Policy briefPolicy briefPolicymaking for agrifood systems transformation in Mozambique 2025
Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletCorporate general interestMapping land cover in the Maputo and Gaza provinces in Mozambique
In the context of the Soil Land and Water Digital Information System initiative
2024Also available in:
No results found.This report presents a comprehensive land cover map of Maputo and Gaza provinces within Mozambique in 2022, highlighting cultivated land, banana, meadow and orchards. The land cover map was derived using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, digital terrain model, a 2016 Mozambique land cover map and photo interpreted reference points. The area of each land cover class was generated to provide accurate information on land cover classes distribution to develop insights into natural resource management and agricultural practices. It supports assessing the status of natural resources and supports sustainable and resilient agricultural management with crop production. Land cover mapping within the SolaWISe initiative facilitates access to essential information on soil, land water and crop management, thus informing decision-making processes for enhancing agricultural productivity.
