The Los Chorros Megaproject, El Salvador's largest infrastructure scheme, has severely impacted coffee farms like those of Ines Ortiz, who has seen nearly three hectares lost.
The decline of the coffee industry, which once powered El Salvador's economy, has resulted from climate change, emigration, and a massive drop in exports.
A new generation of growers, particularly more women, is seeking to revitalize the coffee sector by focusing on the production of high-quality beans.
El Salvador's coffee exports dropped by 65% over the last 20 years, primarily due to climate change effects and an epidemic of leaf-rust fungus.
