value of land and the upcoming municipal elections,
as well as the consequences of the drought,

platforms and it will be more user friendly. Users can
look out for the Nation in Conversation application
which will be available in various App Stores in
due course. This application will place Nation in
Conversation in the palm of the public’s hand and will
expand agricultural and topical matters further than
ever before.
Enthusiasts can also follow all the studio discussions
during NAMPO via YouTube, on the Nation in
Conversation website and/or on the application.
Interactive participation is high on the priority list
in order to include viewers, listeners and readers in
the discussions and to discuss their comments and
questions in the studio.

Senwes works in the interest of the agricultural sector.
By making human resources available, mobilising
role players in the agricultural sector and putting
initiatives in place, Senwes helps to motivate thought
leaders to initiate discussions on sensitive agricultural
issues and to find solutions. “It is in the interest of all
concerned to ensure the safe and stable functioning
of the agricultural sector, in which producers will be
supported and motivated. For this reason we attempt
to reach consensus and to overcome the challenges
faced by agriculture. We attempt to bring about
co-operation which will lead to a better and more
sustainable future for agriculture”, Strydom explained.
This year’s Nation in Conversation will attempt to
encourage dialogue of an exclusive and solution
driven nature from 17 - 20 May and we are excited
to have a number of main stream media partners
on board.
Nation in Conversation will have two external
broadcasting areas (in front of Farmer Patents and the
Hinterland Hall) with huge LED-screens. This luxury
will make it possible for more NAMPO visitors to follow
discussions and to be part thereof.
Provision will also be made for those concerned about
bandwidth and megabytes by means of social media,
which will be used to take the discussions to the
nation. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn will
keep users abreast of every day’s discussions.
In a continuous attempt to discuss problems and
other issues as soon as possible, the discussions can
be viewed on various TV-channels during the week
following NAMPO Harvest Day.
Keep an eye on the media and our website for the
program, topics to be discussed and panel members.
