En la presente investigación se muestra mediante el uso del conjunto de proyecciones climáticas de reducción de escala estadística pertenecientes al NEX-GDDP, los cambios a largo plazo en precipitación y temperatura que ocurrirían en América Central y el Caribe a finales del siglo XXI, esto a través del cálculo de las diferencias de los ensambles de los multi-modelos de los dos escenarios correspondientes a las rutas de concentración representativas (RCP 4.5 y RCP 8.5) con un período de 2070-2099 menos el escenario histórico que abarca de 1970-1999. Vislumbrando como un acelerado aumento en las concentraciones de gases de efecto invernadero debido a la dependencia del uso excesivo de combustibles fósiles, traería consigo cambios en esta región, tales como condiciones más secas en países como Guatemala, Belice, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua y Costa Rica, y de manera contraria condiciones más húmedas en la costa Pacífica de países como Colombia, Ecuador y Perú. The long-term changes in precipitation and temperature that will occur in Central America and the Caribbean at the end of the 21st century are shown using the NEX-GDDP statistical downscaled projections. We used this high resolution dataset to compute the differences between the multi-model ensembles of the two prospective scenarios corresponding to the representative concentration pathways (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) with a period of 2070-2099 and the retrospective baseline scenario covering 1970-1999. Looking at how accelerated and unprecedented increases in concentrations of greenhouse gases will bring about changes in this region, such as drier conditions in countries like Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and in the other hand wetter conditions in the Pacific coast of countries like Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

El presente trabajo muestra los cambios proyectados del clima para los próximos 80 años en el Sistema Ártico, en referencia a las variables de temperatura y precipitación. Esto haciendo uso del conjunto de datos de alta resolución NEX-GDDP, con el cual se realizaron las diferencias de los ensambles de los multi-modelos de los dos escenarios prospectivos RCP 4.5 y RCP 8.5 menos el periodo retrospectivo. Dando de esta forma una idea clara de la importancia que tiene el Sistema Ártico en el equilibrio terrestre, debido a que se muestran los posibles impactos futuros que tienen las concentraciones de gases de efecto invernadero sobre este sistema y sus afectaciones directas en la distribución de la precipitación y la temperatura con implicaciones en los procesos de escala global a escalas regionales y locales. The projected changes in temperature and precipitation, for the next 80 years in the Arctic System, are shown. We used the NEX-GDDP high resolution dataset to compute the differences between the multi-model ensembles of the two prospective scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) and the retrospective baseline scenario. This study highlighted the Arctic System as a key element in the terrestrial balance, as future greenhouse gas concentrations will have great impacts in the distribution of temperature and precipitation in the Arctic System, with implications of processes at the global scale to regional and local ones.

The increase in the world buffalo population has been accompanied by an improvement in the milk yield per lactation and this could be causing negative consequences for health and reproductive efficiency, although there are still few studies about this relationship. Higher milk yield without the corresponding increase in the dry matter and energy intake can intensify the NEB, increasing weight and body condition loss, and this implies a decrease in glucose, insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels and the increases of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). This scenario may imply a greater susceptibility to diseases such as placental retention, endometritis, metritis and mastitis, as well as a longer period of anestrus, lower fertility and the lengthening of the interval to conception. To solve this situation, it is necessary to guarantee a good body condition at calving, and a high dry matter intake that allows reducing weight loss and body condition and different management, feeding and genetic alternatives are proposed.

