Farmers and Climate in Peruvian Amazon
11/03/2025
In Peru’s Upper Huallaga basin, 73 structured farmer interviews were integrated with local station and ERA-5 data. A temperature rise of +0.2 °C per decade matched farmers’ perceptions. Increased crop water deficit and surplus volumes suggest more intense sub-daily convective rainfall, helping explain perceived changes in precipitation and wind (Serrano et al., 2025).
