Linking gender equity and low-emissions agriculture
Publicado en
A pilot project in Honduras thwarts the recent epidemic of coffee leaf rust while also empowering women and supporting low-emission agriculture. Women farmers get access to small
plots of land to plant with disease-resistant coffee and tree crops. The land and seedlings are paired with fuel-efficient cookstoves, ensuring that the women gain both long- and short-term
benefits. The pilot’s straightforward approach, centered around women’s needs and
agency, will be scaled up across Honduras and into Nicaragua and Guatemala.
