The three-day conference is meant to address the impact of climate change.

Eastern Cape farmers and various stakeholders have gathered at the 61st annual conference of the Agricultural Economics Association of South Africa, in Gqeberha.

The three-day conference is meant to address the impact of climate change on crop production and to come up with solutions to mitigate severe effects. The province has recently dealt with extreme weather conditions such as floods, droughts, heavy rainstorms and veldfires affecting farmers’ production.

Eastern Cape MEC for Rural Development and Agrarian Reform, Nonceba Kontsiwe says this conference is meant to equip farmers with the skills to be able to withstand extreme weather conditions and protect their crops. “They are bringing some technologies, first to look at the situation and then to be able to detect the weather conditions so that people are prepared, so that they have ways and means of mitigating such conditions. Our food security is really dependent on the weather conditions, both the climate and the rains that will come. So, we are grateful to be invited here so to input and get the facts and how to mitigate such conditions.
