Summary: Chapter 2 of this compilation adopts an operationally focused approach, with various projects that propose implementing adaptation actions locally and directly in the field. These proposals include proposals to build physical structures and management and production techniques and different types of equipment, although they were not initially proposed as solutions or alternatives in view of the impacts of climate change on agriculture. However, beyond the most intuitive adaptation measures, such as genetic improvement and irrigation, this chapter opens a broader discussion of actions that go from specific local management to actions to be adopted by farmers "within farms", including structural actions that are or may be part of national policies and programs.
