Coffee cultivation faces a number of crucial challenges, including increasing biotic and abiotic stresses related to climate change, concern about its environmental impact and the vulnerability of many smallholder coffee farmers.
Climate-smart production of coffee: Improving social and environmental sustainability addresses the need for more resilient and sustainable methods of cultivation which produce high-quality products with minimum environmental impact while still protecting smallholder livelihoods. The book considers ways of assessing and improving social sustainability, including the role of speciality coffees in improving smallholder incomes, as well as ways coffee production can be optimised throughout the value chain, from breeding through to postharvest.
Coffee is extremely susceptible to a range of pests and diseases such as soil-borne and other insect pests, nematodes and diseases such as coffee leaf rust. This new book reviews recent advances in sustainable crop protection methods on coffee farms and plantations around the world, with a particular focus on integrated pest and disease management programmes.
With contributions from a wide range of internationally-renowned experts, the book shows how coffee production can be made more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable in the face of climate change.
Edited by an internationally-renowned researcher, Climate-smart production of coffee: Improving social and environmental sustainability will be a standard reference on best practice in sustainable coffee production for use by researchers, coffee growers, particularly smallholders, coffee manufacturers and retailers, as well as government and nongovernmental agencies.
Professor Reinhold Muschler is the Latin American Chair in Agroecology and Agrobiodiversity at CATIE (the Center for Agricultural Research and Higher Education), Costa Rica. Professor Muschler has worked with leading international organizations such the FAO, World Bank and IFAD, and is internationally recognised for his research on improving tropical smallholder agroecosystems for crops such as coffee.
