Agriculture is a key contributor to the economic development and GDP of South Africa. Over the last two decades, agriculture has been subject to economic changes which have impacted the industry. In addition, climate change is progressively changing the environmental, social and economic conditions in this sector. The effects of climate change pose a threat to the region’s water resources, food security, health, infrastructure, ecosystem services and biodiversity.
