For too long, Africa has been a spectator on the global stage. But thanks to our thriving agricultural sector and vast natural resources, one could argue that we’ve always been green.
The challenge is finding and maintaining a link to skills development, so that the environment’s gain is also our economic gain. At long last, we’ve realised that these don’t need to be at odds. If we take care of our land and water, our crops and soil, our livestock and exports, we’re really ensuring our own future.
Above all, a green economy means more jobs, a better standard of living and a chance at creating a level playing field for all South Africans. It’s about time.
The Cold Press Media team and I are thrilled to play our small part in this initiative. We look forward to a green future.
