The Team on Food Security Projects
Adriaan Van Heerden, South Africa
I have spent more than 30 years working in livestock production, animal nutrition and agricultural management. My experience ranges from developing and managing large-scale feedlots to operating my own cattle business and advising farmers. I am passionate about practical farming solutions, animal health and feed optimization, and I believe that strong knowledge, reliability and hands-on experience are the foundations of a successful agricultural operation.
