Our impact will be achieved when prosperous, equitable and viable communities in South Africa are maintained. The government of South Africa aims to transform the agricultural sector so that it allows the entry of black people to participate meaningfully in the economy and the food production value chain. Transforming South Africa’s agricultural sector will create jobs, raise incomes, reduce malnutrition, and kick-start the economy on a path to middle-income growth. In fact, almost every industrialized nation began its economic ascent with an agricultural transformation. This is at the heart of MCG’s efforts to foster policies, programmes and projects that allow the agriculture food system, land, and water resources management reforms for a type of transformation that contributes to poverty reduction, as well as food and nutrition security.

Sustainability

There is a need for agriculture food systems, land reform and water resources management initiatives to deliver economic, social and environmental benefits. At MGC Pty (Ltd) we understand sustainability as the ability of the implemented interventions (i.e. policies, programmes and projects) to continue in a particular defined behaviour indefinitely, underpinned by the following principles:

Sustainability Discription
Environmental

The ability to maintain rates of renewable resource harvesting, pollution creation, and non-renewable resource depletion that can be continued indefinitely.
MGC hopes to boost production, taking into account the environment and the long-term possibilities for maintaining or increasing the use of productive resources while maintaining or reducing the impact on the environment.
Economic

The ability to support a defined level of economic production indefinitely.
MGC hopes to boost production and productivity; achieve higher local value addition; improve the competitiveness of producers, producer organisations and small and medium sized industries; support the development of the financial sector; create employment (particularly for youth and women); provide sustained increase in household incomes; reduce poverty; and enhance food security.
Social

The ability of a social system, such as a country, to function at a defined level of social well-being indefinitely.
MGC hopes to contribute to social equity, liveability, health equity, community development, social capital development, social justice, community resilience, and human adaptation.
