“…The CSV of Olopa is located within the ecological region of Trifinio, in the Chiquimula Department of Guatemala. Eight communities from the Olopa CSV were originally selected to be covered by the CSA monitoring: Valle Nuevo (1), Tituque Tishmuntique (3), Prensa arriba (4), Tuticopote abajo el bendito (5), Guayabo el tercer caserio (6), Nochan (7), La Prensa centro (8) and Tuticopote centro (9-newly added). Of those, five (1, 3, 7, 8 and 9) were the communities where most of the CCAFS PAR activities took place in 2019 (most households considered as "CCAFS direct beneficiaries").…”

“…The share of formal female employment in agriculture in these countries varies from 6.6% in Colombia to 8.3% in Honduras and 9.8% in Guatemala, although this number is significantly larger when accounting for informal forms of female engagement in the sector [5]. Rural livelihoods in these Latin American countries are both increasingly threatened by climate change and climate variability [6] and face high levels of gender inequality [7][8][9]. Though this research, we examine different socio-economic and demographic factors that affect women's differentiated access to and employment of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices, financial, and climate information services.…”

“…The agricultural sector is particularly vulnerable to climate change and to climate variability [13]. In Honduras, Guatemala, and Colombia, recent climate models of Prager et al [6] anticipate decreases in the suitability of cash crops such as banana (Colombia, Guatemala) and coffee (Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras), and predict increased biophysical vulnerability of staple crops such as maize (Colombia, Guatemala) and potato (Colombia). Vulnerability to climate change is especially acute for smallholder farmers in areas that predominantly practice rainfed agriculture and thus are highly dependent on weather conditions [14].…”

Much of the literature examining the role of gender in processes of climate change adaptation in the agricultural sector has focused primarily on differences between male and female farmers, implicitly treating men and women as homogenous groups. Where heterogeneity exists within these groups which impacts climate change adaptation efforts and outcomes, an understanding of such intersectionalities is vital to the design of effective and equitable policy. The objective of this study is to investigate whether interaction effects among socio-economic factors are meaningful drivers of observed differences among female farmers in their adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices, as well as their use of climate information and financial services. This study employs data from farmer surveys in three Climate-Smart Villages in Latin America, analyzed using ordinal logistic regression and canonical correspondence analysis. The results indicate that important interaction effects are present: the relationship between higher educational attainment and increased adoption of CSA practices, for example, is conditional on the degree of livelihood diversification. The relationship between greater educational attainment and increased use of climate forecasts is likewise conditional on age. These results suggest the need for researchers and policymakers to anticipate potential intersectionalities when designing research efforts and development interventions.

“…Esto contribuye a enfatizar que los gobiernos deben tener precaución al implementar políticas comerciales, como impuestos y cuotas para los importadores y reducción de tarifas de importación. Análisis prospectivos re-cientes demuestran que es probable que la dependencia de las importaciones aumente en toda Mesoamérica y el norte de Sudamérica, además de un mayor potencial de producir excedentes y para la exportación en Brasil y el Cono Sur de Sudamérica (Prager et al, 2016). Monier et al (2016) ilustran cómo la política de mitigación, que limitaría a 2 grados el incremento de las temperaturas superficiales globales, daría lugar a la reducción de aproximadamente 50% del im-pacto potencial en indicadores agrarios clave en los Estados Unidos de América.…”

“…However, in the study area, the planting of transgenic crops has increased, mainly in cotton and corn, due to their increased yield per hectare, which is why it is required in the future to transform social relations within the sciences in relation to the subjects responsible for agricultural production [10]. Given the context, in Argentina and Bolivia, the effects of climate change on crops such as corn and wheat with rainfed irrigation have been evaluated, observing their growth in production, influenced by climate change [24]. Climate change is having significant adverse impacts on smallholder farmers [9].…”

The objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of climate change on agricultural production in the town of Rinconada in the district of Santa, Ancash, Peru. Climate change variables (Precipitation and Temperature) vs. agricultural production were analyzed. We worked with the information collected from the SENAHMI (Servicio Nacional de Methodology e Hydrology del Peru), Lima -Peru through the database of the Pisco station, the Santa Users Board, the La Rinconada Irrigation Commission and the integrated system of agrarian statistics of the Ancash region, Peru [20]. The perception of the irrigation commission of the town of La Rinconada, district of Santa, Ancash, Peru was also evaluated through a survey with questions about the effects of the 2 variables of climate change: precipitation and temperature vs agricultural production of the main crops: corn, cotton, and rice. Climate change was modeled between the periods of 2006 and 2010 and between 2011-2015, through the variables of maximum precipitation and average precipitation in comparison with the variables of planting area, yield, and agricultural production [22]. It can be concluded that it is possible to predict the planting, yield and production of the crops evaluated: corn, cotton, and rice, using only the variables of maximum rainfall, and average rainfall, and that it is necessary to keep investigating the presence of transgenic crops in the Rinconada valley.
