Abstract

This report presents results from a detailed exploration of household food consumption behavior in a rural area of northern Mozambique. Smallholder households were studied in Montepuez District in Cabo Delgado and in Monapo and Meconta Districts of Nampula. These areas are typical of the interior of northern Mozambique, where maize- and manioc-based cropping systems predominate and where cotton and cashew are often grown.
