In the past, many researchers and policymakers have

According to this view, rural households would

food and export crops. In more recent years, this
view has begun to change. Presently, the awareness

non-farm sector. In Mozambique, the role of the non-

to alleviate poverty. In this book, the author
discuss the role of rural non-farm sources
