Sustainable practices has become an increasingly prominent theme within agriculture. Sellers of agricultural products lean heavily on the term to reach consumers. Yet, what is meant by sustainability?
In this installment of Letsema Talks, we speak to Will Coetsee, the managing director of Botanica Natural Products, a private agri-business based in Alldays, Limpopo. Coetsee tells us what sustainable agriculture really means, and how Botanica anchor themselves to principles that promote sustainability. These principles do not just apply to their produce but the wider community. He also touches on the challenges facing farmers seeking to operate more sustainably.
Botanica Natural Products is a partner of Cirebelle, the African chemistry-led manufacturer of high quality ingredients for the personal care sector. Cirebelle is part of the Letsema family.
