OMR main objective is to "Contribute to agrarian and rural development in an integrated and interdisciplinary perspective, through research, studies and debates about policies and other agrarian issues and rural development. Contribute to the preparation and monitoring of agrarian and rural development policies."

OMR main research areas as in its Strategic Plan for 2021-2025 are: (1) Public policies and rural areas; (2) Agribusiness, formerly known as rural development models; (2) Poverty, social inequalities, gender, and political conflicts; (3) Environment (focused on climate change) versus agricultural productivity (focused on soil fertility), deforestation and changes in production systems for greater resilience to climate shocks and artisanal mining (garimpo) and, (4) Land and territory.

In terms of territorial focus, the OMR will focus on the following provinces: Cabo Delgado, Nampula (coastal), Zambézia (Alta Zambézia) and Centre of the country (concentrated in the Beira corridor). Denna beredning avser kärnstöd till OMR - Observatório do Meio Rural, en moçambikisk civilsamhällesorganisation vars uppdrag är "Produktion och spridning av kunskap genom forskning, för att påverka offentliga riktlinjer baserade på vetenskap, samt för att ge näring till lokala åtgärder och opinionsbildning, som syftar till hållbar och inkluderande landsbygdsutveckling."

OMR:s huvudmål är att "bidra till jordbruks- och landsbygdsutveckling i ett integrerat och tvärvetenskapligt perspektiv, genom forskning, studier och debatter om politik och andra jordbruksfrågor och landsbygdsutveckling. Bidra till att förbereda och följa upp politiken för jordbruks- och landsbygdsutveckling."

OMR:s huvudforskningsområden som beskrivs i dess strategiska plan för 2021-2025 är: (1) Offentlig politik och landsbygdsområden; (2) Affärsmässigt jordbruk, tidigare kända som landsbygdsutvecklingsmodeller; (2) Fattigdom, sociala ojämlikheter, kön och politiska konflikter; (3) Miljö (med fokus på klimatförändringar) kontra jordbruksproduktivitet (fokuserad på markens bördighet), avskogning och förändringar i produktionssystem för större motståndskraft mot klimatchocker och småskalig gruvdrift (garimpo) och, (4) Land och territorium.

När det gäller territoriellt fokus kommer OMR att fokusera på följande provinser: Cabo Delgado, Nampula (kust), Zambézia (Alta Zambézia) och mitten av landet (koncentrerat i Beira-korridoren).
