“…Esta transformación en el pensamiento refleja un cambio en las percepciones y roles de género, destacando la autonomía y la toma de decisiones independientes de las mujeres en la actualidad. Aunque, estudios de Bautista y Juárez (2016); Covarrubias Feregrino (2016) y Lamiño Jaramillo et al (2022) determinaron que la mujer tiene poca participación a nivel de la comunidad porque el esposo no les permite salir de los hogares o también a una serie de factores interrelacionados a estereotipos, falta de acceso a educación, recursos, normas culturales y responsabilidades domésticas. Massolo (2006) y García (2016) mencionaron que es necesario que las mujeres rurales tengan la oportunidad de participar en la toma de decisiones y desarrollar habilidades interactivas a nivel social y cultural.…”

Los aspectos psicosociales son emociones o comportamientos que afectan el bienestar de un individuo y que a la vez influyen en el momento de tomar decisiones o realizar alguna actividad. Para este estudio se tomó en consideración tener como objetivo identificar los aspectos psicosociales en el ámbito personal, social y material que influyen en la participación de mujeres en emprendimientos comunitarios en la Subcuenca del Río Namasigüe, Honduras. Metodología: Las 38 mujeres tenían el interés en común de ser parte del establecimiento de una planta procesadora de frutas. Para este estudio exploratorio, la información se recolectó a través de una encuesta que contenía 11 preguntas demográficas 52 preguntas tipo “Likert” y 33 preguntas relacionadas con violencia doméstica, participación en emprendimientos y migración. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y se identificó que, dentro de la dimensión personal el aspecto psicosocial que influye positivamente es obtención de conocimiento y el negativo auto marginación. Resultados: En la dimensión social el positivo es equidad de género y el negativo subordinación. Finalmente, en el ámbito material el positivo es realización personal y el negativo auto marginación. Discusión: Los aspectos psicosociales pueden generar impactos positivos o negativos en las mujeres rurales que participan en emprendimientos comunitarios. Por lo que juegan un rol fundamental para la adopción de los proyectos comunitarios. Conclusión: Para fortalecer los emprendimientos comunitarios es necesario trabajar bajo un enfoque familiar de esta manera, las mujeres reducen los impactos y aspectos psicosociales negativos; y se mejora su nivel de empoderamiento.

“…Intibucá, where institutions have promoted spaces for the participation of women, has the highest number of women who are independent workers (Muller & Sousa, 2020). Many organizations are represented by women who have experienced mass migration of their husbands and sons, leaving them in charge of agricultural production (Jaramillo et al, 2021). Accordingly, the data revealed a high percentage of migration (37%) in Intibucá.…”

“…The lower number of changes in Intibucá could also be associated with sociodemographic factors-lower education levels and higher migration rates in Intibucá than in Choluteca. For example, the Intibucá respondents mentioned that they had a household member who had migrated, mainly men, leaving women in charge of agricultural production and decision-making (Jaramillo et al, 2021) which explains the high proportion of women participants (71%) in the PICSA meetings. More research is needed to better understand the farmers' decision-making processes regarding the intersection of climate, food security, and migration, as well as the linking of climate services with off-farm livelihoods and the role of remittances in households' decision-making.…”

While climate services for small-scale farmers are gaining recognition for contributing to adaptation and resilience to climate variability and change, their provision in developing countries remains a critical challenge. Effective climate services consider why and how farmers of varied socioeconomic background make relevant decisions avoiding the traditional prescriptive forms of transfer that merely focus on delivering climate information. Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa shows that climate services for agriculture generates transformations in how farmers access and use climate information, as well as changes in farmer decision-making. In this paper, we address the question of whether the same effect is also seen in Latin America, where farming systems, farming decisions, socioeconomic contexts and non-climate constraints are very different to those of Africa. A group of 209 farmers in the dry corridor in Honduras was studied. We find that 98% of the trained farmers did uptake and use the climate information, and some 73% expressed that the agroclimatic information was key to the success of their harvest despite the challenging 2019 season. Some 43% of the farmers made changes in farming practices. In particular, farmers changed the crop they grew, the crop and land management, the planting dates, inputs and crop varieties. These changes reportedly had positive effects on their food security, and income. These findings support the hypothesis that Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) plays a positive role in providing effective climate services in Central America, improving decision-making, and enabling farmers to make their own decisions based on the analysis of information and their demands regardless of their level of literacy. We pose that participatory climate services in agriculture can catalyse processes of long-term transformation in farming systems, notably through lifting farmers out of poverty and food insecurity and providing an integrated approach to make informed decisions in the face of climatic variation.

“…Youth considered agriculture to be old-fashioned work that does not give them a profitable return on investment. Agricultural extension programs must invest in community-based training since it has been demonstrated that Latin American rural youth enrolled in these programs are less willing to move from their communities (Lamiño Jaramillo, Boren-Alpizar, Morales et al, 2021).…”

Latin America’s Indigenous are as varied as the place they live in and focus on past, beliefs, and culture. In Ecuador, the Indigenous Salasacas are famous for being strict in their cultural preservation, language, customs, agricultural practices, and costumes, which are considered unique. This ethnographic study aimed to understand the Salasacas’s agricultural identity across different generations and reports the experiences and perceptions of 12 Salasacas participants. Participants reported that many Salasacas have changed from agriculture to other economic activities, such as textiles, due to the limited agricultural programs and the influence of Hispanic culture. Participants informed the researchers that cultural pride and unity are fundamental Salasacas traits. They encourage new generations to continue studying to overcome racial issues with academic preparation. Program implementers must know how to honor Indigenous knowledge while introducing new knowledge and consider participants’ characteristics, such as age and gender, which is imperative for successful outcomes.
