SASSCAL participated at the popular Windhoek Livestock and Agriculture Show better known as the Windhoek Show from 28 September to 1 October 2022 in Windhoek, Namibia. The Show provided SASSCAL with a good platform to promote its brand and showcase all its products and services including research, capacity development programmes, Green hydrogen Project and WeMast Project. The staff manning the SASSCAL booth gave general information about the organisation as well as responded to any other requests for information from the public. The platform was also used for interaction with high-level authorities, research institutions, students, farmers, academia and general interest groups.
