The evolution of the timber sector in lowland Bolivia: examining the influence of three disparate policy approaches por Pacheco, P., Jong, W. de, Johnson, J.

“…From the mid-1990s, innovative policies were implemented to promote sustainable forest management, enhance the collection of forest royalties, improve the sector access to international timber markets, and include a wide range of social actors in the forest sector.

Anthro-apology? negotiating space for interdisciplinary collaboration and in-depth anthropology in the CGIAR por Verma, R., Russell, D., German, L.

“…Putting interdisciplinarity into action requires a more distilled and nuanced approach involving negotiation, bargaining and, sometimes, contestation and resistance between and among different domains of disciplinary actors, knowledge, meanings and understanding. The overarching goal for anthropologists and sociocultural scientists is to integrate theories, methodologies, and practices of the study of culture, politics, and social relations into agricultural and natural resource management research, as well as to integrate themselves into larger interdisciplinary teams on an equal footing. …”

Estatus de la gestión de riesgos climáticos en el sector agroalimentario y su importancia para la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en Honduras por Vásquez, M.R., Loboguerrero Rodriguez, Ana María, Martínez Barón, Deissy, Boa, María, Moncada JL

“…Honduras ha sido identificado como el país con mayor vulnerabilidad en términos de riesgo, variabilidad y cambio climático de Centroamérica; es por esto que la Secretaría de Agricultura y Ganadería (SAG) en colaboración con el Programa de Investigación de CGIAR en Cambio Climático, Agricultura y Seguridad Alimentaria (CCAFS) en América Latina y con apoyo del Consejo Agropecuario Centroamericano (CAC) presentan el estatus de la investigación en cambio climático, agricultura y seguridad alimentaria, así como el marco gubernamental y actores involucrados en torno a esta temática. El documento evidencia que el país cuenta con una estructura legal e institucional que promueve políticas y acciones orientadas a contrarrestar los efectos negativos de éste fenómeno, colaborando continuamente con organizaciones internacionales, academia y sector privado, sin embargo se mantiene en continuo proceso de desarrollo y mejora para incrementar la resiliencia y adaptación al cambio climático así como la mitigación del sector agrícola hondureño.…”

National adaptation policy adopted in Nicaragua and resulting investments in coffee and cocoa sector por CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

“…CIAT’s research showed that coffee production is highly sensitive to climate change and that by 2050 coffee growing areas will move approximately 300 meters up the altitudinal gradient and push farmers at lower altitudes out of coffee production, increase pressure on forests and natural resources in higher altitudes and jeopardize the actors along the coffee supply chain. For cocoa the picture is not as dramatic as coffee but shifts in production areas are also likely to happen by 2050. …”
