Rural Women in Peru Seed Water Today to Harvest It Tomorrow

This article highlights a community-led initiative in the rural Andean highlands of Cuzco, Peru, where women farmers are reviving ancient water harvesting techniques to combat increasing drought and water scarcity linked to climate change. Led by the Flora Tristán Peruvian Women's Center, the project trains women in agroecology, rights advocacy, and sustainable land management through the use of “cochas” (small ponds), infiltration ditches, and afforestation. These efforts aim to improve water availability, food security, and climate resilience while promoting gender equality in water management. Over 700 families are expected to benefit from the project’s impact on agricultural productivity and ecosystem restoration.
