Mecanismo de resiliencia Ayllu frente al efecto del cambio climático mediante diálogo de saberes entre conocimientos locales y tecnologías innovadoras en Micaya, Bolivia

The document details a transdisciplinary project in Micaya, Bolivia, designed to combat the effects of climate change—specifically frosts, droughts, and soil degradation—through a 'dialogue of knowledges' between local ancestral wisdom and scientific technology. The initiative implemented community greenhouses, organic fertilizers, and zeolites to increase vegetable production by approximately 30% and diversify local diets. Health assessments revealed severe nutritional deficiencies, with over 80% of the population lacking vitamin B12 and nearly one-third showing genotoxic damage linked to pesticide exposure. The project argues that climate resilience is most effective when built from the territory through intercultural dialogue and the active participation of women and local authorities.

• Climate change in Micaya has intensified frosts, droughts, and soil degradation, leading to poor diet diversification and severe nutritional deficiencies, specifically vitamin B12 and folate.
• Health evaluations showed that more than 80% of the population suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency and approximately 40% had folate deficiency.
• Approximately one-third of participants exhibited genotoxic damage, which was more prevalent among those exposed to pesticides.
• The adoption of agroecological practices resulted in an approximate 30% increase in vegetable production, which helped diversify the local diet.
