Resiliencia de los sistemas agroecológicos frente al cambio climático en la Comunidad de San Francisco de Cruz Loma, parroquia de Lloa, provincia de Pichincha

The objectives of this research are to characterize the productive agricultural systems of the San Francisco de Cruz Loma community, evaluate the resilience indicators in the agroecological systems of the area using the methodological approaches developed by Alejandro Henao, Miguel Altieri and Clara Nicholls. Three fundamental dimensions were analyzed: farmers' perception of climate change, their vulnerability assessment, and their response and recovery capacity. The analysis of agroecological resilience indicators reveals a general level of high resilience and low vulnerability, with an average of 4.47 out of 5. The best indicators correspond to vegetation cover (5.00) and the use of fertilizers (4.87), which shows the consolidation of these practices, requiring only maintenance and monitoring. However, other indicators present medium vulnerability levels, such as integrated species (3.83), while the irrigation method (2.87) stands out negatively for its high vulnerability.

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to characterize the productive agricultural systems of the San Francisco de Cruz Loma community, evaluate the resilience indicators in the agroecological systems of the area using the methodological approaches developed by Alejandro Henao, Miguel Altieri and Clara Nicholls. Three fundamental dimensions were analyzed: farmers' perception of climate change, their vulnerability assessment, and their response and recovery capacity. The analysis of agroecological resilience indicators reveals a general level of high resilience and low vulnerability, with an average of 4.47 out of 5. The best indicators correspond to vegetation cover (5.00) and the use of fertilizers (4.87), which shows the consolidation of these practices, requiring only maintenance and monitoring. However, other indicators present medium vulnerability levels, such as integrated species (3.83), while the irrigation method (2.87) stands out negatively for its high vulnerability.
