“…These problems are witnessed in coffee growing regions in Kodagu district leading to serious local ecological damages that can reach critical thresholds and have long-term implications on coffee production in the region. These influences have been broadly endorsed by coffee farmers and key informants interviewed during the course of the study 2 in Kodagu (Chengappa et al, 2016). A majority of the Arabica holdings witnessed a negative growth in their coffee yield as compared to the positive growth of Robusta holdings in the last ten years reiterating our results of district level analysis.…”

“…Vast literature on the subject has also revealed that coffee growing regions will experience a decrease in climatic suitability for growing Arabica coffee similar to the evidence of decreasing yields witnessed by the sample growers in Kodagu. Interestingly, climate risks are not ranked high by coffee farmers as their priority concern as much as they do for market price volatility (Tucker et al 2010, Chengappa et al, 2016. Options for coffee growers include adaptation through a series of agronomic interventions, alternative income sources and crop diversification.…”

“…In Africa and Asia, farmers commonly use drought-tolerant plant and animal species, water and soil management practices, and diversified income streams to spread risks and adjust to shifting climate conditions. 76,[79][80][81][82][83][84] Technical and infrastructural responses are also common, most notably in Europe and in cities, particularly in the water sector. 85,86 Institutional responses such as instituting policies, programs, regulations, and procedures, and forming formal and informal organizations (e.g.…”

We present the first systematic, global stocktake of the academic literature on human adaptation. We screen 48,316 documents and identify 1,682 articles that present empirical research documenting human efforts to reduce risk from climate change and associated hazards. Coding and synthesizing this literature highlights that the overall extent of adaptation across global regions and sectors is low. Adaptations are largely local and incremental rather than transformative. Behavioural adjustments by individuals and households are more prevalent than any other type of response, largely motivated by drought and precipitation variability. Local governments and civil society are engaging in risk reduction across all sectors and regions, particularly in response to flooding. Urban technological and infrastructural adaptations to flood risk are prevalent in Europe, while shifts in farming practices dominate reporting from Africa and Asia. Despite increasing evidence of adaptation responses, evidence that these responses are reducing risks (observed and projected) remains limited.

“…Christman et al (2016) y De Beurs y Henebry ( 2005) señalan efectos en la duración y el inicio de las temporadas de los cultivos en todo el mundo debido a la variabilidad interanual del clima. La percepción de dicha variabilidad es cada vez más evidente para los productores que han detectado cambios en el inicio y patrón de las lluvias, lo que les ha permitido adoptar estrategias para mitigar sus efectos (Chengappa, et al, 2017).…”

La disponibilidad de agua es un factor prioritario para la agricultura. La precipitación es la principal fuente hídrica de cultivos perennes como el café; sin embargo, el cambio en la distribución de la precipitación, debida a la variabilidad climática, podría repercutir en su desarrollo ya que el cultivo de café ha demostrado ser sensible a cambios en los patrones del clima. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar el efecto de la variabilidad de la precipitación en la fenología del café (Coffea arabica) a partir de un estudio de caso en la zona cafetalera Xalapa-Coatepec, Veracruz (México). Se delimitó una parcela de café (var. Garnica) bajo sombra (Acrocarpus fraxinifolius) (19.51998° N, 96.94339° W; 1320 msnm). Se realizaron observaciones semanalmente, a 30 plantas de café (una rama plagiotrófica) para determinar inicio y duración de las fases fenológicas. Se midieron variables microclimáticas con una estación meteorológica automática (Davis Vantage Pro2TM). Se instaló un pluviómetro automatizado (HOBO Onset) a 30 m de la parcela experimental, en un sitio abierto. El monitoreo se realizó durante dos ciclos productivos (mayo 2017 a mayo 2019). Se relacionaron las variables fenológicas con las condiciones pluviométricas. El periodo evaluado se vio influenciado por los fenómenos de La Niña (ciclo productivo 2017-2018) y El Niño (ciclo productivo 2018-2019), presentándose precipitaciones por arriba y por debajo de la media anual, respectivamente. Las fases de crecimiento y llenado y maduración, del ciclo productivo 2018-2019, fueron más extensas quizá debido a la baja disponibilidad de agua causada por la sequía intraestival (julio) y la sequía preestival (enero-febrero). El monitoreo de las condiciones pluviométricas y su variabilidad permitirá planear e implementar estrategias para reducir los efectos de los periodos de secas.
