Sumario:This Pilot Study aims to use a stakeholder-driven, multi-disciplinary methodology to assess the impacts of climate change and adaptation on environmental, social, and economic outcomes in three case studies: sugarcane production in Belize, tomato-peppers production in Trinidad and Tobago, and cassava production in Guyana. The study analyzes data available for each case study and categorizes farms based on their production levels. The adaptation strategies for each case study are based on climate smart practices, improved crop varieties, and integrated pest management. The study intends to provide evidence-based data to support policy decision making and contribute to the development of climate and agricultural development policies.
