Small Farmers

Small-scale rancher Rolando Pastrana of Morolica, Choluteca, has lost six cattle to extreme heat and lack of water and feed, burning the carcasses to prevent contamination, as drought-stricken families in the area wait for rain with no government aid in sight.

The Tegucigalpa municipal government and the Agriculture Ministry signed a cooperation agreement to provide technical assistance and climate resilience support to 2,500–4,000 small and mid-size farmers in the capital's rural areas.
