In this episode of Pardon My Planet, we explore how climate services, genetic research, and collaboration with local farmers are helping communities in Mozambique adapt to climate change.
Part of the EU-funded Focus Africa project, the Mozambique case study highlights sustainable solutions being implemented across southern Africa, including innovative tools and climate-ready crops to support resilience and increase food security.
Our guests, Valentina D’Amico, a socio-economic researcher, and Marta Da Graca Eugenio Solemanegy, a Mozambican PhD student specialising in agronomy and genetics, share their on-the-ground experiences. They discuss the challenges faced by farmers, from limited access to climate information to the need for better crop varieties, and explain how tailored climate services are shaping a more resilient future. They discuss the challenges farmers face, the tools being developed, and how co-creation ensures these solutions are practical and impactful.
