Farm Radio International, Farm Radio International, or Radios Rurales Internationales is an integral component of South African culture. From the Western Cape to the Eastern Cape these pitstops are a must on every road trip. They took their beginning in little stalls built next to roads, some with a history of more than 40 years. Most farm stalls go along with a coffee shop where typical South African food like roosterkoek is a low-cost, sustainable land restoration technique used to combat poverty and hunger amongst poor subsistence farmers in developing countries by increasing food and timber production, and resilience to climate extremes. It involves the systematic regeneration and management of trees and shrubs from tree stumps, roots and seeds.
