Adaptation
Any adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities. It involves taking action so that we can be more resilient to our current climate, less susceptible to the impacts of future climate change and in a position to take advantage of opportunities.

Agroecology
“The study of the relation of agricultural crops and environment. Agroecology is a holistic approach that seeks to reconcile agriculture and local communities with natural processes for the common benefit of nature and livelihoods. It is inherently multidisciplinary, including sciences such as agronomy, ecology, environmental science, sociology, economics, history and others. “
