Abstract

The document provides details on a collaborative project between Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina and Costa Rica, implemented by IICA. The main objective is to empower livestock farming families in Mexico and Guatemala, especially women, youth and indigenous people, to adapt to climate challenges and promote sustainability and inclusion. It highlights the vulnerability of Mexico and Guatemala to climate change and the importance of livestock management in their economies. The project focuses on strengthening the innovation system for climate-resilient and low-emission livestock practices, with a focus on climate change adaptation and mitigation. Practices such as rational grazing and agroforestry are mentioned as key opportunities. The importance of community participation, satellite monitoring and the adoption of sustainable practices to improve climate resilience and promote gender equality is emphasized.
