Trends and drivers of fertiliser consumption in the South African agricultural industry
The South African fertiliser industry plays a crucial role in supporting agriculture and ensuring food security. However, the country's dependence on fertiliser imports and inefficiencies in the supply chain pose significant economic and environmental challenges. Although South African farmers have managed to improve fertiliser use efficiency over time, broader application of precision agriculture technologies can enhance fertiliser use efficienc…
Long-term evidence for ecological intensification as a pathway to sustainable agriculture
Ecological intensification (EI) could help return agriculture into a ‘safe operating space’ for humanity. Using a novel application of meta-analysis to data from 30 long-term experiments from Europe and Africa (comprising 25,565 yield records), we investigated how field-scale EI practices interact with each other, and with N fertilizer and tillage, in their effects on long-term crop yields. Here we confirmed that EI practices (specifically, incre…
Wayne Barker's ‘Super Boring’ retrospective
Notes on how to win (the L'Atelier) and still be free
Perhaps we have become comfortably numb ever since Barthes' (1977:146) distressing yet emancipating signal that all texts function on multidimensional levels at once, to disclose divergent and clashing opinions rather than a singular foregone conclusion professed by a godly author. Still, one would think that competitions (particularly as texts indicative of an apogee) would, within a traditional understanding of what the word 'competition' stand…
The consolidation of art and craft through self-reflexivity
Current Matters, one of Guy du Toit's more recent works, is self-referential in the true postmodern sense of the word: through being light-hearted or playful at the best of times, it draws the viewer?s attention to the many paradoxes that still exist within the art world, a world of, and within which, this work is part and operates - hence, Current Matters
