  • Farmers’ information sharing for climate change adaptation in Mozambique

    Open AccessPedro Zorrilla‐Miras, Sá Nogueira Lisboa et al.ARTICLEInformation Development2026

    Small scale African farmers are facing increasing challenges due to climate change. One of the most important strategies identified in the literature to improve farmers’ resilience is the enhancement of information sharing between all the actors involved, as a key step of the capacity building process. To provide insights into this objective, we analyse Mozambique farmers’ perception of climate change, agricultural adaptation options, the informa…

  • National-scale field delineation in Mozambique refines our understanding of cropland distribution, field size, and deforestation actors

    Open AccessPhilippe Rufin, Pauline Lucie Hammer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2026

    The design of science-based policies to improve the sustainability of smallholder agriculture is challenged by a limited understanding of fundamental system properties, such as the spatial distribution of active cropland and field size. We integrate 1.5 m resolution satellite imagery, satellite embeddings, and deep learning to map individual fields in complex smallholder systems at policy-relevant scale. We identify 17 million fields across Mozam…

  • Quantifying the costs and benefits of forest conversion through slash-and-burn cultivation and conventional logging

    Open AccessOsório Eufrásio José Nhiuane, Sá Nogueira Lisboa et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2024

    Food insecurity, deforestation, and forest degradation are significant challenges to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in sub-Saharan Africa. Slash-and-burn cultivation and conventional logging (timber and charcoal production) are two interrelated activities that lead to forest loss and undermine food security. However, the environmental and economic incentives to clear or conserve the forest have yet to be discovered. To address this g…

  • Impacts of large-scale forestry investments on neighboring small-scale agriculture in northern Mozambique

    Open AccessCristina Chiarella, Philippe Rufin et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2024References: 41

    Forestry plantations can potentially foster rural development and mitigate environmental threats, but their impacts on neighboring peoples’ livelihood strategies are ambiguous. Forestry plantations are particularly important in Mozambique, where a national strategy aims to establish one million hectares of forests by 2030, focusing on Miombo ecoregions in the provinces of Niassa, Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Zambezia. This paper evaluates the causal…

  • The connection between forest degradation and urban energy demand in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessF Sedano, Sá Nogueira Lisboa et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Charcoal is a key energy source for urban households in sub-Saharan Africa and charcoal production is the main cause of forest degradation across the region. We used multitemporal high-resolution remote sensing optical imagery to quantify the extent and intensity of forest degradation associated with charcoal production and its impact on forest carbon stocks for the main supplying area of an African capital. This analysis documents the advance of…

  • Monitoring forest degradation from charcoal production with historical Landsat imagery. A case study in southern Mozambique

    Open AccessF Sedano, Sá Nogueira Lisboa et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    We used historical Landsat imagery to monitor forest degradation from charcoal production in the main supplying region of the Mozambican capital, Maputo, during a ten-year period (2008–2018). We applied a change detection method that exploits temporal NDVI dynamics associated with charcoal production. This forest degradation temporal sequence exposes the magnitude and the spatial and temporal dynamics of charcoal production, which is the main for…

  • Impacts of land use intensification on human wellbeing

  • Urban energy transitions and rural income generation

    Open AccessHarriet Elizabeth Smith, D H Jones et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2018Cited by: 7References: 6

    Sub-Saharan Africa’s charcoal sector is rarely considered a mechanism for rural development or poverty alleviation; instead, current regulations often marginalise rural producers. The development of a sustainable sector, that does not further marginalise rural populations, is restricted by limited understanding of these stakeholders. We assess the heterogeneity of rural producers supplying two differentially sized urban charcoal markets in Mozamb…
