Resumen
Descripción
This study examined the food security strategies adopted by rural households in both
years of good harvest and years of bad harvest. Marketing year 2001/2002 (a poor harvest) and year
2000/2001 (a better harvest year) were used to exemplify the alternative strategies adopted by
households in different years. The study focused on the case of northern Mozambique because of
the importance of food crop production in the zone and the active food grain markets for
domestic and foreign trade particularly in times of low domestic and regional production.
