Abstract
Climate change, food and nutritional
insecurity are combined with the poverty of several populations worldwide. In
Mozambique, ensuring full-time availability and access to food has been a huge
challenge, especially when combined with the effects of climate change. To
highlight the effects of climate change on agricultural practices, production
models and food availability in the Chókwè district, a review was developed
covering the various determinants of this topic. The effects range from the
worsening of hunger, low agricultural production and income, low nutritional
quality, changes in production models, but also encompass a new paradigm of
changing the rainy season. Even though it was exhaustive, there are aspects to
be considered, such as the case of strategies adapted to mitigate these
effects, community resilience, results of the adoption and adaptation to new
production models, demographic growth aimed at mitigating the effects of
climate change on the food security. Other very important aspects to be
addressed are the rainy season and increased temperature, which create uncertainty,
aggravating the vulnerability and migration of populations in search of better
living conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to consider more studies on new
approaches or forms of action in the context of climate change in production
processes, in the context of Mozambique. In summary, there must be greater
integrated cooperation between the various stakeholders seeking better resource
management strategies and ensuring sufficient and sustainable production, in
favour of food availability and access in the Chókwè district.
