Introducing GreenSouth

Growing resilient and Environmentally friendly Education and Networking in Biodynamic Farming and Horticulture in Southern Africa

GreenSouth is on a mission to boost skills and training in biodynamic and organic farming across South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique! By bringing together five dedicated partners—
vocational training providers, business experts, and agricultural specialists—this exciting project creates new opportunities for Southern African farmers and trainers to learn and grow.

Here’s what we’re aiming to achieve:

  • Align training programs with real market needs, ensuring trainees gain skills that truly make a difference.
  • Develop tailored teaching materials focused on empowering trainers.
  • Launch innovative courses in biodynamic and organic farming, building a network of skilled trainers ready to lead in sustainable agriculture.
  • Share our insights and experiences widely, benefiting communities far and wide.

GreenSouth is all about collaboration—combining EU expertise with local Southern African knowledge to tackle big challenges in agriculture. By focusing on sustainable practices like water management, soil health, and climate resilience, GreenSouth supports the goals of the European Green Deal while addressing local priorities.

We’re committed to leaving a lasting impact, strengthening training programs and empowering communities to thrive. Plus, we’re working to make agriculture more inclusive by encouraging more female trainers to step into leadership roles, building diversity and equity in agricultural education.

Meet Our Partners:

GreenSouth is a collaboration among five organizations, each bringing unique expertise to this initiative. Together, we’re making sustainable agriculture training accessible and impactful across Southern Africa!
