Our Roadmap: 2030

A national initiative designed to unlock agricultural opportunity and convert small-scale farmers into commercially recognized producers. Agriculture holds the power to shift the future of South Africa. According to the National Development Plan, the agricultural sector can create one million jobs by 2030 — but only if emerging farmers are equipped, connected, and supported. That is why NHSA founded the Agri-Hub Training and Development Platform, a dynamic space where youth, women, students, and people living with disabilities gain both skill and access to real markets.
We prepare farmers not just to plant — but to lead, trade, and sustain.
