Abstract
The green revolution program (GRP) in Mozambique has taken centre stage in academic circles, and
academics and researchers have tussled with various aspects of this subject. While the GRP is meant
to reduce the country’s food insecurity and was successfully implemented in some countries like India
(Arundhati, 2004), the results have been different in many African countries. In Mozambique, GRP has
dramatically impacted on the rights of non-human animals and the physical environment. Using
selected cases of environmental upsets and violation of animal rights drawn from Mozambique’s print
media and academic literature, the negative impact of fast track green revolution program in
Mozambique on the rights of non-human animals and the environment was examined. The article thus,
examines how the environment has been upset and non-human animal rights to life and unhindered
access to space of habitation have been violated in the name of GRP in Mozambique. Towards this end,
a framework is presented for studying environmental practices that impact on how knowledge, ideas
and values with respect to non-human animal rights should be transmitted and developed from one
generation to another for the good and posterity of the physical environment and non-human animals.
