Issues and Strategies related to Climate Change, Health, and Agroecology: Experiences and Contributions of the Women’s Group in the Uruguay Agroecology Network

This policy brief describes a transdisciplinary project focused on the intersection of climate change, health, and agroecology in Uruguay, specifically highlighting the experiences and contributions of the Women’s Group in the Uruguay Agroecology Network (RAU).

• Women engaged in agroecological farming in Uruguay experience physical, mental, and emotional health impacts resulting from water stress, extreme weather events, production uncertainty, and a care burden.
• Despite their central roles in land stewardship, food production, and the sustainability of life, the contributions of agroecological women are largely unrecognized in climate change and public health policies.
• There are existing gaps regarding the access of rural women to health services appropriate to their specific circumstances and their participation in decision-making spaces.
• Agroecology is identified as a transformative strategy that provides essential mechanisms for health promotion, food sovereignty, and climate adaptation.
