We spoke to Carol “Lizzy” Nyathi, a young farmer from Mpumalanga and founder of Lisima Farming Project. Starting with just 1 hectare, she now cultivates 3 hectares, supplying retailers and local markets. Armed with a degree in Agricultural Management and certified in food safety, Lizzy creates jobs, donates produce, and empowers women and youth. Despite facing water shortages, she continues to expand, inspiring rural transformation and women’s leadership in farming.
