Projections of Local Knowledge-Based Adaptation Strategies of Mexican Coffee Farmers

Abstract: Local knowledge can be a strategy for coping with extreme events and adapting to climate change. In Mexico, extreme events and climate change projections suggest the urgency of promoting local adaptation policies and strategies. This paper provides an assessment of adaptation actions based on the local knowledge of coffee farmers in southern Mexico. The strategies include collective and individual adaptation actions that farmers have established. To determine their viability and impacts, carbon stocks and flux… Show more

“…In Ethiopia, the decision to adopt AFS was found to be first determined by the provision of direct economic benefits and, to a lesser degree, by social factors such as gender, family size, educational level, and land tenure (Gebru et al, 2019). A study in Mexico found that farmers chose 40-80% shade cover to mitigate climate shocks, such as long heatwaves (Ruiz-García et al, 2021), and that the indigenous Huastec Mayan farming communities harbored a high number of edible plants in their coffee AFS (Heindorf et al, 2021). It is therefore essential to adapt AFS locally to answer farmers' needs in favor of the adoption and scaling up of shaded-coffee systems and must also fit with farmers' perceptions of shade trees.…”

“…Se ha demostrado la importancia de la precipitación pluvial y cómo cualquier variabilidad puede tener efectos finales en la productividad (Parada-Molina et al, 2020;Pham et al, 2019). En general, el análisis se ha centrado en los efectos de la sequía en la productividad del café (Pham et al, 2019;Ruiz-García et al, 2021), debido a que es una de las principales limitantes para la producción del grano (DaMatta y Cochicho, 2006).…”

“…Las zonas de mayor productividad se localizan en los estados de Chiapas, Veracruz y Oaxaca (Allou et al, 2018;, que no solo cuentan con las condiciones ambientales adecuadas, sino también con los apoyos estatales para la producción. Las sequías en la zonas cafetaleras del estado de Veracruz impactan en el llenado del grano y provoca que se desarrolle moderadamente (Craparo et al, 2015;Ruiz-García et al, 2021), se ha estimado que en el año 2080 se presentarán disminuciones del orden del 5.5% en la producción anual (Granados- Ramírez et al, 2014), para el año 2020 se pronosticó que en esa entidad federativa se observarían reducciones importantes en la precipitación pluvial anual y disminución en los volúmenes de producción cafetalera (Gay et al, 2006).…”

“…La producción de café en México se caracteriza por su alta vulnerabilidad ante el fenómeno del cambio climático (Ruiz-García et al 2021, Donatti et al 2019. Los factores que caracterizan la vulnerabilidad de los agroecosistemas de café son la poca diversificación de actividades productivas, ubicación geográfica frágil de las zonas productoras, pobreza, marginación, bajos niveles educativos, acceso limitado a servicios públicos y a tecnologías agrícolas (Quiroga et al 2020).…”
