vision:

• enable coffee farmers to effectively respond to climate change

mission:

• combine state of the art climate change science and proven farming methods

• offer practical, hands-on and applicable tools

• form a network of all relevant stakeholders in the field

• apply a 360°°°° precompetitive approach including the entire value chain

Vision and mission

The c&c approach

1+2. Assessment of cc challengesExperiences from Mbeya

Lack of water, erratic rainfall

pattern, rising temperatures,

long intense dry seasons

Flower abortion, leaf wilt,

leaf drop, soil loss,

unproductive trees

3. Adaptation planning

(no regret) Measures:

• cover crops (kikuyu and napier grass)

• mulching

• soil management (conservation farming)

• rainwater harvesting

• deeper polybags

Experiments with:

• different levels of mulch

• shade management

Shade tree seedlings

Napier grass

Live mulch

Demo plot

crops

4. Validation and implementation

• More than 1,300 trainedhouseholds (initial target: 750)

• 7 c&c promoters trained

Training and sensitization

Monitoring & Evaluation

• Tool focus: Measure effectiveness of adaptation tools

• Farmer focus: Change in resilience for project farmers

• Attribution: Contribution of project to changed resilience

Tool implementation and validation

• Demonstration plots

• Weather data collection

• Adaptation practices: cover crops (napier grass), mulching, rainwater harvesting, early shade trees

• Farmer Field Schools

financing)

- Network of accredited local/regional trainers

(b) Growing initiative (producer organizations,

coffee institutes, trade and industry, research,

development organizations)

(c) Maturation of pilot projects and scaling

Validation of on going AOs

… c&c pilot regions

15.000

25.000

15.000

• Beneficiaries (indirect): at least 70.000 coffee producers

• Beneficiaries (direct): Implementers and key stakeholders in

the coffee sector in c&c countries (Brazil, Tanzania, Trifinio,

Vietnam) and in the regions (e.g. Indonesia, Uganda,

Ethiopia, Colombia, Peru)

Beneficiaries(indirect)

20.000

Phase 2key elements

• On-going validation of AOs in all pilot regions

• Starting c&c in countries outside c&c pilots

• Regional and beyond regional scaling through qualified ToT

and backstopping to implementers

• Integrating c&c into a more holistic approach (community

and ecosystem based adaptation and mitigation)

• Collecting AOs, experiences and case studies also from

other important growing regions and under different

climatic conditions

• Maturation of toolbox

• Long-term funding model for c&c (business case and

institutionalization of toolbox)

• Supporting local ownership process in pilot regions

• Cooperation with standards

Options

Opportunities

• Systematic and participatory methodology to enable coffee

farmers to better respond to climate change.

• Building capacities locally to enable adaptation to any given

context (impact is always location specific)

• Raising resilience and build local adaptive capacity.

• Focus on measured/observed evidence rather than abstract

modeling.

• Mainstream solution; can be applied in all farmer trainings.

• Identifying and scaling best practice and innovation;

strengthening linkages between field and research.

• Compatible with other approaches to address climate change;

puts experiences into context.

• Systematic joint learning of farmers, extensionists, research,

authorities and other sector stakeholders.

• Mobilizing sector players at large for a common goal.
