The Sunday Story: Uprooted from Honduras by Climate Change
Podcast: Up First from NPRPublished On: Sun Jul 23 2023
Description: "I feel that I'm stuck. I don't feel that I can build the future I want here."Climate change is disrupting traditional agriculture in Honduras. Unpredictable weather patterns have led to droughts and flooding in a region that has historically relied on rain patterns, and a declining coffee harvest is pushing young farmers to make a difficult decision: should they stay or leave for better opportunities in the U.S.? NPR's Joel Rose and Marisa Peñaloza traveled to remote villages and towns in Honduras to talk to young people who are in the midst of this decision. In this episode of The Sunday Story, Joel and Marisa tell us about their journey, and their conversations with young farmers about what it would mean to stay or go.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
