Agriculture is highly sensitive to variations in both weather and climate. Farmers face uncertainty the patterns over short term, climate longer term. The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Food Security (CCAFS) has promoted a system of Local Technical Agro-Climatic Committees (LTACs)4 two Colombian regions explore means creating dialogue between researchers farmers that would provide with options short- longer-term article uses case study approach describe how original LTACs were...
How to cope with climate variability and adapt change are key challenges for smallholder farmers globally. In low-income countries, have typically received little, if any locally relevant weather or information. Although services contributed increased availability accessibility of information, this has rarely achieved the desired impacts farmers' decision-making, adaptation resilience change. This been attributed a lack engagement intended users information top-down approach development...
There is a need for new alternative sources of exogenous antifungals to replace those currently used in agriculture. Actinobacteria are gram-positive bacteria with wide variety secondary metabolites, which produce around two-thirds all naturally occurring antibiotics current clinical use, as well many anticancer, anthelmintic and antifungal compounds. Consequently, these great importance agricultural biotechnology, since they can be produced applied fields that do not promote resistance...
Increased interannual climate variability affects agricultural livelihoods throughout the world. In many regions, services support decision-makers in their adaptation efforts. The range of these and number associated information products have increased dramatically recent years. However, relationships between use usability for targeted decision-making rarely been systematically evaluated. Here, we report on development a systematic user-centered approach to assess networks products; apply it...
Climate variability largely affects agriculture in the developing world where rainfed is highly prevalent, and farmers rely on favourable climatic conditions to grow their crops. In Colombia, interannual climate can increase human vulnerabilities. Evidence vulnerability of farming households at local scale is, however, scarce. Here, we assessed its determinants for a representative sample 567 bean growing Santander, Colombia. We first applied Multiple Correspondence Analysis calculate index...
While climate services for small-scale farmers are gaining recognition contributing to adaptation and resilience variability change, their provision in developing countries remains a critical challenge. Effective consider why how of varied socioeconomic background make relevant decisions avoiding the traditional prescriptive forms transfer that merely focus on delivering information. Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa shows agriculture generates transformations access use information, as well...

The growing complexity of the relationship between climate information and agricultural decision-making necessitates development relevant timely services for farmers. These can effectively support risk management strategies in agriculture by fostering a comprehensive understanding intricacies involved farmer dynamics. This paper addresses this critical gap analyzing drivers influencing processes that shape adaptation staple grain coffee farming systems Central America. study answers...
The provision of climate services (CS) has grown at an unprecedented rate over the last decade in response to climate-related risks several sectors global economy; this is especially true agriculture. Several studies document lessons learnt from (un)successful services, and attempt distil these into key principles, recommendations, or requirements. However, limited systematic analysis data on characteristics CS that are conducive success exist date, including for Here, we analyse Local...
This ongoing study delves into the effects of using native language (L1), specifically Spanish, on process learning English as a foreign (EFL) in different academic environments. These include adult learners at UNAD and secondary school students Colombia. research examines students’ perspectives incorporation L1 lessons its impact their outcomes. Through surveys, on-site observations, performance evaluations, explores how strategic integration through codeswitching influences acquisition....
La única vacuna disponible contra la tuberculosis es cepa Mycobacterium bovis BCG, que ofrece una eficacia protectiva variable (0%-80%), siendo urgente un nuevo agente profiláctico. Se han evaluado diversos candidatos a este patógeno, en los modelos animales de experimentación convencionales (murino, cobayo, conejo), obteniéndose información básica sobre el efecto carga bacterial frente reto infeccioso, así como también reducción o prevención patología pulmones u otros órganos blanco; además...
