Today’s farmer with modern farming methods is also, as confirmed by the cultural mandate in the Bible, a steward of God’s creation. If this stewardship does not take place, agricultural conditions will weaken to the point of endangering food security. In a country like South Africa, which is not agriculture-friendly, this would be catastrophic. The conservation of natural resources, water issues, mining and exploration, conservation farming, energy, and infrastructure are all threatened by shortsighted and ideologically-driven legislation. TLU SA will continue to oppose any regulations or legislation conflicting with the preservation of creation, acting as stewards of our land.
