Despite the persistence of poverty in Mozambique, significant investments have been made in rural areas in extractive industry or agribusiness, resulting in both the transformation of these areas, and a new set of tensions and conflicts related to land tenure and population resettlement. Meanwhile, the Mozambican rural landscape is one dominated by smallholders whose livelihoods depend on both farming and non-farming activities, and who are often extremely vulnerable to shocks and pressure over resources. The emergence of new civil society organizations has led to clashes with in the interests of local political, administrative and economic powers, creating fresh social conflicts.
Transformations of the Rural Spaces in Mozambique examines the process of transformation across a range of settings; from the impacts of large-scale industries and the transformation of agriculture, to relations between state and non-state actors and issues related to land.
Reviews / Votes
The main issue in today's Mozambique is not gas but land and family farming. This is one of the strengths of this book: it is not only about agriculture, but the multisectoral and multidisciplinary analysis it delivers revolves entirely around the agricultural issue and, from a social point of view, the peasant issue. The book has a rich mix of Mozambican and non-Mozambican authors, both academic and NGO experts; and really does produce knowledge and will be useful even to people who think they know Mozambique well. * Michel Cahen, Sciences Po Bordeaux, University of Bordeaux, France *More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
