BookletHow coffee value chains foster climate-resilient livelihoods
The FAO-Slow Food Coffee Coalition experience
2024Also available in:
No results found.This document introduces how agroforestry coffee improves resilience and ensures livelihoods in the context of climate risk and access to markets. Our intention is to reflect on the benefits and constraints of agroforestry coffee production, good practices for facilitating a fair and sustainable value chain, and what is needed for promoting and maintaining the adoption of said practices. It presents activities performed in Malawi and Uganda by the Slow Food Coffee Coalition (SFCC), whose approach highlights the importance of engaging all actors from the coffee value chain to allow for the strengthened livelihoods of coffee growers. It also offers a curated list of materials and sources of information on the concepts introduced. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGuatemala: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2025 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Guatemala’s humanitarian crisis is mainly driven by climate-induced disruptions to agricultural production and increased human mobility. In the country’s Dry Corridor, families are facing increasing challenges due to the effects of the El Niño phenomenon. The recurring loss of staple crops like maize and beans threatens their livelihoods and food security. Households spend up to 75 percent of their income on food. Providing vulnerable communities with climate-smart agricultural support enables them to quickly produce food while strengthening their resilience against future shocks. -
Book (series)Climate resilience pathways of rural households: Evidence from Ethiopia 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Climate variability and extreme events continue to impose significant challenges to households, particularly to those that are less resilient. By exploring the resilience capacity of rural Ethiopian households after the drought shock occurred in 2011, using panel data, this paper shows important socio-economic and policy determinants of households’ resilience capacity. Three policy indications emerge from the analysis. First, government support programmes, such as the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP), appear to sustain households’ resilience by helping them to reach the level of pre-shock total consumption, but have no impact on the food-consumption resilience. Secondly, the “selling out assets strategy” affects positively households’ resilience, but only in terms of food consumption – not total consumption. Finally, the presence of informal institutions, such as social networks providing financial support, sharply increases households’ resilience by helping them to reach preshock levels of both food consumption and total consumption.
