Sustainably facing coffee rust threat in Mexico.
Organization information
ESTUDIOS RURALES Y ASESORIA CAMPESINA, A.C.
Location: OAXACA, Mexico
Summary
Recent rust infestation affected the vast majority of coffee plantations and about 90% of the production was nearly lost in communities. This situation has forced producers to strongly impact agro-ecosystem through intensive use of agrochemicals and elimination of shade trees, exposing high biodiversity areas thus threatening the natural wealth of traditional coffee plantations. This proposal allows development and implementation of environmentally friendly practices and communities well-being.
