Colombian agriculture under multiple exposures: a review and research agenda

Feola, G., Agudelo Vanegas, L. A. and Contesse Bamon, B. P. (2015) Colombian agriculture under multiple exposures: a review and research agenda. Climate and Development, 7 (3). pp. 278-292. ISSN 1756-5537 doi: 10.1080/17565529.2014.934776

Abstract/Summary

We adopt the multiple exposures framework to review the existing literature on the impacts of climate change, trade liberalization, and violent conflict on Colombian agriculture. These stressors act simultaneously but policies address them separately, overlooking the root causes of vulnerability. We find that the expected impacts of the single stressors have been relatively well documented, but that limited research has been dedicated to the observed effects of these three stressors and to their interactions. We propose a research agenda in three themes: trade-offs; social mechanisms; and governance. This agenda can inform not only agricultural adaptation but also debate on the alternative agricultural development models.
