Abstract

Abstract: This article presents the findings of research conducted in a rural community located in Norte de Santander Department, Colombia, on farmers' representations of the impacts of climate change. The analysis of the behavior of temperature and average rainfall in the period 1985-2015 was put together concerning the local knowledge of the farmers. The approach was developed through 56 multiple choice questions surveys done to 144 producers intentionally selected from a group of 1,933 farmers, analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings indicate a broad opinion by farmers of the effects of climate change due to the gradual increase in temperature that causes changes in the bimodal system and intensity of rainfall; reduction in agricultural and livestock production, product quality and quantity; intensification of pest and disease attacks; reduction in water sources and water quality; extinction and migration of species of flora and fauna; and effects on the family’s comfort during work and rest hours, health and hygiene. Likewise, local strategies and the participation of public institutions in the mitigation and adaptation to climate change are evident.

  • Climate change in general poses major threats to food security world-wide and particularly in the Colombian Andes, exposes growers to price risks, and promotes migration to urban areas due to serious challenges related to rising temperatures.

    “Climate change in general poses major threats to food security world-wide and particularly in the Colombian Andes, exposes growers to price risks, and promotes migration to urban areas due to serious challenges related to rising temperatures (Núñez Rodríguez et al. 2021; Lozano-Povis, Alvarez-Montalván, and Moggiano-Aburto 2021).”

  • Alterations in rainfall patterns have also been recorded in the Eastern Colombian Andes, with farmers in a neighboring region, Norte de Santander, reporting negative effects of climate change on agriculture via increased susceptibility to pests and diseases and increased water scarcity, among other problems.

  • Several studies have reported that livelihoods and important crops such as potato, quinoa and maize in Colombia and other Latin-American countries are already considerably affected by rising temperatures resulting in higher evapotranspiration and water scarcity.

    “In fact, several studies have reported that livelihoods and important crops such as potato, quinoa and maize in Colombia and other Latin-American countries are already considerably affected by rising tempera tures resulting in higher evapotranspiration and water scarcity (Lozano-Povis, Alvarez-Montalván, and Moggiano-Aburto 2021; Núñez Rodríguez et al. 2021; Ortega and Zambrano 2020).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
