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

The document highlights how climate change causes water stress and extreme weather that negatively affects the physical and mental health of rural women in Uruguay. It advocates for agroecology as a transformative strategy for climate adaptation and food sovereignty, while noting that the contributions of rural women remain insufficiently recognized in current public policies.

• Climate change in Uruguay manifests as water stress and extreme weather events, which create production uncertainty and a care burden that directly impacts the physical, mental, and emotional health of women engaged in agroecological farming.
• Despite their central role in land stewardship and food production, the contributions of agroecological women are largely unrecognized in public health and climate change policies, and these women face gaps in accessing appropriate health services and decision-making spaces.
• Agroecology is identified as a transformative strategy that supports health promotion, food sovereignty, and climate adaptation, contributing to a more just and resilient transition.
