About
Located in the Eastern Cape – an area of expansive grasslands known for beef and wool production – TruQuest provides training for commercial and communal farmers.
The region is home to the country’s largest group of communal livestock farmers, whose subsistence life is impacted by vast tracks of degenerating land – increasingly unable to sustain the number of animals on it.
Therefore, the Hub’s core focus is training communal farmers in Holistic Management to help restore the depleted grasslands and renew economic health in the communities through enterprise development.
In 2019 Flanders’ Government provided funding for the Communal Agricultural Transformation (CAT) project: a climate change adaptation initiative focused on land regeneration and community empowerment.
Livestock farming forms the backbone of many poor rural African communities – without restoring land through regenerative management, this way of life remains gravely threatened.
TruQuest’s vision is to be part of the regenerative solution in Africa.
