The year 2014 marked an important milestone for various reasons to many people. South Africa celebrated its 20th anniversary of democracy. The Centre for Sustainable Agriculture at the University of the Free State also celebrated its 20th centennial.
We have come a long way, changing curricula at regular intervals to remain relevant in the ever-changing agricultural environment of Southern Africa and being sensitised by national and international imperatives.
We are greatly honoured by the involvement of Magdalena Blum from the FAO in Rome.
This centre is privileged to have her as our first Philosophiae Doctor (Honoris Causa)
