Guatemala, State of Central America; 109,000 km 2, 17.2 million residents (2019).Guatemala borders west and north to Mexico, northeast to Belize and southeast to El Salvador and Honduras, and has a south coastal strip to the Pacific and to the east a narrow coastal strip to the Atlantic. The capital is Guatemala City (994,300 residents, 2018).

Guatemala is ecologically rich, but vulnerable to natural disasters and climate change, both of which hit rural and indigenous farmers hardest. With plantation-style industrial farming taking up much of the country, access to land is a big issue. Local farmers are often forced to farm steep, unstable slopes, where the soil quality is poor.
