The Grassland Society of Southern Africa (GSSA) is the umbrella body representing those with an interest in range and pastures. Of course, that covers a wide range of disciplines including ecology, botany, zoology, range and
pasture science, animal science, soil science and genetics.
Our very best greetings to them: the organisation turns 50 this month! The annual congress will be held at the Royal Agricultural Showgrounds in Pietermaritzburg from the 21 - 23 July.
The GSSA is relevant to several chapters in The Agri Handbook, including Rangeland/veld, Forage & pastures and Seeds & seedlings.
Find the review of The Agri Handbook which appeared in the GSSA's African Journal of Range & Forage Science here.
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.
Thank you for you kind birthday greetings.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the abiding and sustaining fascination of all things grassy, we remain an inquisitive and vigorous quinquagenarian, ready for for adventures into the wonders and myriad ecological mysteries of our unparalleled verdant veld.
Warm regards
the GSSA
