Producing climate smart cassava in Mozambique
As climate change continues to devastate rural farming, one IFAD project is using stem plantation to help farmers adapt.
João Marcus Costa is a cassava farmer from Manjacaze, Mozambique. Like many Mozambican farmers, João's small cassava field used to face constant threats from drought, disease and pests. Even when he did manage to successfully harvest his cassava, he then faced additional challenges trying to get his cassava to market due to poor transportation. Fortunately now, however, the situation is beginning to change for João.
