Abstract

The study examines the adoption of sustainable agriculture techniques among maize farmers in Mozambique. An ethnographic approach was employed to conduct interviews and focus group discussions with farmers over three years. A significant proportion (60%) of maize farmers reported improved soil health after implementing conservation tillage practices. Sustainable agriculture techniques have shown promise in enhancing yields and improving environmental conditions among Mozambican farmers. Further research should be conducted to evaluate the long-term sustainability of these methods and their scalability across different regions.
