El Niño está intensificando la sequía en el Corredor Seco de Centroamérica, lo que representa un desafío creciente para los agricultores de Guatemala y Honduras en la producción de alimentos básicos como el maíz y el frijol. Esto pone en riesgo sus medios de vida y la seguridad alimentaria de sus comunidades.
El programa SoilFER de la FAO está ayudando a mitigar estos efectos mediante la recolección y análisis de muestras de suelo, creando mapas de fertilidad y ofreciendo recomendaciones para mejorar la salud del suelo y la resiliencia ante fenómenos meteorológicos extremos. Este video documenta la colaboración entre agricultores, investigadores y socios gubernamentales en la búsqueda de soluciones prácticas.