La información por parte de los organismos públicos en el ámbito de la responsabilidad social (rs) es necesaria para legitimar sus actuaciones y dar a conocer a sus grupos de interés cómo están respondiendo a sus demandas. Las páginas web son en este mundo globalizado e informatizado un medio de comunicación adecuado y accesible. En este contexto, el objetivo del trabajo es analizar la información relacionada con la responsabilidad social que proporcionan los gobiernos locales europeos en sus páginas web y, en concreto, estudiar las corporaciones de las principales ciudades de los países nórdicos. Además se analizará si se pueden observar algunas pautas de comportamiento similares aplicando el análisis de conglomerados. Los resultados obtenidos permiten conocer el nivel de divulgación que estos países dan a la información relacionada con su comportamiento socialmente responsable y cuáles son los principales temas a los que prestan mayor atención. Public agencies should inform about their behavior in the space of the social responsibility not only to legitimate their existence but also to inform their stakeholders how they are responding to their demands. Web sites are a communication medium appropriate and accessible in this globalized and computerized world. In this context, the object of this investigation is to analyze the information related with the social responsibility that European town councils provide in their web pages, particularly of the main Nordic countries town councils. In addition, it will be analyzed if we can observe some similar guidelines of behavior applying the analysis cluster. The obtained results will allow to know the treatment that these countries give to the information related to socially responsible behavior and what are the main variables they are more responsive to. Estudio llevado a cabo con la ayuda de un proyecto de investigación financiado por la Junta de Andalucía (Ref. P09-SEJ-5395) y la de dos proyectos del Plan Nacional de Investigación (nos. ECO2010- 17463-ECON y ECO2010-20522-ECON).

Esta fue la pregunta que motivó el presente estudio. Se analizaron los conglomerados de 39 fincas de Puriscal, Costa Rica, para establecer una tipología en función de trece variables. Se definieron tres tipos de fincas: de tecnología orgánica (TO), de tecnología mixta (TM) y de tecnología convencional (TC). En cada conglomerado se construyó una finca hipotética para analizarla como estudio de caso. En cada caso se realizó un análisis económico para determinar indicadores financieros y beneficio familiar en el corto plazo; además, se determinó la productividad energética. Los más altos beneficios financieros en el corto plazo se obtuvieron en el modelo TC, comparados con los sistemas TO y TM. Sin embargo, desde el punto de vista de la productividad energética, el modelo de caficultura orgánica presenta una mejor eficiencia, en la medida en que para producir un kilogramo (kg) de café en cereza se invirtieron 0,51 MJ/ kg, lo que representa la mitad de la energía requerida para producir el mismo kilogramo en los modelos TC (1,06 MJ/kg) y TM (0,97 MJ/kg). El estudio debe complementarse con seguimientos en el largo plazo. How do peasant coffee growing farms differ depending on socioeconomic variables and on resource management? That is precisely the question that motivated this study. The conglomerates of 39 farms in Puriscal, Costa Rica were analyzed, to establish a typology using thirteen variables. Three types of farms were defined: farms with organic technology (OT), farms with mixed technology (MT), and farms with conventional technology (CT). In each conglomerate, a hypothetical farm was built, to be analyzed as a case study. For each of these case studies, an economic analysis was made to determine short-term financial indicators and short-term family benefits; in addition, energy productivity was determined. The highest short-term financial benefits were obtained in the CT model as compared to those obtained in the OT and MT systems. However, for energy productivity, the organic coffee growing model presented more efficiency. Indeed, 0.51 MJ/kg was invested to produce one kilogram (kg) of coffee beans there; that represents half of the energy required to produce the same kilogram of coffee beans in the CT model (1.06 MJ/kg) and in the MT model (0.97 MJ/kg). This study requires long-term tracking complementation.

El conocimiento de la radiación solar directa y difusa es de importancia fundamental en la valoración del potencial energético de Costa Rica, por lo que este trabajo está enfocado en el cálculo y en el trazado de mapas de contornos de la radiación solar directa y difusa basados en sesenta y dos estaciones radiométricas esparcidas en todo el territorio nacional. En el trazado de estos contornos se utilizaron valores experimentales y predichos de la radiación directa y difusa. Adicionalmente, se comparan la radiación solar directa y difusa durante la época seca y la época lluviosa en las seis regiones climáticas del país: Valle Central, Pacífico Norte, Pacífico Central, Pacífico Sur, Zona Norte y Vertiente del Caribe. Los niveles medios diarios observados de radiación directa oscilan entre 6.1 y 10.1 MJ/m2, con valores más altos en las secciones norte de la Vertiente del Pacífico, al oeste del Valle Central y en las cimas de las montañas más altas. Los valores más bajos coinciden con la Zona Norte y la Vertiente del Caribe. Los valores más altos de radiación difusa coinciden con la Zona Norte y el Pacífico Sur. Se observa un incremento de la radiación solar directa hasta de un 40% en los meses de la época seca. Knowledge of direct and diffuse solar radiation in the area is vital importance for the use of solar energy, since it is a prerequesite information for the assessment and design of solar energy system. The work presented here focus on calculation and plotting of contours values of direct and diffuse solar radiation maps based on sixty two scattered radiometric stations nation wide. In the plotting of these contours experimental and predicted values are used, these are compared with the period of dry and rainy season into the six main climate regions of Costa Rica: Central Valley, North Pacific, Central Pacific, South Pacific, North Zone and Caribbean Region. The observed daily mean levels of direct solar radiation oscillate between 6.1 and 10.1 MJ/m2 with higher values in the North Pacific, western part of the Central Valley and in the tops of the highest mountains. The lowest values agree with the North Zone and the Caribbean Region. The highest values of diffuse solar radiation agree with the North Zone and the South Pacific. It is observed an increase of 40% of the direct radiation during dry season months. Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica Departamento de Física

