Gaza educational farm (Mozambique)

Weather…

The Gaza Educational Farm in the Limpopo Basin is a prime example of modern agriculture in Mozambique. Gaza Province is known for its extensive irrigation systems, particularly the Chókwè scheme, considered the largest in the country. At the farm, children learn about the food production cycle, from sowing to the harvest of rice, maize, and vegetables. Special emphasis is placed on water management through the Massingir Dam, which is crucial for regulating the Limpopo River. Historically, the region is closely linked to the Shangaan people and played a significant role in the resistance against colonialism. The farm imparts knowledge on soil erosion, sustainable fertilizers, and the importance of livestock such as cattle and goats for the rural economy. The project aims to inspire young people toward agricultural careers and strengthen food security in the region. Visitors can also view traditional grain storage methods.
