In MY BEAUTIFUL NICARAGUA, BYkids filmmaker Edelsin Linette Mendez showcases the effects of climate change, such as increasing temperatures, erratic rainfall, and the resulting fungal epidemic known as “la roya” on her family’s generations-old coffee farm. Edelsin’s family, and many more like hers, have suffered losses of up to 50% of their typical crops, and USAID estimates that Central American coffee production as a whole will fall by up to 40% in the next few years.
