How coffee value chains foster climate-resilient livelihoods
The FAO-Slow Food Coffee Coalition experience
This document introduces how agroforestry coffee improves resilience and ensures livelihoods in the context of climate risk and access to markets. Our intention is to reflect on the benefits and constraints of agroforestry coffee production, good practices for facilitating a fair and sustainable value chain, and what is needed for promoting and maintaining the adoption of said practices. It presents activities performed in Malawi and Uganda by the Slow Food Coffee Coalition (SFCC), whose approach highlights the importance of engaging all actors from the coffee value chain to allow for the strengthened livelihoods of coffee growers. It also offers a curated list of materials and sources of information on the concepts introduced.
