“…Therefore, each country and even region should be investigated as unique cases. Developing countries are more vulnerable to climate-related effects due to their low adaptive capacity (Aryal et al 2019;Hossain et al 2019;Iqbal et al 2016), lower ability to alleviate the adverse effects (Dubey and Sharma 2018;Perez et al 2019), and inadequate resources. However, most studies have focused on developed countries, and developing countries have taken less attention.…”

This study assessed the long-run (LR) and short-run (SR) impacts of climatic and non-climatic factors, i.e., CO 2 emissions (CO 2 e), average level of temperature (ALT), average level of precipitation (ALP), area harvested of wheat and rice crops (AHW and (AHR), domestic credit (DCR), and agricultural labor (ALB) on wheat and rice production (WP and RP) in Turkey by using annual time series data ranging from 1980 to 2016 and by employing several econometric techniques. The autoregressive distributed lag-bounds (ARDL) approach and the Johansen and Juselius cointegration (JJC) test confirmed a valid long-term connection among underlying variables. The estimation results from the ARDL model reveal that climatic factors such as CO 2 emissions and temperature adversely affected wheat production in the long run as well as in the short run, whereas precipitation positively improved wheat production in both periods. Further results indicate that non-climatic factors like area harvested of wheat and domestic credit positively and significantly enhanced wheat production in the long run and short run. Similarly, CO 2 emissions also adversely affected rice production in both periods, while temperature and precipitation positively contributed towards rice production in both cases. In addition, area harvested of rice positively and significantly boosted rice production in the long run as well as in the short run, while domestic credit negatively influenced rice production in the long run but in the short run positively improved rice production. Additionally, the outcomes of the VECM Granger Causality for both rice and wheat production confirm that both climatic and non-climatic variables have a strong influence on the production of both crops. This study found that climate change has a deleterious influence on both wheat and rice production; therefore, the study suggests that temperature-resistant varieties of both crops should be developed and introduced by agricultural research institutions. In addition to this, up-to-date information is more needed related to climate change, and in the farming communities, it should be provided by agricultural extension workers.

“…Thus, precipitation1 contains the cumulative rainfall that occur in the entire Colombian territory during the whole year, precipitation2 contains the cumulative rainfall that occur in the thirteen most important common bean production regions in Colombia during the whole year, and precipitation3 contains the cumulative rainfall that occur in the thirteen most important common bean production regions in Colombia during the growing season, which typically occurs between April and September (Rios et al, 2017 ; Perez et al . , 2019 ). We chose thirteen regions because they represent nearly 90% of land area under common beans (DANE, 2014 ).…”

The effect of ENSO on common bean production in Colombia: a time series approach

The common bean is an important staple food in Colombia with diverse nutritional content and environmental benefits. The most important climatic risk confronted by common bean production in Colombia is El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) since its two extreme phases —El Niño and La Niña— increase the intensity and variety of abiotic and biotic stresses in the region. Using information from the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) for the period 1991–2018, we test whether pre-2030 ENSO has had a negative impact on common bean production in Colombia using a Prais–Winsten regression model. We find that common beans’ yields have been negatively affected by El Niño, but not by La Niña. Moreover, short-run ENSO-induced deviations in the growth rate of precipitation with respect to its long-run value reduce yields and increase farmers’ income from common bean production. These results have two important implications. From a modelling standpoint, we find that precipitation has a non-linear relationship with yields and incomes, implying that second-order effects should be incorporated in any analysis of the effects of climatic variables on agricultural production. From a policy perspective, our results suggest a need for countercyclical polices to counteract price spikes of common beans in the Colombian market since, when they occur, they tend to over-compensate the reduction in yields, which reduce common bean consumers’ purchasing power and food security.

“… Perez et al (2019) explains in detail the questionnaire constructed for this study. The information was collected by CIAT and CGIAR as part of “AgroClimas” project, which is aimed to understand common bean growers' decision-making at farm level in areas highly affected by ENSO ( Rios et al, 2017 ).…”

“…The department of Santander has been selected for this study because it is the fifth most important common bean producing region in Colombia ( DANE, 2014 ) and it is expected to be the worst affected by climate change among the most important common bean production regions in Colombia ( Ramirez-Villegas et al, 2012 ; Eitzinger et al, 2014 ; Eitzinger et al, 2018 ). Moreover, Santander's municipalities are mainly located on the Andean mountains, which implies that Santander has the archetypal mountainous landscape of the Colombian Andes and any inference based on this region is easily extendable to other Colombian regions with similar agroecological environments and elevation-driven weather variations ( Perez et al, 2019 ; Botero et al, 2020 ).…”

Variety selection and diversification are climate change adaptation practices pursued by Colombian common bean producers. We investigate the drivers behind common bean variety selection and diversification in one of the most important common bean production regions in Colombia —Santander. The effects of climate change on this region are expected to be elevation driven. Exploiting the relationship between elevation-driven weather variations and climate change perception in Santander, we estimate an alternative-specific conditional logistic regression model to identify the determinants of common bean variety selection from a survey of producers. Using an ordered-logistic regression model, we also investigate the drivers behind common bean variety diversification within this farming community. We find that farms' elevation, household composition, and seed certification are some of the most important drivers behind farmers' common bean variety selection in Santander. We also find that varieties that sell at higher prices and have shorter vegetative cycles tend to be more preferred by farmers. Finally, farmers who receive more help from family members and own a tractor tend to grow more than one variety in the same production cycle. Common bean breeding programmes can exploit these drivers to design communication strategies to maximize uptake of newly developed common bean phenotypes.
