BFAP's 2026 conference brought together leading experts, policymakers, and stakeholders to reflect on the evolving landscape of South Africa's agriculture and food systems. The event marked 16 years since BFAP contributed to the drafting of Chapter 6 of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030.
As South Africa approached the conclusion of the NDP's implementation horizon, participants explored agricultural prospects to 2050 and debated how a strong export-led growth strategy could be aligned with the country's food security objectives.