A 25% (m/m) of palm (Elaeis guineensis), castor (Ricinus communis), jatropha (Jatropha curcas) and 10% algae (Undaria pinatifida) oils, 450 ° C and 5 min of reaction time were utilize and the products were compared with the standards used by RECOPE. The replacement of 25% m/m by vegetable oil, increases by 6,1% the fraction of total diesel oil, improves the cetane index, decreases viscosity the amount of aromatic material and the amount of sulphur respect to 100% bunker The use of fluidized bed reactors or hydrogen mix for increase the saturated products are recommended for future research. Mediante el empleo de un reactor de alta presión y alta temperatura, se simulan las condiciones de viscorreducción con el objetivo de producir combustibles verdes, sustituyendo una fracción de aceite combustible #6 por aceites vegetales. En una primera fase del proceso se establecen las condiciones de operación y se caracteriza la materia prima. Se utiliza un 25% (m/m) de sustitución con aceite vegetal de palma (Elaeis guineensis), castor (Ricinus communis), jatrofa (Jatropha curcas) y en otro caso de 10% de alga (Undaria pinatifida), 450 °C y 5 min como tiempo de reacción. Los productos obtenidos se compararon con los estándares utilizados en la Refinería Costarricense de Petróleo (RECOPE). Dentro de los resultados más importantes se encuentra que la sustitución de un 25% m/m de aceite vegetal aumenta en un 6,1% la fracción de diesel total y gasóleo, mejora el índice de cetano, disminuye la viscosidad, la cantidad de material aromático, y la cantidad de azufre con respecto al blanco de 100% búnker. Reactores de lecho fluidizado o sustitución con hidrógeno se recomiendan para lograr un mayor grado de saturación en futuras investigaciones.

Para ello, se realizó un análisis estadístico de información meteorológica proveniente de dos estaciones locales (tanto de datos en bruto como de datos rellenados), un análisis de reducción de escala y un análisis del Índice de Precipitación Estandarizada para la zona de estudio, con el fin de determinar si hay o no presencia de cambio climático o de variabilidad climática. Se obtuvo, que existe una variación normal de las variables meteorológicas en la zona de estudio. Además, se concluye que la crisis socioeconómica que vive el cantón no es atribuible al cambio climático. Se sugiere que se desarrollen estrategias de adaptación ante futuros eventos extremos y que se generen procesos de política pública top-down en los cuales se puedan articular todos los actores interesados para diseñar mejores estrategias de desarrollo y elevar la calidad de vida del cantón a partir del fortalecimiento de su principal actividad económica a saber: el cultivo del café. This research seeks to determinate if climate change is the main cause of the socio-economic crisis in Coto brus, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, since the negative effects in coffee crops in 2010 due to the tropical storm nicole and hurricane Thomas. An statistical analysis of meteorological stations data, a downscaling process and an Standardized Precipitation Index analysis was developed for the zone of interest with the purpose of determinate if there is the presence of climate change or climate variability in Coto brus. There is a normal behavior in the meteorological variables in the zone of interest. As a conclusion, climate change is not the main cause of the socio-economic crisis of Coto brus. We suggest the development of adaptation strategies for possible future extreme events and also the creation of development programs and top-down public policies due to increase the quality of life of the zone by reinforcing their principal economic activity: the agriculture of coffee crops.

