In Conversation with Phetole Raseropo

Agriculture is often seen as something that happens far away from the city, but our next guest is proving that meaningful farming can begin right in the heart of our communities. Known as “The Seedling Guy,” Phetole Raseropo is the founder of P Agriculture Group in Soweto, where he is using agriculture to create opportunities, empower young people, and inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs. From establishing community food gardens and school- based agriculture programmes to create innovative initiatives like the Ugly Potato Sale, his work goes beyond growing confidence, creating employment and changing the way people think about food and farming. Today, we find out more about the man behind the movement and the vision driving it all. Welcome to the show, Phetole. Twitter · Instagram · Facebook
