Colombia’s coffee industry is at risk due to unpredictable seasons, floods, landslides, droughts and pests. Farmers say they want to learn to adapt to these environmental changes but don’t know how.
Cheap Venezuelan oil boosted Nicaragua’s economy and funded President Daniel Ortega’s many anti-poverty programs. With Venezuela in crisis, the oil has dried up – as has support for Ortega’s regime.
Even with the best will in the world, there’s only so much social policy can do to stop organised crime.
Argentina’s Senate voted down an abortion bill 38-31 after a 16-hour debate. The Catholic Church thanked senators for defending ‘life,’ but ever more Catholics here insist on women’s right to choose.
As Brazil’s black women become more conspicuous and powerful, they are bullied and threatened in social media’s modern-day pillory.
Abortion support is high in Argentina, even among Catholics. That puts the church, which opposes an abortion bill up for vote on August 8, in the awkward position of fighting a law its members demand.

The impact of Venezuela’s medical crisis is not gender-neutral.
El Día Después is an important initiative led by the cultural and intellectual elite, for all Mexicans.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador looks set to win the presidency on his third try. Mexico’s powerful interests are scrambling to stop him.
