Smart labour management solutions

In today’s world, there is a growing concern about the sustainable development of the agricultural sector. The United Nations carried out the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, which deeply relates to this subject. To ensure that people can fulfil their potential in dignity, equality and a healthy environment. To ensure that agricultural production is done in an ethical working environment where fair employment and scientific management are guaranteed at the same time.

However, in the global agricultural sector, we are not really on track to archive the SDG target by 2030 (FOA 2021). There are still many challenges in the agricultural sector that slow down the transformation Agri-food system. It then requires further input from the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) sector to provide the accelerations. The Agri-food system is expected to become more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable. With the STI empowerment, the Agri-food system will provide better production, nutrition, environment and better life that leaves no one behind. The compliances have become real day by day for the commercial farmers, especially those focusing on the international market.

NCEDISA, a client of Baobabtrees in South Africa, is committed to bringing the 4IR influence to the cultivation sector of South Africa by creating and introducing a smart labour system. This system is embedded in the rich operational experience of NCEDISA on the labour management for many leading commercial farms in South Africa. The introduction of the system will ensure the commercial farms fulfil the labour audit requirements, generate GRI reports, and ensure ethical trade and production traceability.