En la presente investigación se muestra mediante el uso del conjunto de proyecciones climáticas de reducción de escala estadística pertenecientes al NEX-GDDP, los cambios a largo plazo en precipitación y temperatura que ocurrirían en América Central y el Caribe a finales del siglo XXI, esto a través del cálculo de las diferencias de los ensambles de los multi-modelos de los dos escenarios correspondientes a las rutas de concentración representativas (RCP 4.5 y RCP 8.5) con un período de 2070-2099 menos el escenario histórico que abarca de 1970-1999. Vislumbrando como un acelerado aumento en las concentraciones de gases de efecto invernadero debido a la dependencia del uso excesivo de combustibles fósiles, traería consigo cambios en esta región, tales como condiciones más secas en países como Guatemala, Belice, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua y Costa Rica, y de manera contraria condiciones más húmedas en la costa Pacífica de países como Colombia, Ecuador y Perú. The long-term changes in precipitation and temperature that will occur in Central America and the Caribbean at the end of the 21st century are shown using the NEX-GDDP statistical downscaled projections. We used this high resolution dataset to compute the differences between the multi-model ensembles of the two prospective scenarios corresponding to the representative concentration pathways (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) with a period of 2070-2099 and the retrospective baseline scenario covering 1970-1999. Looking at how accelerated and unprecedented increases in concentrations of greenhouse gases will bring about changes in this region, such as drier conditions in countries like Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and in the other hand wetter conditions in the Pacific coast of countries like Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

El presente trabajo muestra los cambios proyectados del clima para los próximos 80 años en el Sistema Ártico, en referencia a las variables de temperatura y precipitación. Esto haciendo uso del conjunto de datos de alta resolución NEX-GDDP, con el cual se realizaron las diferencias de los ensambles de los multi-modelos de los dos escenarios prospectivos RCP 4.5 y RCP 8.5 menos el periodo retrospectivo. Dando de esta forma una idea clara de la importancia que tiene el Sistema Ártico en el equilibrio terrestre, debido a que se muestran los posibles impactos futuros que tienen las concentraciones de gases de efecto invernadero sobre este sistema y sus afectaciones directas en la distribución de la precipitación y la temperatura con implicaciones en los procesos de escala global a escalas regionales y locales. The projected changes in temperature and precipitation, for the next 80 years in the Arctic System, are shown. We used the NEX-GDDP high resolution dataset to compute the differences between the multi-model ensembles of the two prospective scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) and the retrospective baseline scenario. This study highlighted the Arctic System as a key element in the terrestrial balance, as future greenhouse gas concentrations will have great impacts in the distribution of temperature and precipitation in the Arctic System, with implications of processes at the global scale to regional and local ones.

The increase in the world buffalo population has been accompanied by an improvement in the milk yield per lactation and this could be causing negative consequences for health and reproductive efficiency, although there are still few studies about this relationship. Higher milk yield without the corresponding increase in the dry matter and energy intake can intensify the NEB, increasing weight and body condition loss, and this implies a decrease in glucose, insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels and the increases of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). This scenario may imply a greater susceptibility to diseases such as placental retention, endometritis, metritis and mastitis, as well as a longer period of anestrus, lower fertility and the lengthening of the interval to conception. To solve this situation, it is necessary to guarantee a good body condition at calving, and a high dry matter intake that allows reducing weight loss and body condition and different management, feeding and genetic alternatives are proposed.

