Do you know that 13 of the 14 warmest years on record have happened since our calendars went from 1999 to the year 2000?
Our country has become increasingly familiar with extreme weather. In places like the Free State and North West we saw drought that devastated the prospects of farmers and reduced them to tears -- and then came floods which caused millions of rands damage! The eastern parts of the country only had floods.
The United Nations' World Meteorological Organisation released its annual report today which confirms a disquietening trend of droughts and floods and extreme weather around the world.
Climate change and global warming is one of the chapters in The Agri Handbook.
This was the initial blog of The Agri Handbook, South Africa's biennial reference book for the agri-food industry where you will find points of reference for all subsectors which make up the agricultural value chain. Whether you are a new farmer looking at your options or an old hand wanting to diversify your operations but wondering where to start, you will find value here. Visitors are invited to also look at https://agribook.co.za/ where the latest chapters may be read.
