WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY. Did you know that contact with microorganisms in soil supports a healthy gut-brain axis? Healthy soils create nutrient-rich food, which supports our cognitive function. Soil underpins the green spaces that our mental health relies on. Look after your mental health. #growyourfruitiq

While the combined turnover value of the pome and stone fruit industries remained stable at R19.7 bn year-on-year and business confidence improved, several producers are yet to recover from the losses accumulated over the previous two seasons. Under increasingly difficult market conditions, the rand’s weakening supported net export realisation, but on the other hand, there were sharp rises in input costs. https://lnkd.in/e7YsGQck

2024 is die jaar wat Dean Barnard altyd sal onthou. Nie net is hy die Wes-Kaap se Jongboer van die Jaar nie, maar hy pluk ook die wêreld se grootste pruim. ’n Allemintige 484 gram bielie, Autumn Treat variëteit, wat hom ’n Guiness World Record gee. Terwyl die media toustaan vir onderhoude, stroom die uitnodigings na Landbou geleenthede in. Sy voete is egter plat op die aarde. Lees Dean se storie hier: https://lnkd.in/dcc2ZBMU
