🌱 Today we celebrate World Food Day.

When we talk about agriculture, we’re talking about more than just producing higher yields.

For the farming associations we work with in Mozambique, diversifying crops can mean a more varied diet, less dependence on a single harvest, and income from selling surplus produce.

Tomatoes, onions, leafy greens, cabbages… Each new crop can open up new possibilities for farming families.

That’s why our work combines agricultural training, soil restoration, access to water, irrigation systems and crop diversification.

Because improving agriculture also means strengthening food security, independence and opportunities for rural communities💚

🌍 This World Food Day, we keep growing a future.

Today we’d like to thank Bruce and Joan, two UPC students, who have spent the past two months in Mozambique working with Azada Verde on a pilot drip irrigation project with the Massane association.

The initiative is part of an agreement with UPC and aims to improve the efficiency of water use and distribution across the different plots, after we had identified ongoing challenges with the association’s irrigation system.

This pilot could be an important step towards making better use of available water, improving land productivity and, ultimately, increasing harvests for farming families.

A heartfelt thank you, Bruce and Joan, for your hard work, commitment and dedication throughout these months💚🌱

🌱 Community participation is key to mangrove conservation in Mozambique.

In Inhambane Bay, we have begun community consultation meetings as part of the process to obtain the Maritime Space Private Use Title (TUPEM).

The process has brought together the Community Fisheries Councils of Salela, Machavenga, and Josina Machel, along with representatives from INAMAR, INOM, and provincial and district authorities.

During the day, in addition to the consultation meetings, participants visited the community mangrove nursery, where seedlings are grown to support coastal ecosystem restoration activities.

At Azada Verde, we believe that ecological restoration must go hand in hand with community participation, institutional collaboration, and the strengthening of local capacities.

Protecting mangroves also means creating the conditions for communities to continue safeguarding them for generations to come💚

Some children are born with many paths already open to them, while others, from a very young age, have to fight simply to build one.

In Mozambique, more than half of the children living in rural areas experience multidimensional poverty. This means growing up with deprivations that can affect essential aspects of life such as education, health, nutrition, emotional well-being or housing.

The difference between them often lies in the opportunities they have. Not in their talent. Not in their effort. Not in their ability to dream.

That is why, at Azada Verde, we try to be there, in that fragile space between what a child dreams of and what they may actually have the chance to achieve.

We cannot decide what their future will be. But we can help make sure they have the possibility to choose it.

That is why today we are asking you to become a member of Azada Verde, with the amount and frequency that you choose.

Every contribution is essential in helping us continue supporting futures that are still waiting to be written💚

🌿 We continue restoring Inhambane’s mangroves together with local communities.

Between 21 and 24 September, in the community of Salela, we carried out a new mangrove restoration activity, planting 1,200 Rhizophora mucronata seedlings.
The activity involved 60 people directly, including members of the local community and representatives of the Salela Community Fisheries Council (CCP).

Over four days, participants worked on digging planting holes, loading, unloading and planting the seedlings, helping to restore coastal forest cover while strengthening the community’s role in the sustainable management of these ecosystems🌱

Because restoring mangroves is not only about planting trees: it is also about involving the people who live alongside them and strengthening their role in protecting the territory.

Caring for forests also means creating opportunities for communities. 🌿
Over the past few days, we have continued making progress with mulching activities in the communities where we are implementing our forest conservation and restoration project.

In Nhaumue, 126 community members took part in one of the working days. The activities have also already been completed in Djambe and Dongonda, while Mangunde is about to finish this phase.

For us, forest conservation cannot be separated from the people who live alongside these ecosystems. That is why, whenever we carry out forest maintenance, wildfire prevention or reforestation activities, we pay the community members who take part in the work.

In this way, ecosystem restoration also generates local income and recognises the time, effort and knowledge of the people who care for these landscapes every day.
Protecting forests and supporting communities must go hand in hand💚

💚 Today we say goodbye to André João Huo, someone who was deeply loved and who was part of the Azada Verde family for many years.

André came into our lives as a child. Over the years, we watched him grow, study, overcome countless difficulties and take important steps towards building his future. He became one of the recipients of the Guillem Sardá Palomera Scholarship, continued his studies at university and later joined the Azada Verde team, becoming the youngest member of our staff.

But André was much more than a scholarship student or a colleague. He was a son, a younger brother, a friend and a deeply loved member of our family.

His passing, far too soon, leaves an enormous emptiness in all of us who had the privilege of knowing and accompanying him.

Until we meet again, André. You will always be part of our family and remain in our hearts. 💚

🌍💚 Joining forces for a cleaner environment

On International Cleanup Day, the Green Pedal team took part in an activity organized by Megafauna Marinha Association, together with different institutions and organizations committed to protecting the environment.

The initiative brought together ALMA, Ocean Revolution, ODEC, SOS Children, INAMAR and other partners in a joint effort to help keep beaches and natural spaces cleaner and healthier.

Beyond the cleanup itself, activities like this also help strengthen collaboration between organizations and remind us that protecting our environment is a shared responsibility. 🌱

Thank you to everyone and every organization that took part in this initiative. 💚

💧🌱 We have some great news from Massane today!

We’re very happy because around three weeks ago we installed a drip irrigation system at the Massane Association, and the crops are already showing very promising growth.

It may seem like something simple, but for us it represents a major step forward.

Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the roots of the plants, making much better use of every litre and reducing water loss. And that’s not all: it also means farmers no longer have to spend as much time and physical effort watering crops manually.

This will allow them to work more efficiently, reduce their daily workload, and dedicate more time to other farming tasks, caring for their families, or improving production.

In an area where access to water has such a strong impact on agriculture, solutions like this can make a huge difference. 💚

The photos we’re sharing show how the crops are developing just a few weeks after the installation, and we’re really excited to see these first results.

We keep moving forward, learning, and looking for simple solutions that can create major changes in the lives of farming families.

🍅🌱 From Mangunde to the Muxúnguè market

The Mangunde Association continues to see the results of its work. This time, the harvest includes tomatoes, cabbage, onions and leafy greens, all being prepared and transported for sale at the Muxúnguè market.

Seeing these harvests leave the fields and reach the market is great news: it means more production, a greater variety of food and new income opportunities for farming families. 💚

We continue working alongside local associations to strengthen more sustainable agriculture, improve production and facilitate access to local markets.
