Resumo
La agricultura familiar de montaña es un reservorio de memoria biocultural que integra conocimientos, prácticas y creencias vinculadas a su territorio. No obstante, la alta dependencia del clima hace a esta actividad especialmente vulnerable a la variabilidad climática actual. Este estudio analiza las prácticas de adaptación en huertas familiares mapuche-pewenche del Sur de los Andes, mediante un enfoque metodológico mixto predominantemente cualitativo. Los resultados revelan percepciones locales de estrés térmico y fisiológico en cultivos, junto con una creciente escasez hídrica, y 17 prácticas adaptativas agrupadas en dos categorías (conservación y uso eficiente del agua, y gestión agrícola-espacial). Estas prácticas emergen tanto desde la memoria biocultural como desde la articulación con otros sistemas de conocimiento (e.g., extensionismo estatal). Destacamos el rol clave de la memoria biocultural en la construcción de sistemas socioecológicos adaptativos, así como la necesidad de políticas públicas consensuadas con pueblos indígenas y comunidades locales para la adaptación y apropiación local de estas.
