www.syngenta.co.zaSyngenta believes that the future of agriculture should be
shaped rather than left to chance. Therefore, in partnership with
the University of the Free State’s Business School, we have
developed a tailored leadership development programme and
successfully implemented it from 2013 for young commercial
growers to equip them to address the challenges of tomorrow.
The Grain Academy will benefit the individual on a personal and professional level and will contribute to the
greater agricultural community. It will consist of three modules of three days each and will take place at the
University of the Free State, Bloemfontein.

“I expected to learn about crops – but instead the biggest shortcomings were addressed – my managerial
skills and leadership development!”