La información por parte de los organismos públicos en el ámbito de la responsabilidad social (rs) es necesaria para legitimar sus actuaciones y dar a conocer a sus grupos de interés cómo están respondiendo a sus demandas. Las páginas web son en este mundo globalizado e informatizado un medio de comunicación adecuado y accesible. En este contexto, el objetivo del trabajo es analizar la información relacionada con la responsabilidad social que proporcionan los gobiernos locales europeos en sus páginas web y, en concreto, estudiar las corporaciones de las principales ciudades de los países nórdicos. Además se analizará si se pueden observar algunas pautas de comportamiento similares aplicando el análisis de conglomerados. Los resultados obtenidos permiten conocer el nivel de divulgación que estos países dan a la información relacionada con su comportamiento socialmente responsable y cuáles son los principales temas a los que prestan mayor atención. Public agencies should inform about their behavior in the space of the social responsibility not only to legitimate their existence but also to inform their stakeholders how they are responding to their demands. Web sites are a communication medium appropriate and accessible in this globalized and computerized world. In this context, the object of this investigation is to analyze the information related with the social responsibility that European town councils provide in their web pages, particularly of the main Nordic countries town councils. In addition, it will be analyzed if we can observe some similar guidelines of behavior applying the analysis cluster. The obtained results will allow to know the treatment that these countries give to the information related to socially responsible behavior and what are the main variables they are more responsive to. Estudio llevado a cabo con la ayuda de un proyecto de investigación financiado por la Junta de Andalucía (Ref. P09-SEJ-5395) y la de dos proyectos del Plan Nacional de Investigación (nos. ECO2010- 17463-ECON y ECO2010-20522-ECON).

Esta fue la pregunta que motivó el presente estudio. Se analizaron los conglomerados de 39 fincas de Puriscal, Costa Rica, para establecer una tipología en función de trece variables. Se definieron tres tipos de fincas: de tecnología orgánica (TO), de tecnología mixta (TM) y de tecnología convencional (TC). En cada conglomerado se construyó una finca hipotética para analizarla como estudio de caso. En cada caso se realizó un análisis económico para determinar indicadores financieros y beneficio familiar en el corto plazo; además, se determinó la productividad energética. Los más altos beneficios financieros en el corto plazo se obtuvieron en el modelo TC, comparados con los sistemas TO y TM. Sin embargo, desde el punto de vista de la productividad energética, el modelo de caficultura orgánica presenta una mejor eficiencia, en la medida en que para producir un kilogramo (kg) de café en cereza se invirtieron 0,51 MJ/ kg, lo que representa la mitad de la energía requerida para producir el mismo kilogramo en los modelos TC (1,06 MJ/kg) y TM (0,97 MJ/kg). El estudio debe complementarse con seguimientos en el largo plazo. How do peasant coffee growing farms differ depending on socioeconomic variables and on resource management? That is precisely the question that motivated this study. The conglomerates of 39 farms in Puriscal, Costa Rica were analyzed, to establish a typology using thirteen variables. Three types of farms were defined: farms with organic technology (OT), farms with mixed technology (MT), and farms with conventional technology (CT). In each conglomerate, a hypothetical farm was built, to be analyzed as a case study. For each of these case studies, an economic analysis was made to determine short-term financial indicators and short-term family benefits; in addition, energy productivity was determined. The highest short-term financial benefits were obtained in the CT model as compared to those obtained in the OT and MT systems. However, for energy productivity, the organic coffee growing model presented more efficiency. Indeed, 0.51 MJ/kg was invested to produce one kilogram (kg) of coffee beans there; that represents half of the energy required to produce the same kilogram of coffee beans in the CT model (1.06 MJ/kg) and in the MT model (0.97 MJ/kg). This study requires long-term tracking complementation.

El conocimiento de la radiación solar directa y difusa es de importancia fundamental en la valoración del potencial energético de Costa Rica, por lo que este trabajo está enfocado en el cálculo y en el trazado de mapas de contornos de la radiación solar directa y difusa basados en sesenta y dos estaciones radiométricas esparcidas en todo el territorio nacional. En el trazado de estos contornos se utilizaron valores experimentales y predichos de la radiación directa y difusa. Adicionalmente, se comparan la radiación solar directa y difusa durante la época seca y la época lluviosa en las seis regiones climáticas del país: Valle Central, Pacífico Norte, Pacífico Central, Pacífico Sur, Zona Norte y Vertiente del Caribe. Los niveles medios diarios observados de radiación directa oscilan entre 6.1 y 10.1 MJ/m2, con valores más altos en las secciones norte de la Vertiente del Pacífico, al oeste del Valle Central y en las cimas de las montañas más altas. Los valores más bajos coinciden con la Zona Norte y la Vertiente del Caribe. Los valores más altos de radiación difusa coinciden con la Zona Norte y el Pacífico Sur. Se observa un incremento de la radiación solar directa hasta de un 40% en los meses de la época seca. Knowledge of direct and diffuse solar radiation in the area is vital importance for the use of solar energy, since it is a prerequesite information for the assessment and design of solar energy system. The work presented here focus on calculation and plotting of contours values of direct and diffuse solar radiation maps based on sixty two scattered radiometric stations nation wide. In the plotting of these contours experimental and predicted values are used, these are compared with the period of dry and rainy season into the six main climate regions of Costa Rica: Central Valley, North Pacific, Central Pacific, South Pacific, North Zone and Caribbean Region. The observed daily mean levels of direct solar radiation oscillate between 6.1 and 10.1 MJ/m2 with higher values in the North Pacific, western part of the Central Valley and in the tops of the highest mountains. The lowest values agree with the North Zone and the Caribbean Region. The highest values of diffuse solar radiation agree with the North Zone and the South Pacific. It is observed an increase of 40% of the direct radiation during dry season months. Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica Departamento de Física

