Popis: | In a small country like Costa Rica, the same climate event can affect neighboring communities in very distinct ways. In the summer of 1998, following an intense El Niño-related drought, I set out to examine how this event had affected small-scale farmers across northern Costa Rica. Surprisingly, there were large differences in coping abilities between farmers of the Caribbean and Pacific regions despite the overall small spatial scale at which my research was conducted. |
