Abstract: Mozambique stands at the crossroads of technological transformation in agriculture. This study explores how AI and emerging technologies can address systemic challenges such as food insecurity, limited access to resources, and environmental stresses. By integrating insights from AQI’s commercial director, Eveline Teresa, interviews with local farmers like Emilia Bonzo and João Matola, and international comparisons, we propose frameworks to adapt AI tools to Mozambique’s agricultural landscape. By examining AQI’s initiatives in climate adaptation, market access, and product innovation, this paper outlines a bold vision for sustainable, tech-driven farming. We argue that Mozambique, by combining global models with local needs, could emerge as a leader in pioneering agricultural advancements, positioning itself as a role model for other developing nations.
