Assessing disparities in access, use, and potential benefits of weather and climate information services among farmers in Guatemala’s Dry Corridor

by Maya Moore, Geneva List, Max Mauerman, Dante Salazar Ballesteros, Walter Baethgen

Highlights

• The Guatemalan LTAC model may be less producer-centered than other countries; few farmers know of it.
• Farmers access short-term weather forecasts over seasonal ones, suggesting limited dissemination.
• Radio remains the preferred channel for receiving weather and climate information.
• Farmers rely on their own environmental observations to identify climate risk.
• Many farmers want to adapt to climate risk but face financial barriers to implementation.
