Back in the studio, Rozanne talks to Prof Elain, Manager Corporate Services, Clover Mama Africa Trust. Prof Elain explains why this incredible project has was awarded the best CSI Project in 2017, an accolade the trust has won for the third time.
 
Thereafter the cameras go to the Juna Dairy near Henley on Klip where farm manager Jurie Hartley tells us that a passion for animals makes all the difference in producing quality milk from their 700 dairy cows. 
 
We also visit the Clover cheese processing plant in Lichtenberg where General Manager, Sarel Swanepoel takes us through the process of cheese production and the quality control measures in place at the plant.
 
Back in studio, Nation in Conversation regular Dr Ferdi Meyer of BFAB, chats to Rozanne about how the fact that there are less milk producers currently producing more litres per year, impacts the industry.
