This guide, published by WWF South Africa in 2020, introduces the 'One Food' approach to sustainable agriculture. It promotes agroecology and rangeland management to create a resilient food system that integrates human, animal, and environmental health, specifically focusing on biodiversity and climate adaptation for farmers.

• The 'One Food' concept advocates for a holistic view of the food chain that includes humans, animals, and the environment to identify risks and encourage sustainable food production while maintaining the relationship between plants and animals.
• Unmanaged food systems and livestock practices can lead to significant environmental and health risks, including pollution from animal medicines, crop pests, invasive species, and soil degradation caused by uncontrolled fires and overgrazing.
• Agroecology is presented as a method to protect biodiversity and ensure food security. Recommended practices for farmers include crop rotation, intercropping (planting two or more crops together), using organic mulch to retain moisture, and employing natural pest control methods like using marigolds, blackjack, or neem (molora) instead of expensive chemicals.
• Climate change presents severe challenges to farming, including increased heat, droughts, floods, and fires. The document suggests adaptation strategies such as planting trees and shrubs to reduce wind damage, using trenches on high ground to manage floodwaters, and studying weather patterns to improve planting schedules.
• Certain crops are identified as more resilient to drought, including carrots, sweet potatoes, beans, pumpkins, a specific type of cabbage with pressed leaves, swiss chard, and amaranth (imbuya).
