Editor's Notes
- <number>
- Cabi was implementing agents in phase 1, represented mainly by Peter Baker. He retired this year and is now working a freelancer consultant for us/c&c. GIZ was implementing agent until end of 2013- then their funding stopped and a repetitive co-funding of a specific PPP is not permitted (or at least very very limited). For the second phase, Conservation International joined our Executive Committee (since 07/2015). As their are an NGO, Starbucks financed CI’s role with their membership fee (thus it’s an in-kind of starbucks– the staff of CI Mrs Bambi Semroc- but maybe you don’t have to mention this). Phase 1: Duration: 09/2010 – 05/2015 Budget: 2, 38 mln Phase 2: Duration: 07/2015 – 12/2018 (most likely it will look like this, if Sida and IDH join in 01/2016) Budget: 1,87 mln (at least. We‘ll invite further partners to join c&c and hopefully the budget will then grow as well;) <number>
- We use participatory methodologies for assessing risks to coffee production locally, identifying adaptation options and turning them into action. Experiences are consolidated into the c&c approach (5 Steps; problem domain and solution domain). The approach follows a circle in order to refine knowledge as climate changes advances and weather patterns will continue to change. <number>
- What have we found out? Good Agricultura Practices are a good start, but they need to be further developed; new elements need to be incorporated; some are straight forward (no regret measures); others need to be tested and validated. We did validation trials in many locations with a number of interesting AOs. A case study from Honduras may serve as an example. Soil temperature was measured with smart buttons in 15 cm of depth; soil temperature rises with rising temperatures and sun exposure. Soil cover and shade reduce soil temperature and help the plant in two ways: less evapotranspiration and less stress in growth. Plant growth and root development are affected with temperatures of and above 33°C; this also affects productivity. 32°C is critical during flowering; so we try to develop approaches to keep temperature in coffee production systems below 30°C for extended periods of time. <number>
- The photo taken by a drone shows measurements of validation plots; research is conducted by students from Imperial College in London. It shows results of 3 different treatments for cooling down the production system and better maintaining soil humidity. <number>
- Hellgrün: Adoption Rate Jan/2013 Dunkelgrün: Adoption Rate Oct/2014 Red: Non-adopter <number>
- We share what we have and document experiences: Toolbox Step-by-step guide (sourcebook) Case Studies We invite others to use the experiences and comment back; we want to enhance our common knowledge and continuously develop it further (at the farm; beyond the farm); climate continues to change and will cause new challenges in the future for which new solutions will need to be found. <number>
- The response on c&c is positive and continuously increasing; very encouraging to see local structures and partners interested to adopt the approach in their own operations (local ownership). Also partners from the industry are committed to make use the approach in their field level operations. There is good ground for scaling through continuation and expansion in pilot regions replication: conduct satellite projects in new countries, regions, sub-regions (Honduras, Peru, Uganda, Indonesia, others tbd) We will all benefit from better connections in the sector, from joint learning and cooperation. <number>
