AgriGroomers

1. Background AgriGroomers is a Non-Profit Company founded in 2014 by students of Cedara College of Agriculture and University of KwaZulu Natal (UKZN). The primary purpose for such initiative is to create a strong sense of readiness for students to face the work place environment with deep insight and understanding of factors affecting the agricultural sector in South Africa and around the world. The idea generated from a concern regarding student's exposure and readiness for the market place, and hence we carry a vision of creating a platform of opportunities for learning, networking and participating in various aspects of agricultural sector, where individuals gain motivation and global understanding of agriculture and its market. What we do We appropriate a culture of scholastic and practical learning through our specially designed programmes to create agricultural awareness. We work with the ethical approach of engaging youth in dialogues and debates around opportunities and challenges in the sector of agriculture. By working together with a clear vision we find opportunities, solutions and connections with relevant stakeholders. We also identify projects that can effectively bring change in our communities, and therefore see ourselves as change agents in our country. 2. Our Identity a) Vision Create a platform of opportunities for learning, networking and participating in various aspects of the agricultural sector, where individuals gain inspiration and global understanding of agriculture and its market. b) Mission To close the gap between: students and the marketplace; research and implementation; agricultural services and communities.
