Análisis de la percepción que ha presentado el cambio climático en los pequeños agricultores de la provincia de Cañar cantón Déleg, en el período 2022

Abstract

Abstract: Climate Change (CC) represents an unprecedented challenge for humanity, especially for agricultural communities that depend on their crops as a source of income and food. The present research work had as objective the analysis of the perception that the CC has presented in the small producers of the Déleg canton, for the period 2022 through a type of mixed investigation. The main objective was to understand how small farmers respond and adapt to this CC phenomenon, which is an increasingly recurring problem that puts the food sovereignty of all Ecuadorians at risk. It was observed that the inhabitants of the Déleg canton have limited resources, where there are low levels of education, with low-paid occupations, and low efficiency in the agricultural production process, either in the use of fertilizers or irrigation systems. . High pollution due to greenhouse gas emissions alters weather patterns and causes economic losses for small producers.
