The Kiepersol and Tzaneen farms have been recognised as Heroes for their contributions to sustainability in the following areas:
Two Oaks Farming is a second-generation family farming business situated in the subtropical areas of Kiepersol, Mpumalanga, and Tzaneen, Limpopo. The climate and soils are perfectly suited for the cultivation of Macadamias. Two Oaks Farming started converting gum plantations, avocado and banana orchards to Macadamias 30 years ago.
Umvangazi is exploring solar power to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy.
Driving speeds are limited to lower fuel use and emissions.
Irrigation is managed using Irricheck, guided by soil moisture, crop needs, and weather data.
Prunings and husks are composted and returned to the soil to boost fertility.
Indigenous corridors and game have been reintroduced. IPM and biological controls are used, and invasive species are removed.
Organic waste is composted, and used oil is sold for recycling.
Carbon Heroes is an independent digital platform celebrating food and agri-businesses taking meaningful action across key areas of sustainability. From compliance, commitment, carbon and water to biodiversity and transparency, it recognises those going the extra mile to build a resilient future.
