Viaje a lo "alocrónico": La ruralidad canaria, un todo-incluido que nos excluye |

| Resumen: |
A este artículo, además de texto, le gustaría ser algo así como un reclamo, una oferta que pudiera convertirse en un "viaje" a un presente que fue (y es todavía) constantemente "alejado" hacia el pasado. ÐAnímese a visitar lo alocrónico! Si me acompaña, más allá del necesario trago amargo de su problematización sociológica -del ejercicio de construccion/invencion de las medianias o zonas rurales de las Islas Canarias-, tendrá todo el campo a sus pies, convivirá con sus moradores, los magos, experimentará el lugar fundamental que ocupan en la industria cultural del archipiélago. ÐVisítelo! ÐEs una experiencia única! ÐY despreocúpese! Sus coordenadas lo vinculan a la expansión del moderno sistema-mundial desde el siglo XV hasta nuestros días, tiempo suficiente para que las narrativas de la modernidad/colonialidad hayan contribuido a modelar su imagen y semblanza, fundando las "distinciones" y "distancias" que todavía lo envuelven en ese carácter bucólico y exótico. Transitar sus místicas geografías Ðserá como andar por casa! |

| Resumen: |
Rural households in developing countries depend on crops, forest extraction and other income sources for their livelihoods, but these livelihood contributions are sensitive to climate change. Combining socioeconomic data from about 8,000 smallholder households across the tropics with gridded precipitation and temperature data, we find that households have the highest crop income at 21 degrees Celsius temperature and 2,000 mm precipitation. Forest incomes increase on both sides of this agricultural maximum. We further find indications that crop income declines in response to weather shocks while forest income increases, suggesting that households may cope by reallocating inputs from agriculture to forests. Forest production may thus be less sensitive than crop production to climatic fluctuations, gaining comparative advantage in extreme climates and under weather anomalies. This suggests that well-managed forests might help poor rural households to cope with and adapt to future climate change. |

| Resumen: |
Understanding the extent to which agriculture can adapt to climate change and the determinants of farmers’ adaptive capacity are of paramount importance from a policy perspective. Based on household survey data from a large sample in rural China, the present article adopts a panel approach to estimate the potential benefits of long-run adaptation and to identify the determinants of farmers’ adaptive capacity. The empirical results suggest that, for various model settings and climate change scenarios, long-run adaptations should mitigate one-third to one-half of the damages of warming on crop profits by the end of this century. These findings support the basic argument of the hedonic approach that omitting long-run adaptations will dramatically overestimate the potential damage of climate change. The paper also finds that household-level capital intensity and farmland size have significant effects on farmers’ adaptive capacities. |

Impacts of off-farm employment on groundwater irrigation in North China |

| Resumen: |
This study examines the relationship between groundwater irrigation and off-farm employment with a set of household level data collected in North China. The results provide evidence that off-farm employment reduces both time spent on irrigation in terms of total hours of irrigation and the amount of groundwater pumped. However, these effects have not resulted in losses of crop production. In fact, water productivity measured as output value produced per m3 of groundwater pumped is higher among households with off-farm employment. These seemingly contradictory findings are explained by the increased use of water-saving technologies such as furrow irrigation, underground pipes and/or lined canals. These technologies reduce seepage losses during the conveyance of groundwater as well as during irrigation of the fields. As a result, less groundwater needs to be pumped to achieve the same level of groundwater irrigation application rate in the field. |

| Resumen: |
We investigate households’ decisions regarding livelihood activities in response to future climate change in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. We use the contingent behavior method and account for unobserved heterogeneity in order to overcome problems associated with limited data, collinearity and endogeneity. We characterize the climate change with two types of climate change scenarios: dry-spells and wet-spells. Results show that moderate and extreme increases in dry-spells increase adoption of off-farm activities such as casual labor and small business, and decrease adoption of on-farm activities such as gardening. We find opposite cases for mild or moderate wet-spells. Our results also show that households tend to diversify their livelihood portfolios in response to a moderate increase in dry-spells and a mild increase in wet-spells. Some household characteristics are also important in influencing some types of activities, including household’s health status, gender of the household head, and household’s prior experience. |
