In the Koue Bokkeveld, Western Cape, Worldwide Fruit Limited (WFL) suppliers De Keur and Zonnehaven are charting a new path in fruit farming—embracing regenerative practices that restore soil health, boost yields, reduce carbon emissions, and improve climate resilience.
More than a shift in techniques, their story reflects the mindset changes, motivations, and lessons that come with pursuing long-term sustainability. It highlights not only the on-farm benefits but also the broader value of regenerative agriculture and the vital role farmers play as stewards of the land.
Compiled by Blue North, this is the first in a collection of case studies to be released in 2025, showcasing progress, challenges, and opportunities across WFL’s supply chain. These stories illustrate how growers are responding to rising input costs, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, and increasingly extreme weather—while leading the way in building stronger, more resilient food systems.
