Cacao and Reforestation: Farmers in Morazán trained in grafting and nursery skills to improve cacao crops. The program also promotes agroforestry, using shade trees and companion crops to support reforestation and healthier plantations. El Niño Preparations: The UN warns an exceptionally powerful El Niño could intensify extreme weather and hunger risks, with Pacific temperatures potentially reaching 3.8°C above average. It says early action can help protect vulnerable communities and livelihoods.

Climate Risks: The UN’s weather agency warns that El Niño could reach unprecedented strength, with tropical Pacific temperatures forecast 3.8°C above average late this year. Its impacts could intensify weather extremes and hunger; a regional report says six in 10 Central American farming families are already out of food. Agroforestry: Farmers in Morazán completed training in cacao grafting, nursery management and pest prevention under El Salvador’s Productive Reforestation Program. The initiative also pairs cacao with shade trees and other crops to support reforestation and farm resilience. Climate Inequality: Oxfam says the world’s richest 0.1% generate more carbon pollution than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined, while poorer communities bear greater climate risks.

Agroforestry: Farmers in Morazán completed training in cacao grafting and nursery management, with a program that combines high-value crops with shade trees and other plants to support reforestation. El Niño Risks: The UN warns the developing El Niño could reach unprecedented strength, threatening weather and food supplies. Across Central America, six in ten farming families are already short of food, underscoring the need to prepare vulnerable communities. Cleaner Farm Energy: Grupo Campestre has begun a $12.3 million poultry-farm project in San Miguel. A biodigester is expected to turn 7,300 tonnes of organic waste into biogas, adding to the company’s solar power capacity.

El Niño Alert: The WMO warns that the Pacific could reach 3.8°C above average by late 2026, potentially bringing extreme weather that deepens food insecurity. A regional report says six in ten Central American farming families are already out of food, raising concerns for vulnerable Salvadoran communities. Cleaner Farming: In San Miguel, Grupo Campestre has begun a $12.3 million poultry project that plans to turn 7,300 tonnes of organic waste into biogas, generating 3,600 megawatt-hours of energy a year.

El Niño Alert: The UN warns that an exceptionally strong El Niño could bring severe drought, floods and heat, with Pacific temperatures potentially reaching 3.8°C above average by early 2027. The event could worsen crop losses and hunger across vulnerable regions, including Central America; the UN says preparation time is running short. Agriculture and Energy: Grupo Campestre has begun a $12.3 million poultry farm in San Miguel. The company says a biodigester will convert organic waste into biogas, adding to its solar power for on-site energy.

El Niño Alert: The UN warns the developing El Niño could reach unprecedented strength, with Pacific temperatures forecast to rise 3.8°C above average. The crisis could deepen hunger for millions; Central American farming families are already struggling with food shortages. Cleaner Farming: Grupo Campestre has begun a $12.3 million poultry farm in San Miguel, with a biodigester set to turn organic waste into 3,600 megawatt-hours of biogas annually, alongside solar power. Dry Corridor Resilience: In drought-hit Morazán, women whose crops failed built a hammock cooperative to replace lost farm income, showing how communities are adapting as water supplies and harvests come under pressure.

Regional Drought Response: Honduras is using cloud seeding to try to bring rain to drought-stricken areas, though the technique’s effectiveness remains contested. The effort highlights pressures facing Central America as a powerful El Niño approaches. El Niño and Food Security: UN agencies warn Pacific temperatures could climb 3.8°C above average between November and January, raising risks of drought, floods and extreme heat. Six in ten Central American farming families are already out of food, while the World Food Programme warns the event could push millions more into acute hunger. The UN has released $50 million to help communities prepare. Cleaner Energy: El Salvador’s Grupo Campestre has begun a poultry-farm expansion in San Miguel, with plans to turn organic waste into biogas and combine it with solar power for on-site energy.

El Niño Alert: The UN warns Pacific temperatures could climb 3.8°C above average, bringing drought, floods and extreme heat. Up to 50 million people may face greater hunger, while six in ten Central American farming families are already reported to be out of food—a sharp warning for vulnerable communities in El Salvador. Cleaner Agribusiness: A new $12.3 million poultry farm in San Miguel plans to convert organic waste into biogas and combine it with solar power, adding renewable energy to its production expansion.
