Context: Despite the priority of developing sustainable agriculture and having methodological resources for Sustainable Land Management (SLM), its implementation is slow, which is reinforced by the predominance of non-conservation practices and the impacts of climate variability and change. The background refers to the experiences of SLM practices in specific sites, but to a lesser extent the challenges of the innovation management process. Objective: To improve the process of design and implementation of SLM plans, aimed at adaptation to climate change on farms in the La Gloria community. Methods: Participatory action research, participant observation, in-depth interview, documentary review and integration of SLM approaches, adaptation to climate change, applied to other sustainability and innovation management approaches are applied. Results: The synergistic effect of the SLM and climate change adaptation approaches for agricultural sustainability at the local level is evident and improvements are made to the process of design and implementation of SLM plans oriented to adaptation to climate change. Conclusions: The applied methodological approach allows integrating R + D + i projects, science and technology management and capacity building of producers and specialists to enhance the synergistic effect that the sustainability of agricultural practice at the local level have sustainable land management approaches and adaptation to climate variability and change evidenced by farmers' adoption of nature-based solutions.
