Boosting agricultural productivity and climate resilience

Feed the Future Resilient Agricultural Market Activities - Beira Corridor

Feed the Future Resilient Agricultural Market Activities - Beira Corridor

The Feed the Future Resilient Agricultural Markets Activity in the Beira Corridor (RAMA-BC) project, implemented by Land O'Lakes Venture37, promoted the adoption of sustainable, accessible, and affordable agricultural technologies and practices that helps Mozambique adapt to climate shocks and stresses.  RAMA-BC supports a whole farm system; approach; that is, a thoughtful integration of the relationships between landscape, community, and family within a farm design and management plan. The project helps smallholder farmers boost climate resiliency, generate income, and increase on-farm diversification. Through four distinct components, RAMA-BC focused on equitably increasing agricultural productivity, profitability, and climate resilience by increasing adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies and practices.

THREE FOCUS AREA

Promoting Regenerative Agriculture:

Many Mozambican farmers lack availability and access to quality inputs and extension services. RAMA-BC helps farmers reduce their need for expensive chemical inputs and enhance soil fertility using regenerative agriculture methods. When farmers adopt these practices, they get better harvests, safeguard against drought, and store more carbon in the soil.

Ensuring Food Security & Nutrition:

Women are critical to the agriculture sector in Mozambique, making up 63% of unskilled labor. Due to culturally upheld gender roles, they are also typically responsible for childrearing and household management. By focusing on women-managed crops, savings groups, nutrition, and gender-based violence awareness, RAMA-BC recognizes the importance of women to building a food-secure future.
