Mozambican Saline Agriculture Research and Practice

The Mozambican Saline Agriculture Research and Practice (MoSARP) project aims at addressing the salinity challenges in an integrated manner, bundling the expertise of Mozambican and international experts in the fields of salinity and agroforestry to jointly devise a roadmap for Saline Agriculture development at field and institutional level, adapted to the Mozambican context.

MoSARP’s approach focuses on fostering new collaborations and leveraging local and international knowledge to address above-outlined salinity management challenges prevalent in Mozambique. The project follows a phased strategy, combining various virtual and in-person interactions, along with field pilot establishment, and documentation/dissemination of results. The project consortium includes key Saline Agriculture actors from Mozambique (IIAM, ABIODES, UEM), which provide local expertise and priorly established research infrastructures, most importantly the field research locations which facilitate MoSARP’s practical components.

The MoSARP project successfully fostered collaboration between Mozambican and international experts to address soil salinity challenges through innovative Saline Agriculture and Agroforestry practices. Key achievements include knowledge exchange via webinars and workshops, the establishment of field pilots to test adaptive techniques, and the development of an integrated training module to embed Saline Agriculture into educational curricula.
