beekeeping

In the Gran Chaco, beekeeping has a history that spans from the extractive practices of indigenous communities for consumption, beverage formulation, medicinal use, among other purposes. In recent decades, there has been a significant development and expansion of this activity driven by the ecological possibility of producing a healthy, rich, and natural sweetener in an environment with unique characteristics. In this new context, the development of beekeeping incorporates modern principles, becoming a significant income generator for communities. Family beekeeping enterprises have emerged, selling their products in local markets as well as nationally and, in some cases, internationally, depending on the level of organization they have achieved.

Objectives

  • Drive the transformation of beekeeping in the Chaco region in the context of climate change through the strategic adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
  • Strengthen the organizational capacity of beekeeping families in the region, highlighting the role of women in the chain.
  • Promote an investment ecosystem for local innovation in the beekeeping sector.
How do we do it?

Within the framework of the strategic alliance with El Futuro Está En El Monte, our focus is on strengthening producer associations, developing projects, facilitating access to credit, providing access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for business scaling, and promoting adaptation to climate change.

We propose a resilient beekeeping approach by combining Ecosystem-based Adaptation with Community-based Adaptation (ABC). This involves valuing the knowledge, wisdom, and experience that local communities have acquired to address climate-related challenges.
