A structured approach was followed to develop a systematic literature review (SLR) that can address this gap by examining how DSs and GAPs may be adapted for Angola\u2019s context to encourage sustainable agricultural development. Key steps included the selection and exclusion of literature from primary scientific databases based on specific screening indicators such as the publication date, language, relevance to DSs and GAPs, and geographic focus on developing or developed nations with comparable agricultural challenges. The initial search resulted in 11,392 articles, of which 4257 met the primary selection criteria. After further screening for relevance and availability, 98 articles were shortlisted, and 15 studies were ultimately included for in-depth analysis. This strict screening process ensured the inclusion of studies most applicable to Angola\u2019s agricultural context. The key research findings indicate that certain DSs and GAPs have high adaptability potential for Angola. The findings emphasise practices such as drip irrigation and inorganic fertilisation, which are widely implemented in both developed and developing countries due to their efficiency in resource-limited environments. Additional strategies, such as water management systems, organic composting, and agroforestry practices, demonstrate significant potential to enhance soil fertility, water efficiency, and crop resilience against climate variability. By identifying these practices and strategies, this study provides a basic framework for policymakers in Angola to develop targeted implementation guidelines, fostering sustainable agricultural growth and resilience in the face of climatic challenges. Thus, this review contributes to the scientific and practical understanding of sustainable agriculture in developing countries, offering critical insights that support Angola\u2019s efforts to achieve greater self-sufficiency and economic stability through sustainable agricultural practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su16229878","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]],"date-time":"2024-11-13T06:23:16Z","timestamp":1731478996000},"page":"9878","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Sustainable Development Strategies and Good Agricultural Practices for Enhancing Agricultural Productivity: Insights and Applicability in Developing Contexts\u2014The Case of Angola"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Eduardo E.","family":"Eliseu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth and Marine Sciences Department, University of Namibe, Farol de Noronha, Mo\u00e7\u00e2medes CP 274, Angola"},{"name":"Electromechanical Engineering Department, University of Beira Interior, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7540-3854","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T\u00e2nia M.","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electromechanical Engineering Department, University of Beira Interior, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"C-MAST\u2014Center for Mechanical and Aerospace Science and Technologies, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1691-1709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro D.","family":"Gaspar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electromechanical Engineering Department, University of Beira Interior, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"C-MAST\u2014Center for Mechanical and Aerospace Science and Technologies, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1016\/j.landusepol.2017.05.032","article-title":"Trajectories of large-scale land acquisition dynamics in Angola: Diversity, histories, and implications for the political economy of development in Africa","volume":"67","author":"Grassi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Land Use Policy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"28655","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2024.e28655","article-title":"Agricultural value chain and households\u2019 livelihood in Africa: The case of Nigeria","volume":"10","author":"Adediran","year":"2024","journal-title":"Heliyon"},{"key":"ref_3","unstructured":"FAO (2023).
