This collection acknowledges the expanding influence of digital platforms in South Africa.

Tropentag is an annual international conference on research in tropical and subtropical agriculture, natural resource management and rural development. The theme of the Tropentag 2024, ’Explore opportunities … for managing natural resources and a better life for all’, is not just a theme but a call to action. Tropentag 2024 will focus on current topics relating to rural development, sustainable resource management and global poverty reduction. These include the transformation in agriculture and food systems, food sovereignty, climate change adaptation, environmental protection, social and technological innovations, especially for the implementation of the SDGs, and gender-based structural inequalities in natural resource management.
Tropentag is the largest interdisciplinary conference in Europe focusing on development- oriented research in the fields of tropical and subtropical agriculture, food security, natural resource management and rural development. It is clear that a just and sustainable transformation of our food systems is urgently needed: climate change, conflicts, rising food and fuel prices, and growing social and income inequalities are exacerbating the vulnerabilities of our food systems. The theme invites diverse contributions that explore different pathways for transforming food systems and the trade-offs and synergies involved, ranging from more technical solutions, such as climate-smart agriculture and biofortified crops, to more systematic solutions for changing the underlying relationships of our food systems, such as agroecology and alternative food networks.
