DIFUSÕES DE VEGETAIS EM MOÇAMBIQUE: DINÂMICAS LOCAIS, REGIONAIS E TRANSCONTINENTAIS, COM ÊNFASE EM PLANTAS AMAZÔNICAS, NO CONTEXTO DO BRASIL COLÔNIA

Abstract

The lack of written sources on plant domestication makes it difficult to distinguish between natives and exotics in Mozambique. This problem includes the scarcity of information about the similarities and differences of the cultivation and processing systems, referring to the place of diffusion and dispersion. To alleviate this deficit, this study was carried out with the objective of knowing the vegetables that arrived in Mozambique through the port of Inhambane, coming from colonial Brazil. The methodology adopted was based on bibliographic consultation and interviews with family farmers in the districts of Inhambane.
