Resumen
One way to assess the vulnerability of small farmers is to diagnose the capitals that they have to face unexpected changes due to climate change and, in this way, define their possible adaptation capacities; Capitals can be evaluated through the definition of livelihoods which, according to (Urueña, 2017), includes the possibilities, assets (or capitals), including material and social resources and activities with which the community “earns the life ”and in this context, this research analyzes adaptation strategies for climate change. The research was developed taking into account the potato growers of the Susali micro-basin, because in the area, potato cultivation is one of the most important lines of the economy. The micro-basin is located in the municipality of Cerrito - Santander, Colombia. The Cerrito municipality has 86% of its territory within the El Almorzadero moorland complex, this moorland is one of the strategic ecosystems in Colombia (Rincón, 2017). Its importance lies in the production and regulation of water to supply various populations in the departments of Santander and Norte de Santander. The problems to be dealt with in this research are related to the analysis of how vulnerable potato-producing farmers can become, in the face of climatic variability and climate change and the repercussion that it is, can cause in the yield and production of crops, family economy and quality of environmental resources in this strategic area.
