          Abstract

          Abstract Agroforestry plays a crucial role in climate change adaptation and increases resilience to its effects by promoting diverse land-use patterns, sustainable livelihoods and income streams, higher forest and agricultural output, and a reduction in production losses due to weather. Agroforestry had a significant role in reducing farmers' sensitivity to shock. Trees enable reduced susceptibility, greater farming system resilience, and residential protection from climate-related hazards. Subsistence farmers are among those who are most sensitive to current climatic fluctuation. Agroforestry systems offer several advantages to smallholder farmers who are vulnerable to the effects of climate change. These systems may be particularly crucial in rural, agriculturally based economies where there are few other viable sources of income. They can also boost output and financial stability while assisting systems in adjusting to increased climatic variability and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions through sequestration. Increased agricultural production, environmental sustainability, food security, income diversification, specific coping mechanisms, a higher standard of living, and soil and water conservation are some of the major advantages of agroforestry. Many agroforestry systems have the capacity to both lessen and respond to climatic uncertainty. Agroforestry systems, in general, voluntarily include both mitigation and adaptation techniques and provide disadvantaged farmers with a variety of options to guarantee food security while minimizing climate change.

          Resumen La agrosilvicultura desempeña un papel crucial en la adaptación al cambio climático y aumenta la resiliencia a sus efectos promoviendo diversos patrones de uso de la tierra, medios de vida y fuentes de ingresos sostenibles, una mayor producción forestal y agrícola y una reducción de las pérdidas de producción debidas a las condiciones meteorológicas. La agrosilvicultura desempeñó un papel importante en la reducción de la sensibilidad de los agricultores a las perturbaciones. Los árboles permiten reducir la susceptibilidad, aumentar la resiliencia de los sistemas agrícolas y proteger las viviendas de los peligros relacionados con el clima. Los agricultores de subsistencia se encuentran entre los más sensibles a las fluctuaciones climáticas actuales. Los sistemas agroforestales ofrecen varias ventajas a los pequeños agricultores vulnerables a los efectos del cambio climático. Estos sistemas pueden ser especialmente cruciales en las economías rurales de base agrícola, donde hay pocas otras fuentes viables de ingresos. También pueden impulsar la producción y la estabilidad financiera, al tiempo que ayudan a los sistemas a adaptarse a una mayor variabilidad climática y a mitigar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero mediante el secuestro. El aumento de la producción agrícola, la sostenibilidad medioambiental, la seguridad alimentaria, la diversificación de los ingresos, los mecanismos específicos de supervivencia, un mayor nivel de vida y la conservación del suelo y el agua son algunas de las principales ventajas de la agrosilvicultura. Muchos sistemas agroforestales tienen la capacidad tanto de disminuir como de responder a la incertidumbre climática. Los sistemas agroforestales, en general, incluyen voluntariamente técnicas tanto de mitigación como de adaptación y ofrecen a los agricultores desfavorecidos diversas opciones para garantizar la seguridad alimentaria minimizando al mismo tiempo el cambio climático.

          The impact of climate change on smallholder and subsistence agriculture.

          Some of the most important impacts of global climate change will be felt among the populations, predominantly in developing countries, referred to as "subsistence" or "smallholder" farmers. Their vulnerability to climate change comes both from being predominantly located in the tropics, and from various socioeconomic, demographic, and policy trends limiting their capacity to adapt to change. However, these impacts will be difficult to model or predict because of (i) the lack of standardised definitions of these sorts of farming system, and therefore of standard data above the national level, (ii) intrinsic characteristics of these systems, particularly their complexity, their location-specificity, and their integration of agricultural and nonagricultural livelihood strategies, and (iii) their vulnerability to a range of climate-related and other stressors. Some recent work relevant to these farming systems is reviewed, a conceptual framework for understanding the diverse forms of impacts in an integrated manner is proposed, and future research needs are identified.
