MAKHOTSO SOTYU | We call on all hands on deck in protecting our precious natural resources that provide food, feed and fibre.
This year's theme seeks to highlight how much of what people eat and wear is derived from nature, the land and the soil that support all life on earth. Statistics indicate that, by 2050, food production will require an extra 593-million hectares of agricultural land, while at least 80% of agricultural land globally is used for grazing and grain production to feed animals.
The department of environment, forestry & fisheries working with other government and non-state actors, remains steadfast in implementing programmes that aim to rehabilitate the land and enhance the productivity of land. We will continue to make funds available for such programmes, as they do not only serve to preserve the environment, but also contribute to improving and sustaining the livelihoods of our people.
