri-business based in Alldays, Limpopo. Coetsee tells us what sustainable agriculture should look like, how Botanica anchor themselves to principles that promote sustainability not just with their produce but the wider community, and the challenges facing farmers seeking to operate more sustainably. Botanica Natural Products is a partner of Cirebelle, the African chemistry-led manufacturer of high quality ingredients for the personal care sector. Cirebelle is part of the Letsema family.
