The National Land Summit brought together various stakeholders to engage on possible solutions to the subject of land and agriculture.  The Summit explored existing workable solutions and models that have been implemented in different parts of the country as a starting point to learn, unlearn and innovate a harmonious narrative of National Cohesion.   

The Challenges: 

• Every farm is a struggle for survival.  (Tunnel vision, fear) 

• We have lost our Biblical Christ-centered Creational Purpose 

• Welfare state and culture of entitlement, secularism, 

• Antagonistic protests & violence, division & hate.

• Economic meltdown 

• Aging mentor-base, lack of knowledge transfer

• Immigrating know-how, takes generations to replace

• Youth unemployment, difficult access to Commercial Agriculture

• Broken trust at all levels

• Threat of expropriation without compensation

• Titling will take 700 years 

• Farmers receive an average of 10% of sale price

• Farmers struggle to remain profitable, mitigating risks

• Consumer demands but not paying more

• More vertical control raise costs

• Rapid growth in up-skill needed precision farming 

• Closed geographical/commodity/value chain group

• Lack of infrastructure enabling environment

• Alarming growth of Informal settlements 15-16 Million People

  The ultimate test of any religion, ideology or worldview is the benefits it ultimately brings to the poor, the marginalized and oppressed.  If we say we are Christians, we have to take poverty seriously.
