This document reports on the results of a consultancy conducted for Oxfam GB in Jamaica to systematically address the challenge of climate change regarding farmers’ livelihoods and supply chains.

The study found temperature increases by about 1.1 ºC by 2030 and 1.7 ºC by 2050 and the rainfall decreases over the year and the number of cumulative dry months (draught period) keeps constant in three months. It also found that the vulnerability of small farmers is very high and that is an area facing a geographical shift of some crops to higher altitudes. A high threat of extreme weather events were found, as well as farmers dependent on intermediaries and a low human, social & financial capital of many farmers.
