Construcción de problemáticas y estrategias sobre cambio climático, salud y agroecología: Experiencia y aportes del grupo de mujeres en la Red de Agroecología del Uruguay

This policy brief describes a project focused on the intersection of climate change, health, and agroecology in Uruguay, specifically highlighting the experiences and contributions of the women's group within the Red de Agroecología del Uruguay (RAU). The project utilized a transdisciplinary 'ecosalud' (ecosystemic health) approach to identify climate-related health challenges and develop recommendations for public policy.

• Climate change disproportionately affects rural territories and the health of food-producing populations. In Uruguay, women in agroecological production experience water stress, extreme weather events, and production uncertainty, which directly impact their physical, mental, and emotional health.
• Despite their central role in food production, territorial care, and life sustainability, the contributions of agroecological women are insufficiently recognized in public health and climate change policies.
• Agroecology serves as a transformative strategy for health, climate adaptation, and sustainability, providing key tools for food sovereignty and health promotion.
• There are significant gaps regarding the participation of rural women in decision-making processes and their access to health services that are appropriate for their specific realities.
• The project's results are intended to provide concrete inputs to strengthen the National Agroecology Plan and other health and climate policies through a gender and territorial lens, while empowering the RAU Women's Group as a collective actor for advocacy.
