    • Establishing an international digital council for agriculture and food can be an extremely important tool for sharing information, networking, researching markets, pricing and sharing projects of successes, lessons and challenges.

      I fully agree with this FAO mechanism to lead this process, as digitization will drive and revolutionize increased production and productivity to ensure food security.

      I would like to call on FAO to create ways that in developing countries this concept will be broader even in rural areas and for Mozambique, where about 80% of the population depends on agriculture could create a new approach and stimulus.

    • Dear

      First, thank you for the topic and the debate.

      On the subject, I think it is necessary to create a legal framework that can safeguard the investor, family producers, entrepreneur. In the case of Mozambique, there is a law called Law and Use of Land Use, which unfortunately has fragility in the defense of rights mainly to family farmers, peasants. So with Legal Guide os Agricultural Land Investiment Contracts I believe it will safeguard the use and safety for investors primarily.

    • In Mozambique, in recent years, there has been interest in young people in the agricultural value chain. Although young people view agriculture as suffering, a nightmare, which has no immediate results, many young people when they finish agricultural training do not follow up with their specialization, preferring more accessible jobs or jobs, such as commerce and finance.

      My organization, the Agency for Development and Entrepreneurship, has led to acb in the last 4 years, a work of awareness and promotion and involvement of youth in the agricultural value chain. instill in young people that agriculture is also a source of employment, employability and self-employment when it is done with proper science and research.

      One of the major problems and limitations, there has to be access to financing, since commercial banks require high interest rates. But we are doing policy advocacy work to influence the executive, private sector, to create accessible financial instruments or mechanisms, example Start-up.

      There are some initiatives that we are carrying out, such as the implantation of Agro Incubator, rural development and gymnasium and creation of greenhouses.
