Sustainable Agriculture Practices and Soil Health Improvement in Mozambique: A Qualitative Assessment

Mozambique faces significant challenges in sustainable agriculture practices due to soil degradation and low productivity. A qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with farmers, extension workers, and agricultural researchers to understand current practices and their impacts on soil quality. Farmers reported significant improvements in soil structure and organic matter content after adopting recommended sustainable farming techniques, particularly in the central highlands region where 70% of respondents noted tangible benefits over two years. The study highlights the importance of tailored extension services and farmer training for effective implementation of sustainable agriculture practices to enhance soil health in Mozambique. Implement a comprehensive extension programme that integrates traditional farming knowledge with modern sustainable practices, focusing on regions with less resilient soils.
