SerDev - Developing Africa’s Farmers Of Tomorrow, Today.

Financial & Business Management Training Application

Developing Africa’s farmers of tomorrow, today.

There are many things that inhibit a developing farmer’s ability to successfully provide food security for their family, their community, and for the entire continent. At SerDev, we strive to serve as a practical primer of agriculture, to empower farmers to adopt a holistic farming and be more productive and profitable in the farming industry. We do this because we view learnership programmes for farmers as an essential ingredient to ensuring food security in South Africa.

Our Story

It started with a dream...

When Nick Serfontein was young, he knew for certain what he wanted to do with his life: become a farmer. His parents, however, had other plans for him — they said that the agricultural industry wasn’t stable or reliable, that he would waste his potential, and that he should go to school and find a more suitable career instead. In order to respect their wishes, Nick dutifully took up his studies and pursued other careers where he could earn a respectable living and make his parents proud. Despite his success, his dream of profitable farming never truly left him.
