Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetKuxur rum agroforestry system against natural hazards in Guatemala 2017
Also available in:
The rural population in Guatemala’s eastern Dry Corridor – an area with the highest population density and rates of absolute poverty – is extremely vulnerable to food insecurity. The Ch’ortí region in particular struggles with erratic rains, water constraints and low yields of traditional grain crops. Crops are grown on dry slopes about 600 to 1 000 metres above sea level, and the soils are shallow, steep and stony. The intensive cultivation of corn, beans and sorghum has degraded the land, maki ng it increasingly less suitable for agriculture. Against this backdrop, a practice known as Kuxur rum – a set of soil, crop and forestry management technologies – is being used in Ch’ortí region to build people’s resilience to natural hazards. -

No results found.Muchos estudios y experiencias de campo de la FAO y sus socios han demostrado el impacto positivo de los sistemas agroforestales y en algunos países ya se están implementando programas gubernamentales que incentivan la implementación sistemas forestales y agroforestales como medida para aumentar la diversificación de la producción agrícola, reducir la degradación del suelo y el riesgo de desastres. El objetivo principal de esta publicación es aumentar la conciencia y el conocimiento de las autoridades y la sociedad civil sobre las buenas prácticas agroforestales, climáticamente inteligentes, con el fin de influir en las políticas regionales, nacionales y locales, y crear condiciones que promuevan la aplicación de estos sistemas y tecnologías a una escala mayor. -
