This is part 1 of a special series with Nedbank, unpacking the bank’s R7,1 million investment to support South Africa’s next generation of farmers. In this episode, Dr Nirmala Reddy explains how two major programmes are helping young and established farmers build sustainable, future-ready agricultural businesses.
We explore Nedbank’s African Greeneurs programme, supporting young farmers with land, training, and market access, and the Subtrop Farmers initiative, helping established farmers scale and enter global markets.
Dr Reddy highlights why true transformation requires more than funding: it demands resilience, mentorship, market access and a strong ecosystem of partners. Tune in to hear how Nedbank is helping farmers move from job seekers to job creators and reshaping South Africa’s agricultural future.
