Protests are currently underway in Gauteng and the Western Cape.
Farming communities are calling for action.
They say not enough is being done to protect the lives of those who are at the forefront of food security in this country.
In Cape Town, a convoy of tractors and bakkies has made its way to Greenpoint in Cape Town.
