Con una porción relevante de territorio cubierto de bosques, Honduras puede beneficiarse de implementar REDD+ tanto para contribuir a mitigar el cambio climático como para adaptarse a sus consecuencias. La adaptación al cambio climático es, sin lugar a dudas, una prioridad para el país, ya que éste ha afrontado eventos climáticos severos, incluyendo huracanes e inundaciones. En la actualidad, un abanico de actividades REDD+ se están implementando en el país, y también procesos de preparación para REDD+ con financiamiento de programas internacionales.

rural population
About two-thirds of the developing world’s 3 billion rural people live in about 475 million small farm households, working on land plots smaller than 2 hectares. 1 Many are poor and food insecure and have limited access to markets and services. Their choices are constrained, but they farm their land and produce food for a substantial proportion of the world’s population. Besides farming they have multiple economic activities, often in the informal economy, to contribute towards their small incomes.

More than 30 years ago, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) started a post-harvest programme in Central America named “Postcosecha”. The significant impact that was still evident long after the project end also continues to exist after the cessation of external support. The current priority in SDC’s contribution to post-harvest management (PHM) is to use existing knowledge and experience to create conditions for scaling up the most appropriate PHM technologies in sub-Saharan Africa.
