In southern Mozambique, farmers like Ananias and Samuel are battling a severe drought worsened by El Niño. Despite failed crops and water scarcity, they remain resilient, relying on limited resources to keep farming. FAO is supporting these communities with drought-tolerant seeds and water conservation efforts to safeguard livelihoods and prevent further suffering.

Moçambique enfrenta uma grave crise de seca, agravada pelo fenómeno El Niño, que afecta 1,8 milhões de pessoas. As culturas agrícolas fracassaram e as famílias, em particular as mulheres, procuram água.

A FAO está a fornecer sementes tolerantes à seca, a promover medidas de conservação de água e a prestar apoio ao gado das comunidades vulneráveis.

É fundamental uma acção imediata para salvaguardar vidas e meios de subsistência.
