dc.descriptionThis study examines gender disparities in adopting sustainable cattle practices in Olancho, Honduras, a climate-vulnerable region where cattle farming supports rural livelihoods. Surveying 425 producers [participants of Heifer International Farmer Field Schools (FFS)], we found women face systemic barriers: 54% are non-adopters (vs. 39% of men), and 33% of households do not have women participating in any way in farm work. Although fewer women are involved at the early stages of the adoption process, they are just as likely as men to reach advanced implementation (14% compared to 12%). FFS data reveal women’s participation drops at both low (<2 sessions) and high (>5 sessions) engagement levels. Recommendations include gender-responsive training, improved resource access, and leadership programs to harness women’s potential as sustainability leaders, ensuring equitable climate adaptation.
