I love how animals just eat the whole thing with the peel. So health conscious and environmentally sustainable

In accounting there’s a concept called work in progress (WIP). This allows an accountant to record partially completed products under inventory in your balance sheet. In agriculture your newest planted fields are WIP. If you know your plant population and general market prices then this value can be captured in your balance sheet. Boosting your bankability. 🏦🌾 Commercial farming is as much about operational discipline as it is about what grows in the ground. 🌾📊 If you aren't tracking incoming inputs, the condition and value of your assets, your plant population or tracking market prices then your balance sheet looks weak. At Bread, we help producers build structured, audit-ready operations from the ground up.  I lead a multidisciplinary team—combining my background (MSc in Soil Science) with crop science, agricultural extension, agtech systems, and operational field support. We’ve officially launched 1-on-1 operational consulting to help you tighten your farm systems.  💡 Our Full Consultation Scope Includes: 1️⃣ Food Safety Compliance & Audit Prep (SA GAP / Local GAP)  2️⃣Farm Financials, Accounting & Tax Readiness  3️⃣Farm Management Systems  4️⃣Soil Health Assessment & Conservation Principles  5️⃣Concierge Admin & Regulatory Support ⚠️ Transparency First: To ensure maximum value, please note our sessions do not cover detailed crop disease diagnostics or universal market linkages for non-supported crops.  👉🏽 Book your session with our team here: ⁠[ breadafrica.co.za/book ] #Agribusiness #FarmManagement #AgriTech #BreadAfrica #CommercialFarming #Agriculture #InventoryControl

75% of the world’s food is generated from only 12 plants and 5 animal species.

And it narrows even further. More than 40% of the calories people eat come from just three crops, rice, wheat and maize.

South Africa is literally Gotham City. 🦇 The police, “mob” and politicians are all in cahoots and doing evil things. “The city needs me”

A divine woman is a mirror and a muse. Her presence kills the ego while nourishing the soul. Only a brave knight can thrive in her light.

Science works in perfect conditions, but real life doesn't have a closed ecosystem. 🌾  At Bread, we bridge research and real-world farming by grounding tech in practical experience, real supply chains, and direct access to farmers.  Build value, not just products. 💡  🎧 Listen to the full episode on @RootOfTheSciPod: 📺 YouTube: bit.ly/4ydvWow 🟢 Spotify: bit.ly/3SZcc8Z 🍏 Apple: bit.ly/4hGk4Fy  #AgriTech #Agribusiness #BreadAfrica

Just a quick stop to collect knowledge from some Indigenous Professors. 👩🏽‍🏫 👩🏽‍🌾👩🏽‍🌾 These farmers will supply us with 2 Tons of Amadumbe seeds and 33 000 sweet potato vines so we can trial production in Mpumalanga 😃👩🏽‍🌾 We’re literally building an indigenous value chain from scratch. Seed, production guides, markets and funding! 🔥🔥🔥 #BreadAfrica 🚜 #FeedAfrica 🖤

Do you guys know that all commercial strawberry 🍓 seedlings in South Africa come from one supplier in the Western Cape? Gauteng’s biggest supplier is growing strawberries on 200ha in the North West. This family in the South of Joburg are supplying Woolies and are growing strawberries on 8ha They’ve asked me to help them with their farm admin so they can track their performance, maintain food safety compliance and grow their business 😃👩🏽‍🌾🫡

12k mega farms produce 80% of South Africa’s food. My dream is to put even a little bit of a dent on that. Luckily I get to work with some giants in the space towards that goal. Mam Betty has received a production grant to grow 1ha of Amadumbe and Sweet Potato 🍠 for one of my clients. #BreadAfrica 🚜👩🏽‍🌾 #IndigenousFood 🌍🙏🏾
