安第斯山脉的牧民家庭一直不得不应对气候不确定性。然而,最近,由于资产基础薄弱、土地和牲畜获取方面的巨大不平等以及多种与气候无关的压力普遍存在,这些问题正被推到它们的适应范围之外。然而,这些适应战略的复杂、前瞻性和因地制宜的特点仍然没有得到充分解决。本文确定了中央安第斯山脉牧民家庭追求的不同适应轨迹。积累牲畜和坚持传统经济是较富裕家庭最常遵循的策略,而较不富裕家庭则寻求进一步融入市场经济和资产多样化。旨在促进纺织业、有利于保护某些草原地区和减少土地碎片化的措施似乎特别适合于改善安第斯牧民家庭的生计。
Pastoralist households in the Andes have always had to cope with climate uncertainty. Recently, however, due to a combination of a weak asset base, large inequalities in land and livestock access, and the prevalence of multiple non-climate-related stressors, they are being pushed beyond their range of adaptability. However, the complex, forward-looking and site-specific features of these adaptation strategies remain insufficiently addressed. This article identifies the diverse adaptation trajectories pursued by pastoralist households in the Central Andes. Accumulation of livestock and adherence to the traditional economy are the strategies most often followed by wealthier households, while less well-off households seek further integration into the market economy and asset diversification. Measures aimed at promoting textile manufacturing, favouring the preservation of certain grassland areas, and reducing land fragmentation, seem particularly appropriate for enhancing the livelihoods of Andean pastoralist households.
