Coffee cultivation faces a number of crucial challenges, including
increasing biotic and abiotic stresses related to climate change,
concern about its environmental impact and the vulnerability of
many smallholder coffee farmers. Climate-smart production of
coffee: Improving social and environmental sustainability addresses
the need for more resilient and sustainable methods of cultivation
which produce high-quality products with minimum environmental
impact while still protecting smallholder livelihoods. The book
considers ways of assessing and improving social sustainability,
including the role of speciality coffees in improving smallholder
incomes, as well as ways coffee production can be optimised
throughout the value chain, from breeding through to postharvest.
Coffee is extremely susceptible to a range of pests and diseases
such as soil-borne and other insect pests, nematodes and diseases
such as coffee leaf rust. This new book reviews recent advances in
sustainable crop protection methods on coffee farms and plantations
around the world, with a particular focus on integrated pest and
disease management programmes. With contributions from a wide range
of internationally-renowned experts, the book shows how coffee
production can be made more economically, environmentally and
socially sustainable in the face of climate change.
