SATI Beyond The Bunch 3rd Quarter 2026

FURTHER READING

l Climate change mitigation is one of the cornerstones of the SIZA Environmental Standard, and growers can use the SIZATrack360 platform to capture, manage, and share their emission data. SIZATrack360 also links to the carbon calculators offered by Confronting Climate Change and AgrigateOne. l Confronting Climate Change was born out of consumer concerns about food miles. Read more about this ground breaking collaboration, which included SATI and other fruit-industry bodies, the Western Cape Department of Agriculture, and implementation consultancy Blue North. Or go straight to the source at the Confronting Climate Change website. l The December 2023 issue of Hortgro Science’s Fresh Quarterly magazine has several articles about climate change. The December 2025 issue has an article about carbon bookkeeping that explains the difference between corporate and product carbon footprints. l Are you confused about the difference between greenhouse gases and CO 2 -equivalents? Or carbon fixation and sequestration? Read this Fresh Quarterly article on carbon jargon. l For down-to-earth climate change mitigation, learn more about conservation agriculture (in Afrikaans) in Beyond the Bunch 2024 Q1, overhead plastic in Beyond the Bunch 2024 Q2, and precision irrigation and nutrition in Beyond the Bunch 2026 Q1.
