  • Santiago Oaxaca, is an indigenous Maya Chortí who lives in Carrizalón, Honduras. Here he checks through some beans salvaged from a ruined harvest, most however are inedible by humans because they sprouted and also have a fungal rot, caused by excessive humidity during the rains that came with hurricanes Eta and Iota.

  • Coffee trees were destroyed across hundreds of hectares of land that suffered landslides in Honduras after hurricanes Eta and Iota. Extremely heavy and protracted rainfall also caused widespread dropping of green coffee and the leafs from coffee trees.

  • Dilma Chávez is a small-scale coffee farmer in San Luis Planes, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. She is a member of the Montaña Verde cooperative. “On my farm and my husbands farm we have a lot of fissures on the farm, and some landslides. The roads are badly damaged, some of them you can’t pass. We are having to fix the small roads into the farms ourselves, there’s no help from the government. The coffee is suffering a lot from fungal infections, ojo de gallo, leaf rust, and it’s very hard to control with so much moisture, it will probably spread and gets worse. This year we’ll have a big drop in production, everyone in the coop will suffer, it’s big. And that affects us all economically. And some houses have been affected, in the two villages called El Zapote. We grow most of our own food here, and all those crops have also be affected, the corn, the beans, with so much rain we’ve lost a lot of that too.”

Some crops rotted, some dried out, many crops sprouted on the their stems before they could be harvested, most of the staple crops have been lost. Nutrients have been washed out of the soil too and a huge wave of fungal diseases like canker and leaf rust are just beginning. Cash crops like coffee are badly affected as well as food for local consumption.

  • Jesús García Hernández, in the village of Los Horcones, Langue, Valle, Honduras. "The community is affected by a prolonged drought. We’ve just lost another harvest, it’s gone on for nine years. Winters used to be good, we’d have rain. Now we have years where there’s no water in the streams, the rivers, the wells. We need water, without it we suffer. The crops need water, without it they don’t grow and we don’t get a crop, it’s simple. The trees keep the humidity, but man has chopped down the trees. Now the trees that are left are drying up”.

  • Hector Hermilo Perdomo, COCASJOL, Colinas, Santa Bárbara, Honduras. “With the two hurricanes that hit Honduras, the water that fell with them has affected us very much. We’ve had landslides, lots of land has been wiped out, taking with it our crops. Just in my bit of land I’ve lost two manzanas (5 acres) that means 7000 coffee plants that I’ve lost, that I can’t recover. Also the production of those 7000 plants, that’s about 35 quintals of dry pergamino coffee that I’ve lost. All this means I’m in difficulties financially, it’s a big loss. Also I’ve lost the musacea, the bananas we plant alongside the coffee as shade, and we have a substantial trade of bananas to Guatemala, mainly the small banana we call ‘mínimo’, we’ve lost that too. We’ve got big difficulties with access to and from our farms here, after the main roads and minor roads were affected by landslides, and that has made it hard to get any product out to market, or get machinery in to fix things on our farms. I’ve had 14 small landslides, and two big ones on my own property.”

“I’m mother to three children, I don’t have a husband, I’m single and I have to struggle to look after my kids. I have a little bit of land, but I don’t have seeds to sow and I don’t have money to buy seeds. A lot of people in this community are in the same situation. There are a few families who have someone who migrated to the US who can help them out to buy seeds, but most of us don’t. We’ve lost harvests several times, because it didn’t rain, or it rained too much, and so we’ve got no seeds left. When it rains too much, the crops die from disease or they’re washed away, when it doesn’t rain enough, they dry up, either way, us farmers lose everything”.

  • Firewood on sale on the side of the road in the dry corridor near San Lorenzo, Honduras. Farmers who've lost their crops because of the drought try to make ends meet by cutting down the trees they have to sell for firewood. Cutting down the trees exacerbates the drought and decreases the chances of recovery of the water table.

  • "My name is Nigel Kalaepa, I'm from the Solomon Islands, I work as coordinator of Faith and Missions in the Anglican Church of Melanesia. My islands are slowly being eroded, weíve lost houses and villages. Our crops are failing because they are being inundated with salt water and salt water is getting into the fresh water. Within the next few years we need to move half of our population out of our home because the atoll environment cannot sustain 4500 people who are there at the moment. Climate change is affecting the lives of my people now."
