In celebration of Nation in Conversation's tenth anniversary, this popular discussion forum will not only boast a revitalised brand presence, but also a more dynamic format thanks to sponsors such as Bayer, Engen, Grain SA, John Deere, Nedbank and Senwes.
Nation in Conversation was first launched at Nampo in 2013 and the first production took place under the auspices of the then Senwes Future Focus conversation forum. The aim of the forum is to bring together role players in the agricultural sector and to reflect on issues, locally and internationally.
Theo Vorster, co-founder of Galileo Capital and Wandile Sihlobo, chief economist of the agricultural business chamber Agbiz, will act as facilitators this year and together with various experts, sector leaders and role players they will tackle the following themes:
• The state of the economy: onwards and upwards.
• Nature matters: the responsible use of chemicals.
• Better access: infrastructure and logistics.
• Let’s fix it: the regeneration of rural communities.
• Diversification and the integration of livestock.
• Data in agriculture: a new era.
• The future of agriculture: a new generation.
Forty specially invited guests will be part of each of the sessions and the conversations will be broadcasted from a brand new studio. The discussions will also be streamed live from the Nation in Conversation Youtube channel.
