Relationship with, and attitude to, the environment
Afrikan Farms sees itself as a developing African commercial farming business that uses sound and sustainable agricultural practices. This approach is coupled with effective management principles underpinned by its commitment to transformation, sound biodiversity management , sensitive management of the ecology of the soil, and appropriate grazing practices that promote this healthy ecology.
Afrikan Farms recognizes that for it to be sustainable and achieve the above it must employ commercially sound management practices. The company has committed to transform its farming methods in the next three to five years to reflect this approach and progressively increase its community transformation initiatives that involve the employees of Afrikan Farms, as well development initiatives for the local community.
The sustainability of these initiatives is integrally linked with the profitability of Afrikan Farms. However, Afrikan Farms has engaged in these development initiatives even in the years when its own operations where not profitable. This has become a way of doing business.
