The El Niño phenomenon is expected to have negative impacts on Agriculture in Latin America, with below-normal rainfall projected for several countries and above-normal precipitation for others. This could lead to decreased food availability, reduced income for vulnerable households, and negative effects on crops and livestock. The FAO is implementing proactive actions to mitigate these risks, including support for water management, seed storage, and livestock feed. They have also launched a response plan to raise funds to assist vulnerable communities in the region. A coordinated effort is needed to protect livelihoods and food security in the face of El Niño.
