Some of ESMABAMA's current major concerns in the areas of agriculture and livestock involve practicing sustainable, environmentally friendly, efficient and resilient agriculture to meet the challenges of the effects of climate change in Mozambique, while ensuring that resources are regenerated and not depleted. An example of this is the RECOMOSA project, implemented in partnership with Caritas Austria and Jugend Eine Welt, and financed by the Austrian Development Agency. In this project, the associations “Sonho de Deus” (Dream of God) and Kwaedja have improved their technical skills in agriculture and completely organic production techniques in harmony with the environment. Rationalizing the space to produce more in a smaller space, the intercropping of crops, 100% organic fertilization and pesticides, the use of local seeds more resilient to drought, the processing of food for sale in order to prevent it from spoiling have been some of the acquired knowledge.

He produces cereals and vegetables all year round, despite the difficulties caused by the effects of climate change in Mozambique, he produces in a resilient way with improved farming success. Manuel studied at one of the schools of agriculture managed by ESMABAMA, in Machanga, where he acquired the basis of his knowledge. He continues to improve his knowledge with research and experiments in his production fields, knowledge that he shares with producers and associations in Machanga. This exchange of experiences between schools of agriculture, former students, farmers’ association and families allows for more efficient and higher quality production.
