Mozambique and other African nations are facing escalating food insecurity due to converging climate, environmental, and economic crises. The warning came from Mozambique’s Secretary of State for Higher Education, Edson Macuácua, at the opening of the XI International Agroecology Congress in Gaza province. Macuácua emphasized that millions lack access to nutritious food, a situation worsened by climate change and vulnerable agricultural systems. He argued against accepting hunger as inevitable, attributing it to profit-driven, industrial food systems. Macuácua championed agroecology as a sustainable solution, promoting environmental protection, healthy food production, and stronger rural communities. The congress, the first held in Africa, brings together over 200 participants from ten countries to address these challenges and explore alternative approaches.
