Mastering the Impacts of Climate Change
Glenda Fuentes and her husband Juan run a coffee farm in the highlands of Ocotepeque, Honduras, where they live with their daughters Mariela and Yanira. Glenda was a 25-year-old farmer when she noticed yellow stains and dark orange spots on their coffee plants: Coffee Leaf Rust. The couple quickly acted: they wiped their entire farm clean and started to replant their coffee trees from zero.
After this shock, Glenda participated in the local c&c climate adaptation training. She learned about climate-smart agricultural practices and was able to transform their farm, which today serves as an example of innovative climate adaptation in their community.
