| description | The perception of the people on climate change is important, as well as to identify if adaptation practices at the local level have been carried out. Studying environmental perception assumes the relationship between an organism and environmental variables. An analysis of variance and statistical correlation can be used to find general relationships. The triangulation method of meteorological data and surveys were used for this study. In León, Guanajuato, the majority perception of peri-urban and rural farmers is that there has been an increase in temperature, which coincides with that reported by local meteorological systems, indicating that the maximum temperature in the last thirty years (1961-2009) increased 0,092 °C per year. Given this change in temperature, farmers have used adaptation strategies as shifting cultivation, use of native seeds and incorporation of organic matter to the soil, which agrees with that reported in recent literature. However, agriculture is in a difficult moment because of its loss of profitability; in the case of the peri-urban, the real growth of the city makes obstructs the agricultural production specially when competing for space. However, the extra income from a plot subsidizes the agricultural production, in most cases without an effective return. |

Environmental Perception climate change adaptation peri-urban farmers The perception of the people on climate change is important, as well as to identify if adaptation practices at the local level have been carried out. Studying environmental perception assumes the relationship between an organism and environmental variables. An analysis of variance and statistical correlation can be used to find general relationships. The triangulation method of meteorological data and surveys were used for this study. In León, Guanajuato, the majority perception of peri-urban and rural farmers is that there has been an increase in temperature, which coincides with that reported by local meteorological systems, indicating that the maximum temperature in the last thirty years (1961-2009) increased 0,092 °C per year.

La percepción de los pobladores sobre el cambio climático es importante así como identificar si han realizado prácticas de adaptación a nivel local. Estudiar la percepción ambiental asume la relación entre un organismo y las variables ambientales. Para encontrar relaciones generales se puede contar con el apoyo de análisis de varianza y correlación estadística. Para este trabajo se empleó la triangulación de datos meteorológicos y encuestas. En el caso de la ciudad de León, Gto., la percepción mayoritaria de los agricultores periurbanos y rurales es que ha habido un aumento de la temperatura, lo que coincide con los reportados por los sistemas metereológicos locales que indican que la máxima temperatura en los últimos treinta años (1961-2009) se incrementó 0,092 °C por año. Ante este cambio en la temperatura los agricultores han realizado estrategias de adaptación como cambio de cultivos, uso de semillas criollas e incorporación de materia orgánica al suelo, concordando con las reportadas en la literatura reciente. Sin embargo, la agricultura se encuentra en condiciones difíciles debido a su pérdida de rentabilidad; en el caso de la periurbana el crecimiento inmobiliario de la ciudad hace conflictiva la producción agrícola al competir principalmente por espacio. Sin embargo, el ingreso extra-parcelario subsidia la producción agrícola en la mayoría de los casos sin un retorno efectivo.
