“…Farmers in different regions have different perceptions and adaptation strategies to adjust with change in climate. Farmers' perception to climate change play a great role not only to adaptation strategies but also in designing policy and integration of scientific and indigenous knowledge for climate change adaptation (Juana et al 2013;Ayal and Filho 2017;Woods et al 2017). In agriculture, climate change adaptation is as old as the agriculture itself.…”

Sustainable food production is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century in the era of global environmental problems such as climate change, increasing population and natural resource degradation including soil degradation and biodiversity loss. Climate change is among the greatest threats to agricultural systems. Green Revolution though multiplied agricultural production several folds but at the huge environmental cost including climate change. It jeopardized the ecological integrity of agroecosystems by intensive use of fossil fuels, natural resources, agrochemicals and machinery. Moreover, it threatened the age-old traditional agricultural practices. Agriculture is one of the largest sectors that sustain livelihood to maximum number of people and contribute to climate change. Therefore, a climate-smart approach to sustainable food production is the need of hour. Traditional agriculture is getting increased attention worldwide in context of sustainable food production in changing climate. The present article advocates traditional agriculture as a climate-smart approach for the sustainable food production and also deliberates the correlation between climate change and agriculture.

“…SES perception describes how a person perceives the SES through the brain and their sense ability to process and store information [20]. These perceptions are culturally and socially contextual [21]; hence they have to be analyzed for every specific SES and they might differ for different types of actors. To analyze the motivational mechanisms and the cognitive processes and perceptions that form the behavior of the different actors, it is necessary to understand alternative forms of thinking and action.…”

The sound management of Social-Ecological Systems (SESs) requires a deep knowledge of the system and its dynamics, but effective strategies also need to include the perceptions of the local actors. These perceptions are specific and might differ for different actors. In this research, we analyzed the gender and across scales differences in the perception of a SES and unveiled the potential reasons that shape the different actors' understanding. Using structural analysis tools, we analyzed the perceptions of local women, local men, and external stakeholders on the most relevant variables shaping the actual and future sustainable management of a SES. The research was developed in Santiago Comaltepec, an Indigenous community located in the Sierra de Oaxaca (Mexico) that manage their forest under community-based strategies. The gender differences in perception showed the inequalities in agency, voice, and power between women and men. The comparison of the perceptions between community members and external stakeholders showed greater similarities, but still reflected power differences and differences in knowledge and cultural representations. We concluded that sound and resilient SES management need to recognize the gendered and across scales diversity in perception, knowledge, and practices and create bridges and synergies among knowledge systems to shape desirable trajectories.

“…People base their perception on personal experiences, knowledge and character McDonald [12]. Woods, et al [13] asserts that empirical evidence has shown that resident's perception of climate change is positively correlated with adaptive behavior. Hitayezu, et al [14] added that raising public awareness of the threats of climate change has become a common commitment to global action towards realizable adaptation measures.…”
