Set against the raging land debate, For the Love of the Land introduces South Africans to the unsung heroes of the agricultural industry. A diverse crop of farmers from across the country share heartwarming stories, at times surviving generational tragedies that plague our past.

From the farms and agri-­businesses who feed South Africa, the book focuses on the power of land to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.

Set against the backdrop of our heated land reform debate, this book proves that farming is often a labour of love – Gloria Serobe, Founding Member and CEO of Women Investment Portfolio Holdings.
