Assinala-se o Dia Internacional das Mulheres Rurais, este ano sob o lema “Mulheres Agricultoras Rurais a Cuidar da Mãe Natureza”, que destaca o papel fundamental das mulheres na produção alimentar, na conservação da biodiversidade, na gestão da água e na protecção dos recursos naturais. Apesar de contribuírem significativamente para a segurança alimentar e a sustentabilidade ambiental, muitas mulheres rurais continuam a enfrentar dificuldades no acesso à terra, ao crédito, à tecnologia e aos mercados agrícolas. A desigualdade de género, o trabalho não remunerado e os efeitos das alterações climáticas agravam ainda mais estes desafios. Para compreender a realidade das mulheres rurais, os obstáculos que enfrentam e as medidas necessárias para valorizar o seu contributo, conversamos com Rukssana Saide, fundadora da Dream Agrobusiness Lda em Moçambique Lightbox link for post with description Assinala-se o Dia Internacional das Mulheres...

🌱🎙️ **What happens when a broadcaster discovers that her voice can do more than entertain, but also educate, empower and help transform an entire industry?** On **#TheUpside**, **Poppy Ntshongwana and Ntsako Mhlanga** sit down with award-nominated broadcaster, content producer and agricultural communicator **Mmatsheko Mosito** to celebrate the launch of Channel Africa's new audiovisual podcast, **Planting the Seed**. With **18 years of broadcasting experience**, Mmatsheko reflects on her journey from music radio to becoming a passionate voice in African agriculture, sustainability and food systems. What began as a weekly agricultural radio programme on Channel Africa has now evolved into a **45-minute audiovisual podcast**, bringing together farmers, researchers, entrepreneurs, policymakers and industry leaders to explore the opportunities and challenges shaping agriculture across the African continent. But this conversation goes beyond agriculture. Mmatsheko opens up about finding purpose in her work, embracing personal growth, celebrating her individuality and using her platform to connect people, create opportunities and amplify voices that deserve to be heard. **In this conversation, we explore:** 🌱 **From Broadcasting to Agriculture** - Mmatsheko's 18-year journey in radio and media - How she transitioned from music broadcasting into agricultural communication - Why she describes her work as connecting voices across the agricultural value chain - The evolution of *Planting the Seed* from radio show to audiovisual podcast 🚜 **The Future of African Agriculture** - Emerging opportunities for young people in agriculture - Why agricultural careers extend far beyond traditional farming - Innovation, agribusiness and climate-smart agriculture - The importance of connecting farmers, researchers, entrepreneurs and policymakers - Food security, sustainability and the changing African agricultural landscape 👩🏽‍🌾 **Empowering Women in Agriculture** - Mmatsheko's vision for an Emerging Agrarian Women Guild - Creating a knowledge-sharing and leadership platform for women - Connecting female agricultural professionals across different industries - Strengthening collaboration, mentorship and representation 🎙️ **The Stories Behind Planting the Seed** - What audiences can expect from the new 45-minute podcast - Conversations about agricultural research, food justice and entrepreneurship - Highlighting grassroots changemakers, including a rural Limpopo veterinarian using his own resources to vaccinate animals - Making agricultural knowledge more accessible to audiences across Africa ❤️ **Finding Purpose Beyond the Microphone** - Why Mmatsheko sees her career as an opportunity to serve others - The importance of authenticity, spirituality and personal freedom - Balancing motherhood, career ambitions and personal fulfilment - Choosing meaningful impact over visibility for its own sake - Her hopes for the future and why helping others discover their potential remains central to her purpose One of the most powerful reflections from the conversation is Mmatsheko's belief that **having a platform is not simply about being seen or heard, but about using that visibility to help others recognise their own potential.** Through *Planting the Seed*, she hopes to make African agriculture more accessible, celebrate the people transforming the sector and create meaningful connections between those shaping the continent's food systems. **Whether you're interested in agriculture, entrepreneurship, media, women's leadership or discovering your own purpose, this conversation offers something to take away.** 🎙️ **Presenters:** Poppy Ntshongwana and Ntsako Mhlanga 👤 **Guest:** Mmatsheko Mosito, Broadcaster, Agricultural Communicator and Host of *Planting the Seed* 📻 **Programme:** The Upside | Channel Africa 🌱 **Featured Podcast:** Planting the Seed 🌍 **Focus:** African Agriculture, Women in Leadership, Broadcasting and Personal Growth **Watch Planting the Seed on Channel Africa:** 🌐 Website: https://www.channelafrica.co.za 💬 Have a topic or guest suggestion for *Planting the Seed*?