A 25% (m/m) of palm (Elaeis guineensis), castor (Ricinus communis), jatropha (Jatropha curcas) and 10% algae (Undaria pinatifida) oils, 450 ° C and 5 min of reaction time were utilize and the products were compared with the standards used by RECOPE. The replacement of 25% m/m by vegetable oil, increases by 6,1% the fraction of total diesel oil, improves the cetane index, decreases viscosity the amount of aromatic material and the amount of sulphur respect to 100% bunker The use of fluidized bed reactors or hydrogen mix for increase the saturated products are recommended for future research. Mediante el empleo de un reactor de alta presión y alta temperatura, se simulan las condiciones de viscorreducción con el objetivo de producir combustibles verdes, sustituyendo una fracción de aceite combustible #6 por aceites vegetales. En una primera fase del proceso se establecen las condiciones de operación y se caracteriza la materia prima. Se utiliza un 25% (m/m) de sustitución con aceite vegetal de palma (Elaeis guineensis), castor (Ricinus communis), jatrofa (Jatropha curcas) y en otro caso de 10% de alga (Undaria pinatifida), 450 °C y 5 min como tiempo de reacción. Los productos obtenidos se compararon con los estándares utilizados en la Refinería Costarricense de Petróleo (RECOPE). Dentro de los resultados más importantes se encuentra que la sustitución de un 25% m/m de aceite vegetal aumenta en un 6,1% la fracción de diesel total y gasóleo, mejora el índice de cetano, disminuye la viscosidad, la cantidad de material aromático, y la cantidad de azufre con respecto al blanco de 100% búnker. Reactores de lecho fluidizado o sustitución con hidrógeno se recomiendan para lograr un mayor grado de saturación en futuras investigaciones.

Para ello, se realizó un análisis estadístico de información meteorológica proveniente de dos estaciones locales (tanto de datos en bruto como de datos rellenados), un análisis de reducción de escala y un análisis del Índice de Precipitación Estandarizada para la zona de estudio, con el fin de determinar si hay o no presencia de cambio climático o de variabilidad climática. Se obtuvo, que existe una variación normal de las variables meteorológicas en la zona de estudio. Además, se concluye que la crisis socioeconómica que vive el cantón no es atribuible al cambio climático. Se sugiere que se desarrollen estrategias de adaptación ante futuros eventos extremos y que se generen procesos de política pública top-down en los cuales se puedan articular todos los actores interesados para diseñar mejores estrategias de desarrollo y elevar la calidad de vida del cantón a partir del fortalecimiento de su principal actividad económica a saber: el cultivo del café. This research seeks to determinate if climate change is the main cause of the socio-economic crisis in Coto brus, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, since the negative effects in coffee crops in 2010 due to the tropical storm nicole and hurricane Thomas. An statistical analysis of meteorological stations data, a downscaling process and an Standardized Precipitation Index analysis was developed for the zone of interest with the purpose of determinate if there is the presence of climate change or climate variability in Coto brus. There is a normal behavior in the meteorological variables in the zone of interest. As a conclusion, climate change is not the main cause of the socio-economic crisis of Coto brus. We suggest the development of adaptation strategies for possible future extreme events and also the creation of development programs and top-down public policies due to increase the quality of life of the zone by reinforcing their principal economic activity: the agriculture of coffee crops.
