The 151 g/kg DM represents the crude protein content in cowpea hay, being 95.5 g/kg DM higher than pangola grass hay (55.5 g/kg DM) (Corea et al., 2020).
1,000,000 hectares of landscapes will be incorporated into restoration processes in Chile by 2030, with priority given to vulnerable areas (Sánchez Molina, 2020).
In two climate-vulnerable regions of Guatemala, 95 % of farmers perceive climate change; 81 % report production impacts, but only 41 % have adapted—mainly via tree planting (Viguera et al., 2019).
