Systematic review compiling existing research on the effects of climate change on Andean agriculture. It analyzes climate variables (temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration), induced phenomena (soil erosion, glacier retreat, alterations in crops such as potatoes, quinoa, corn), and the vulnerability of small-scale farmers in the high Andes.

The article reviews successful agroecological experiences in tropical livestock systems in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting cases in Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, and Guadeloupe. It analyzes how integrated practices—such as adapted genetic management, nutrition with local resources, hormone-free reproductive management, and natural parasite control—improve sustainability, resilience, and animal productivity. It includes emblematic studies such as Finca Tosoly (Colombia) and the “Lèt Agogo” program (Haiti), which combine food production, energy, and ecosystem services. The research proposes a framework for transitioning to resilient, multifunctional, low-emission livestock systems based on biodiversity and the circular economy.
