Resumo

La sequía, es un evento climático extremo que genera grandes impactos y pérdidas en la agricultura, provocando el aumento de la inseguridad alimentaria global e insostenibilidad de medios de vida rurales. A partir de esto, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue realizar una revisión sistemática de los estudios empíricos que han reportado la relación entre percepción de riesgo y las estrategias de adaptación de agricultores ante la sequía. Para esto, la revisión siguió los lineamientos y recomendaciones de la declaración PRISMA. Las bases de datos consultadas fueron Web of Science, Scopus y EBSCO. En total, se revisaron 50 estudios empíricos, en español y en inglés, publicados entre los años 2010 y 2021, que cumplían con los criterios de selección. Los resultados destacan la presencia de distintos factores que influyen en la percepción de riesgo (años de experiencia, el nivel de escolaridad, entre otros) y sobre las estrategias de adaptación (tamaño de la finca, sexo, acceso a crédito, etc.). Por último, se identificaron los efectos de la sequía a nivel de cultivos, ganado, personales y ambientales. A modo de conclusión, discutimos sus implicaciones y limitaciones, relevando la ausencia de estudios en la región latinoamericana y en idioma español. Estudios futuros deben hacerse con una perspectiva basada en el lugar, bajo la cual se puedan reconocer saberes, creencias, prácticas y acciones adaptativas. Por otro lado, se deben proponer e implementar políticas y programas de mitigación ante en el cambio climático a escala local.
