Abstract

Southern Mozambique faces significant climate variability that affects agricultural productivity. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices are being promoted to enhance resilience and sustainability in this region. The study employed a mixed-methods approach combining household surveys and satellite data analysis. Survey responses from 100 randomly selected farmers were used to assess yield changes post-implementation of CSA interventions. Findings indicate an average increase in maize yields by 25% following the adoption of CSA practices, with cassava yields showing a consistent 10% improvement. The implementation of CSA has demonstrated promising effects on crop yields in Southern Mozambique, particularly for maize and cassava crops. These results underscore the potential of CSA as an effective strategy to improve agricultural resilience in similar climatically vulnerable regions. Government agencies should prioritise funding for CSA programmes and provide technical support to farmers adopting these practices. Additionally, there is a need for continued research on long-term sustainability impacts and best practices.
