Agricultural production in the municipalities of Anzaldo and Acasio requires greater attention from farmers to combat droughts, hailstorms, and attacks by pests and diseases, increasingly intense due to the effect of climate change.

In this context, the Project "Resilient Production, Marketing and Consumption of Cañahua and Tarwi" funded by Euroclima+ of the European Union, has been spreading Best Resilient Agricultural Practices, with the aim of improving the production conditions of Tarwi cultivation and making local agricultural production systems more resilient. In this context, a socio-drama was prepared with the aim of raising awareness among farmers and local authorities about the effects of Climate Change on Agriculture.

                                                                      Farmers from the Mollini Centro community participate in a Sociodrama

Testimonies

" After having seen the sociodrama, we recognise that agricultural production in our communities is not easy and even more so when drought, hailstorms and pest and disease attacks have increased... The sociodrama fully shows us what's going on with our production..." Primitivo Pardo, farmer of the Mollini Centro – Anzaldo community.

"In the sociodrama, we have seen the difficulties that are arising at this time for agriculture... I'm very happy to learn..." Martha Virreira, farmer of the Taracucho – Anzaldo community.

"The sociodrama, shows the reality of agriculture in our communities... many of us do not properly manage our crops and are expecting good harvests... that is why we must have the capacity to respond to the attacks of climate change" Basilio Meneces, farmer of the community of Mollini Centro – Anzaldo.
