    Mozambique is transforming its agrifood systems to enhance food security, climate resilience, and inclusive growth. Despite agriculture employing most of the population, productivity remains low. Guided by national strategies and momentum from the UN Food Systems Summit, the country is improving policy coherence, fostering multistakeholder collaboration, and increasing investment. Initiatives like PEDSA II, PNISA II, and the revitalized Agrarian Sector Coordination Committee aim to align efforts across sectors. Success hinges on sustained infrastructure development, private sector engagement, and inclusive governance to build a resilient, sustainable agrifood system.
