This review discusses how improving agriculture in Mozambique can help reduce poverty and enhance access to nutritious food. The authors highlight the lack of accurate data on food production and consumption trends in the country. They emphasize the importance of considering various factors for food security and suggest that simply increasing agricultural productivity may not be enough to ensure long-term food security in Mozambique or Sub-Saharan Africa. Different opinions on the role of agriculture in development lead to varying policy priorities in Africa.
