Description/Abstract

Micronutrient deficiencies often occur as part of a cycle of malnutrition and may be coupled with protein energy malnutrition. One of the measure to fight malnutrition is through participatory dietary modification was used. Five recipes of banana-based porridges from two EAHB ‘nshakala’ and AAB ‘bira’ banana varieties and three maize-based porridges were formulated in combination with other ingredients. The contents of Iron and protein in separate ingredients and in modified recipes were analysed using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry and Kjeldahl´s method, respectively, and bio-accessibility of iron was estimated using invitro simulating gastrointestinal digestion method. Beans were a good source of both iron and protein while groundnuts flour was a good source of protein. Contribution of iron and protein in recommended daily allowance (RDA) ranged from 75.3 to 458% and 106 to 146% in a portion of 500g respectively. Iron bioaccessibility in all recipes ranged from 7.4% to 31.1%. Iron in porridge recipes (6OFSP, 7B) was more bio-accessible. The developed and improved recipes showed great potential of contributing substantially to iron and protein needs of children 6-23 months. The importance of food diversification for intake of iron and protein is discussed.

Description/Abstract

Devido a necessidade de incrementar a produção e a produtividade agrária, principalmente nos países em desenvolvimento, há uma constante busca e introdução de novas abordagens de extensão agrária que se mostram cada vez mais eficientes na massificação do uso das práticas melhoradas de produção. A metodologia de Escola na Machamba de Camponês (EMC) é uma das mais recentes práticas de extensão introduzida nos países em desenvolvimento. Em Moçambique, esta metodologia foi introduzida a dez anos e está a cerca de oito anos a ser massificada pelo Programa Nacional de Segurança Alimentar – PANII. Passados dez anos da sua introdução em Moçambique, não existe informação estruturada que mostra se os produtores já treinados nas EMCs estão a partilhar com os não treinados, os conhecimentos e experiências adquiridas nos treinamentos, uma vez que a eficiência deste método se baseia na partilha de informação entre estes dois grupos. Para colmatar esta lacuna de informação foi conduzida a presente pesquisa com objectivo de saber se existe uma difusão dos conhecimentos introduzidos nas EMCs, dos produtores treinados para os não treinados e identificar os aspectos chaves que deverão ser considerados no processo de organização e condução das EMCs. A presente pesquisa piloto foi conduzida na província de Maputo, distrito de Matutuine. Este distrito, faz parte dos 12 distritos que estão a implementar as EMCs no âmbito do PAN II. Os dados da pesquisa foram colectados por meio de um questionário dirigido aos produtores treinados de quatro EMCs graduadas e aos produtores não treinados residentes nos quatro povoados onde foram implementadas as escolas e em quatro povoados vizinhos, não beneficiários de projecto de EMCs. No total foram inquiridos 244 produtores, dos quais 92 treinados e 152 não treinados. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que apesar de uma grande assimilação dos conhecimentos disseminadas nas EMCs pelos treinados, há uma fraca difusão dos mesmos conhecimentos (dos agricultores treinados para os não treinados) para além de uma difusão selectiva dos conteúdos introduzidos. A fraca difusão poderá ter sido registada pelo facto de os grupos sociais que compõem a maioria da população do distrito nomeadamente as mulheres, os analfabetos e os pequenos agricultores, mostrarem-se ter menos probabilidade de receber as informações das escolas através dos treinados. Mas também, a fraca aplicação dos conhecimentos da EMC, pelos produtores treinados, terá contribuído para a sua fraca difusão, uma vez que há uma associação entre aplicação e difusão dos conhecimentos da EMC. Por outro lado, os resultados mostram que certos grupos sociais dos agricultores treinados nomeadamente: os que são membros das associações, os que frequentaram a escola, e os que têm acesso a uma fonte alternativa de rendimento mostraram-se ser mais activos no processo de difusão e recepção de informações das escolas. Em relação às redes sociais interpessoais mais usadas na difusão de informações da EMC chegou-se a conclusão de que são as constituídas por aproximação social e geográfica.

Description/Abstract

Rainfall defines livelihood patterns among agrarian communities of the climate-change vulnerable semi-arid SubSaharan Africa. However, it remains inadequately studied, resulting in ineffective water management policies and weak agricultural growth in the region. Monthly rainfall data collected between 1987 and 2018 at four stations along a 1200 km climatic gradient in northern Namibia were analyzed for annual, seasonal, and monthly trends and variability. Descriptive measures and the Mann-Kendall test were used for rainfall characterization and trend detection, respectively. Results showed an annually increasing rainfall trend, but with a downward trend in the dry season decreasing by -0.14 mm year–1 and an upward trend in the rainy season increasing by 7.74 mm year–1 across the study area. The rainy-season mean monthly rainfall showed predominantly increasing trends, while the dry-season ones exhibited insignificant decreasing trends. The study detected a decreasing rainfall gradient from the northeast towards the northwest with a range of 156.8 mm and concomitant increasing spatial-temporal variability. The upward rainfall trend has implications for rainy season floods, whereas the downward trend suggests dry season drought intensification in the area. These results could be useful for rainwater management planning in the study area and other dryland regions.

Description/Abstract

This a short article on the mini exhibition that farmers under the Tale Agricultural Resource Centre did. The purpose was to show to other farmers the maize and bean varieties that were planted under the APPSA funded sub project, so that they can learn how they perform, where to get the seed and try them in this up coming summer cropping season. This is important because these varieties have been proven to withstand calamities of climate change.
