    Changing agro-food systems: The impact of big agro-investors on food rights. Case studies in Mozambique and Zambia
    (Institute for Poverty Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), 2016) Joala, Refiloe; Zamchiya, Phillan; Ntauazi, Clemente; Musole, Patrick; Katebe, Ceasar
    This book presents case studies on changing agro-food systems in Southern Africa within the context of large-scale land-based and agri-business investments. By capturing the testimonies of local people in rural settings, with a particular focus on small-scale farmers, it aims to provide vivid accounts of the micro-level changes underway in agro-food systems in Southern Africa, and to reflect the experiences and perspectives of local people.

    Changing agro-food systems: The impact of big agro-investors on food rights: Case studies in Mozambique and Zambia
    (Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape, 2016) Joala, Refiloe; Zamchiya, Phillan; Ntauazi, Clemente; Musole, Patrick; Katebe, Ceasar
    This book presents case studies that offer some insights into the rapid process of change underway in African agro-food systems, and in Southern Africa in particular, within the context of land-based and agricultural investments. These testimonials were gathered as part of exploratory research aimed at investigating how increasing levels of investment are restructuring agro-food systems and the implications of these changes on how people produce and access food. Therefore, we do not claim to present conclusive evidence of the impact of agri-business on local agro-food systems in the region, but rather, we argue that increasing levels of land-based and agricultural investments in Mozambique and Zambia have led to the reconfiguring of the input supply framework, the reshaping of local farming systems and the restructuring of market infrastructure – what we characterise as agro-food systems. The increasing levels of investment are affecting different people in different ways. The case studies presented in this book show the wider impact of these investments on rural livelihoods, household food security and local food environments.

    Securing Land Tenure for Women Under Mozambique’s Land Administration Programme (Terra Segura)
    (Institute for Poverty Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), 2023-01) Musa, Chilombo; Zamchiya, Phillan; Ntauazi, Clemente; Noyes, Joana
    This policy brief reports findings from a study undertaken by researchers at the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) investigating the formalisation of customary land and its implications for women’s livelihoods and the security of their land tenure in Mozambique. The research was conducted in two villages in Nhamatanda District, Sofala Province between 2021 and 2022. A total of 63 women in Siluvo and Metuchira villages were reached through in-depth interviews; coordination to learn their life histories; and focus group discussions. In addition, a survey of 140 households across the two villages was conducted.

    Este livro apresenta estudos de caso sobre os sistemas agro-alimentares em mutação na África Austral, no contexto dos grandes investimentos em terra e dos grandes investimentos no campo dos agro-negócios. Ao registar os testemunhos das pessoas locais num contexto rural, com foco particular sobre os pequenos agricultores, esta obra visa proporcionar relatos vívidos das mudanças a nível micro em curso na África Austral no campo dos sistemas agro-alimentares, e reflectir as experiências e as perspectivas das pessoas locais.

    Sistemas agroalimentares em mutação O impacto dos grandes agroinvestidores sobre o direito à alimentação: Estudos de caso em Moçambique
    (Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape, 2016) Joala, Refiloe; Zamchiya, Phillan; Ntauazi, Clemente; Musole, Patrick; Katebe, Ceasar
    Este livro apresenta casos de estudo que oferecem algumas perspectivas do rápido processo de mudança em curso nos sistemas agro-alimentares africanos, e na África Austral em particular, no contexto dos investimentos em terra. Estes testemunhos foram recolhidos como parte de uma investigação exploratória para compreender como os níveis crescentes de investimento estão a reestruturar os sistemas agroalimentares e as implicações destas mudanças sobre o direito das pessoas à alimentação. Por conseguinte, não pretendemos apresentar provas concludentes sobre o impacto dos agro-negócios nos sistemas agro-alimentares na região, mas antes, defendemos que o nível crescente dos investimentos agrícolas e em terra, em Moçambique e na Zâmbia, levaram à reconfiguração do quadro da oferta de insumos agrícolas, à remodelação dos sistemas de agricultura local e à reestruturação das infra-estruturas de mercado – aquilo a que caracterizamos como sistemas agro-alimentares. Os níveis crescentes de investimento estão a afectar pessoas diferentes, de maneiras diferentes. Os estudos de caso apresentados neste livro mostram o impacto mais amplo destes investimentos sobre os meios de subsistência rural, a segurança alimentar das famílias e os ambientes alimentares locais.

    Smallholder views on Chinese agricultural investments in Mozambique and Tanzania in the context of VGGTS
    (MDPI, 2023) Pointer, Rebecca; Sulle, Emmanuel; Ntauazi, Clemente
    Based on a case study in each country, this study documents the views of Mozambican and Tanzanian smallholders regarding Chinese agricultural investments and the extent to which investors abide by their legitimate land tenure rights as defined by the Voluntary Guidelines for the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Forests and Fisheries in the Context of National Food Security (VGGTs). The VGGTs offer guidelines to government on how to protect the land tenure of rural communities when land is being acquired for large-scale land investments. The study also assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on smallholders. Due to COVID-19, instead of fieldwork, we conducted telephone interviews with 20 smallholders in Mozambique and 35 in Tanzania. The Mozambican case showed that even when land set aside for investors was not in dispute, smallholders still had unmet expectations, especially regarding investors’ corporate social responsibility activities. In the Tanzanian case, even though the land leased by the Chinese investor had been designated as general land, it had laid fallow for a long period, and smallholders had moved back onto the land, only to be displaced in 2017.
