Climate change has intensified the demand for adaptation and mitigation strategies supported by local climate analyses. This study investigated trends in temperature and precipitation in the Guapiruvu neighborhood, Sete Barras, São Paulo State, an area characterized by family farming within agroforestry systems. Mann–Kendall and Pettitt tests, as well as climate extreme indices from RClimDex, were applied to daily temperature and precipitation data (2000–2020). Additionally, an agroclimatic suitability table was developed for banana, peach palm, juçara, cocoa, and cassava. The results indicate an increase in average maximum temperatures and a reduction in precipitation, along with a higher frequency of tropical nights and consecutive dry days. These trends may compromise the viability of crops with low drought tolerance, particularly juçara. In this context, the maintenance and expansion of agroforestry systems represent a relevant territorial strategy to enhance local productive resilience.
