This presentation was held at the First International Congress on Agroecology in Nicaragua, organized by the Nicaraguan government's Institute of Agricultural Research (INTA) on Sept. 27 and 28, 2016, in Managua, Nicaragua. The presentation shows data from a field study in Estelí and Condega, in northern Nicaragua. Methods used by farmers in these areas to diversify their cropping systems, and farmers' perceptions of their agricultural systems' resilience to climate change, are discussed.
