Project Overview

Created in 2014, this project aims at:

Providing solutions to coffee farmers to face climate change.

Helping farmers produce qualitative coffee by planting trees in coffee’s parcels to create shadow.

Empowering communities through agroforestry practices.

“All the family is involved in the farm lifestyle. For example my mother cultivates her vegetable garden under the shadow of the coffee parcel.” – Manuel Arbey Cortez Alban

Created in 2014, this project aims at:

Empowering communities through agroforestry practices.

“All the family is involved in the farm lifestyle. For example my mother cultivates her vegetable garden under the shadow of the coffee parcel.” – Manuel Arbey Cortez Alban

OBJECTIVES

Farmers are very involved and highly interested in reforestation, in particular for sustainable timber production. Planting trees of local native species will contribute to:

  • reduce erosion and landslides
  • protect freshwater springs of the valley and therefore preserve its quality
  • diversify farmers’ incomes through the sale of fruits and timber
  • improve milk and meat production by following sylvopastoral models

Project Narrative

CONTEXT In the Cauca and Nariño regions, watersheds and the shade coffee landscape have been threatened by uncontrolled deforestation, started 20 years ago, due to rapid expansion of agriculture and through cattle grazing mostly in the highest parcels of the valley.Coffee farmers are mainly affected by degrading coffee farming conditions: regular pests and diseases affecting their coffee fields and yields; loss of biodiversity, reduced pollination, reduced natural pest control, reduced water resources (quantity and quality).The coffee farms are also highly vulnerable to external disturbances (natural and market): farmers are dependent on coffee revenues with high market price volatility; increasing prices of chemical inputs (fertilizers and chemicals). This vulnerability is strengthened by climate change and always more frequent extreme climatic events (prolonged droughts, heavy rains, storms, landslides, etc.), affecting coffee farms with limited resilience to extreme events in the absence of appropriate agricultural systems and natural protection. Moreover, the coffee fields are usually set-up on steep slopes and face important problems of erosion and landslides.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) offer a broad range of benefits, including improved water quantity and quality, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity protection. However, these solutions may also have trade-offs (negative or unintended impacts) such as displacing land users or replacing diverse ecosystems …

Nature-based solutions (NBS) take place within complex, dynamic, and self-organizing socio-ecological systems. These include biophysical, economic, political, and cultural systems. For example, a forest restoration project interacts with the forest ecology, hydrology, local communities, and regional businesses. The project also …

Effective engagement with local communities in nature-based solutions (NBS) projects requires thoughtful commitment. Build relationships with stakeholder groups and incorporate their input throughout the project lifecycle, from design and planning to project management and maintenance. Engaging and empowering a diverse …
