Urban Farm DB summary
This study examined the challenges and opportunities in formulating and implementing urban food policies in Mozambique, focusing on the city of Quelimane, drawing on literature review, official document analysis, and observations from multisectoral training that involved the municipality's departments, nutritionists from the health and agriculture ministries, industry and commerce representatives, district services from Quelimane, Maganja da Costa, Mocuba, and Nampula, an Agrofood-link Mozambique representative, urban planning and infrastructure staff, and a Shoprite supermarket. It identified institutional fragmentation, precarious infrastructure, and climate change impacts as factors compromising urban food security, alongside opportunities linked to urban agriculture, participatory governance, and international cooperation.
