"Sustainable intensification of smallholder farming in central Mozambique: Benefits from better integration of crops and livestock"^^ . "The Government of Mozambique gives particular importance to strategies for sustainable\r\nintensification of agriculture in the smallholder-farming sector, accounting for more than\r\n95% of the total agricultural land. Better integration of crops and livestock is key to sustaining\r\nvital smallholder farming, rewarding higher agricultural production and improving the overall\r\nwellbeing of smallholder farms, especially in provinces like Tete and Manica, with high potential\r\nfor crops and livestock.\r\n\r\nFarmers with animal draft power can cultivate larger parts of their land in time and are thereby\r\nable to also produce more feed, critical for improving animal performance. Better-managed\r\nand fed animals reproduce more, provide better draft services and avail manure as important\r\nsource of locally available organic fertilizer. Farmers thereby increase production at reduced\r\ncosts and risk, overall farm net returns increase more than through single technologies.\r\n\r\nThese benefits can be harvested over large areas, and with different agro-ecological potential.\r\nFarmers with cattle cultivated more land than those without cattle: in Dororo, Manica province,\r\nwith high agro-ecological potential, 4.4 ha as compared to 2.9 ha cropland; in drought prone\r\nMarara, Tete province, 3.1 ha of as compared to 2.1 ha. On average farmers with cattle made\r\n20% higher cereal yields in Dororo, and 30% higher cereal yields in Marara. Yet 52% and 45 % of\r\nthe households don’t have cattle in Dororo and Marara respectively.\r\n\r\nThis leaflet illustrates the benefits from better integration of crops and livestock. We describe\r\nforage production and draft power animal management as two complementary technologies\r\ncritical for sustainable intensification of smallholder farms, demonstrated in the MOREP\r\nproject. These technologies are useful for farmers in similar environments like in Tete and\r\nManica provinces."^^ . "2015" . . . . "ICRISAT"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
