Innovations to promote adoption of coffee agroforestry in Bolivia: the role of ASOCAFÉ
This is the first in a series of case studies on the innovative tactics used by forest and farm producer organisations or Indigenous Peoples and local community groups to improve the uptake of one of three main types of agroforestry system: shade grown cash crops (that mix trees and crops), silvopastoral systems (that mix trees and livestock), and home gardens (that mix trees, crops and livestock).
This case study examines innovations implemented by the Asociación de Caficultores de Taipiplaya (ASOCAFÉ – the Coffee Growers Association of Taipiplaya) in Bolivia, with the aim of promoting the adoption of agroforestry systems that foster climate-resilient landscapes and better living conditions for its members.
