Irrigation is often perceived as a mechanism for improving the livelihoods of the rural farmers and helps meet the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in sub-Saharan Africa of which Zimbabwe is part of.

    Mozambique

    Foreign agricultural investors are clashing with local peasants in Mozambique, in a  confrontation over agricultural and development models. Foreign investors looking a apparently vacant land promise high (often inflated) profits to investors and local partners. Some hope to capitalise on carbon credits or produce biofuels, and claim to be green investments. All promise jobs, schools, and local development. Local backers support the outside investors and their plantations with terms like "progress" and "modernisation".
