Growing Food Security Starts with Growing Knowledge.
As South Africa’s pork industry continues to face pressure from Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and African Swine Fever (ASF), the need for skilled, knowledgeable agricultural professionals has never been greater. These outbreaks have affected livestock production, disrupted supply chains, and reinforced the importance of investing in long-term food security through education and responsible farming practices.
Through the CLW Programme under AfriGrow, food security begins in the classroom.
CLW is developing future farmers, agricultural entrepreneurs, and industry professionals by providing practical, industry-relevant training that prepares learners to meet the challenges facing modern agriculture.
Students are equipped with knowledge in:
* Biosecurity and disease prevention.
* Sustainable livestock management.
* Agricultural entrepreneurship.
* Food production systems.
* Responsible farming practices that strengthen South Africa’s food security.
Every classroom session is an investment in resilient communities, stronger agricultural value chains, and a generation capable of safeguarding the nation’s food future.
