The Promoting Regenerative Agriculture for Sustainable Livelihoods project was recently launched in Maputo by global non-governmental organisation Solidaridad, in partnership with the Heineken Africa Foundation and other local groups.

Francisco Nhahale, Solidaridad’s Country Manager, says the programme will directly support over 4 000 farmers, with a focus on women and youth, and reach as many as 20 000 community members indirectly.

“Climate change poses a serious risk to food security in Mozambique,” Nhahale said. “This project will promote regenerative agriculture by improving soil health and increasing crop yields.”

He says many farmers face challenges like poor access to training and markets, which the project also aims to address.
