Resumo: | The article aims to present the role and challenges of family farming in Mozambique. The study used articles, downloaded from Google Scholar published between 2000 - 2020, books, reports and dissertations addressing topics on agriculture, rural development and food security. The analyses suggest that family farming is practiced by the majority of the Mozambican rural population and is mainly for subsistence, characterized by strong dependence on nature and poor use of technologies. In general Mozambique faces many challenges for rural development, as many families are still experiencing hardship. Inequalities in access to infrastructure between the southern, central and northern regions and between the urban centers and the rural regions are quite pronounced. The literature review further point out that Mozambique agriculture policies are inconsistent, leaving most farmers without access to basic services and infrastructure that could have an impact on improving their livelihoods. The study suggests that the Mozambican government should create more robust and feasible policies capable of contributing to the promotion of rural development, reducing regional asymmetries and improving the quality of life of rural household. |

El estudio se realizó a través de la revisión de literatura científica; artículos publicados entre los años 2000 y 2020, encontrados a través del buscador Google Scholar, dissertación, así como libros y reportes de investigación sobre agricultura, desarrollo rural y seguridad alimentaria. Los análisis realizados sugieren que la agricultura familiar es practicada por la mayoría de la población rural de Mozambique y está dirigida al autoconsumo, caracterizado por una fuerte dependencia de la naturaleza y escaso uso de tecnologías. El país todavía enfrenta grandes desafíos para el desarrollo rural, que se reflejan en la gran cantidad de familias que viven con numerosas privaciones. Las desigualdades en el acceso a infraestructuras entre las regiones sur, centro y norte, como entre los centros urbanos y el medio rural, son muy acentuadas. Con los resultados de este artículo es posible apuntar que las políticas agrarias de Mozambique son inconsistentes, de tal manera que dejan a la mayor parte de los agricultores sin acceso a servicios e infraestructura básica que podrían significar una mejoría en sus medios de vida. El estudio sugiere que desde el gobierno se requiere la creación de políticas más robustas y accesibles, capaces de contribuir a la promoción del desarrollo rural, a la reducción de las asimetrías regionales y a la mejora de la calidad de vida de las familias rurales.O artigo tem por objetivo apresentar o papel e os desafios da agricultura familiar em Moçambique. O estudo recorreu a revisão de literatura, para isso, foram usados artigos científicos, disponíveis no Google Scholar, publicados no período de 2000 a 2020, livros, relatórios técnicos e dissertações abordando matérias sobre agricultura, desenvolvimento rural e segurança alimentar. As análises feitas sugerem que a agricultura familiar é praticada pela maioria da população rural moçambicana e está voltada para o autoconsumo, caracterizado pela forte dependência da natureza e fraco uso de tecnologias. O país ainda enfrenta muitos desafios para o desenvolvimento rural, tanto que, ainda há muitas famílias passando por privações. As desigualdades no acesso às infraestruturas entre as regiões sul, centro e norte e entre os centros urbanos e o meio rural são bastante acentuadas. Com os resultados é possível apontar que as políticas agrárias moçambicanas se mostram inconsistentes deixando maior parte dos agricultores sem acesso a serviços e infraestruturas básicas que poderiam impactar na melhoria dos seus meios de vida. O estudo sugere que o governo moçambicano crie políticas mais robustas e exequíveis capazes de contribuir para a promoção do desenvolvimento rural, redução das assimetrias regionais e melhoria da qualidade de vida das famílias rurais.Research, Society and Development2021-05-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1568210.33448/rsd-v10i6.15682Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 6; e22110615682Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 6; e22110615682Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 6; e221106156822525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/15682/14039Copyright (c) 2021 Mateus João Marassiro; Marcelo Leles Romarco de Oliveira; Geusa da Purificação Pereirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarassiro, Mateus João Oliveira, Marcelo Leles Romarco de Pereira, Geusa da Purificação 2021-06-10T22:51:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15682Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:36:26.925249Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
