Good practices and lessons learned

Understanding local communities, their languages and most of all their needs was crucial regarding learning during the process, as well as their effort in understanding scientists. More needs to be done in order to reach more farmers and actually influence the adaptation planning process in more depth since now it is being mainly focused in yield losses, planting and water availability as a consequence of the presence of El Niño phenomenon.
