Coffee Kids | Community - Matagalpa (#)

„During a follow-up visit to Nicaragua in January 1999, Coffee Kids and Cecocafen discussed long-term economic development strategies that would move beyond relief efforts and would continue the process of rebuilding and community development. During a series of meetings with the Cecocafen staff and community members, Coffee Kids Program Coordinators explained how an innovative economic empowerment model that originated in Mexico could be adapted to meet the needs of Matagalpa's coffee-farming families. This highly successful economic empowerment model, known as GMAS (Groups of Women Saving in Solidarity), has been benefiting thousands of families in Mexico since 1996 and seemed a viable alternative for families in Nicaragua. In June 1999, an economic empowerment program--tailored to meet the needs of the individuals, families, and communities in Matagalpa--was successfully implemented.“

Invisible Communications in Coffee Plantations (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„At this juncture it is critical to understand the natural patterns of the coffee ecosphere. We need to examine the base of the Coffee Plantation pyramid called life, which essentially comprises of the biotic community where Macro and Microorganisms, coffeeplants, animals, insects and trees live together within the same habitat. The question of underlying importance is the interaction, interrelationships, patterns of interdependence, which ultimately determine the survival of the local ecosystem and the coffee community at large. Coffee Planters should understand or learn to predict the consequences of tampering with the environment due to indiscriminate use of poisonous chemicals, fertilizers, heavy machinery that might imbalance the essential patterns of nature’s harmonious relationship with the environment.“

Indian coffee board- monthly magazine- Cover Story - Impact of Extension Services with Special Reference to Shevaroys (#)

„It was in the early period of 1950 and onwards, few extension offices were opened with concentration in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, South Kerala and Waynad to disseminate the research findings to the growers for successful coffee cultivation. The CCRI, which was the flagship for the research programmes supported the planting community by supplying improved plant materials for vast expansion of coffee in South India. S.795, the seed material indigenously developed at CCRI was the improved selection strain that gained the confidence of planting community and large areas were expanded with this material. It had some resistance to leaf rust which was considered to be a major disease in coffee that was responsible for the vanishing coffee in Sri Lanka.“

Fair-trade cooperatives: a positive alternative - Fair Trade Coffee Project - Lutheran World Relief (#)

„The LWR Coffee Project reaches out to communities like Rojas' in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. When purchasing organizations agree to pay a fair price for the product--at least $1.26 per pound of coffee--farmers can not only earn more money for necessary items such as food but can also invest back into the community. Fair trade also encourages the development of longstanding business relationships, provides advance credit so farmers can buy seed and fertilizer, and promotes ecological farming methods. The coffee purchased for the LWR Coffee Project provides a true lifeline from Lutheran coffee buyers to the coffee farmers and their families.“

Global Exchange : Coffee Cooperatives (#)

„Farmers also come together not only to improve their livelihood but also to steward the land they live on. Juan Ticliahuanca Ticliahuanca of CEPICAFE explains the first steps the community took as an organized cooperative by saying, "We started with 20,000 seedlings in 1997, including 3,000 fruit trees and native trees." These trees not only provide shade for the coffee, but also prevent soil erosion, nourish the earth, and provide a habitat for wildlife. Growing the seedlings is another way the community comes together. There is a lot more effort being put into cooperation between men and women members.“
