Abstract

This study examines the adoption rates of climate resilient crops by rural women farmers in coastal regions of Mozambique. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to assess adoption rates and farmer perceptions. Rural women farmers showed a significant increase (35%) in the adoption of climate-resilient crops compared to baseline levels, indicating improved resilience against drought and floods. The intervention was effective in increasing the uptake of climate-resilient crop varieties by rural women farmers in coastal Mozambique. Policy recommendations include scaling up support for farmer education programmes focused on climate-smart agriculture and providing access to financial assistance for seed purchases.
