The Southern African Agri Initiative (Saai) is an agricultural interest network for farmers by farmers, which is committed to protecting and promoting the rights, values, ideals and needs of family farmers in the primary produce sector.
Family farmers are an essential part of rural communities, providing food and stability. However, they face new challenges, including climate change, corporate takeovers, and government interference. The Southern African Agri Initiative (Saai) was created to protect and promote the rights of family farmers. Saai focuses on policy influence, strategic solutions, and partnerships to address issues like poverty, hunger, gender equality, responsible production, and climate action.

Saai strives to preserve rural communities, combat urbanisation, and create sustainable agricultural practices.
