Sustainable farming: Woolworths inspires Andile to farm for the future

n this episode, we explore the heart of sustainability in agriculture through the eyes of an influential advocate for change.

In this moving conversation, Food For Mzansi’s co-founder, Ivor Price, sits down with Andile Ngcobo, a passionate agricultural consultant and farmer from KwaZulu-Natal.

Andile was invited by Woolworths to witness their Farming for the Future initiative firsthand — an experience that has reshaped his perspective on sustainable farming and the future of agriculture.

Through this initiative, Andile gained invaluable insights into the importance of healthy soils, natural resource management, and the urgency of integrating sustainable practices into farming.

He shares his eye-opening visit to Mandalay Farm in the Western Cape, where he discovered that true sustainability lies in prevention, not just cure.
