Building climate-resilient coffee farming in Indonesia
Supported by the Asian Development Bank, CABI is working with ICCRI, Louis Dreyfus Company and the University of Lampung to strengthen 50 coffee farmer groups. So far, 100 Farmer Group Educators have been trained (47% of them women), and 19 biochar kilns are producing over 1,000 kg of biochar a month.
Inclusive, sustainable coffee value chain in Vietnam
CABI and its partners helped smallholder coffee farmers in Vietnam’s Central Highlands adopt sustainable, climate-smart practices. Through training, demonstration plots and digital advisory services, the project improved yields while cutting fertiliser and water use.
Developing sustainable business models using Earth Observation for climate adaptation
Increasing climate-related risks including extreme heat, drought and the high prevalence of pests and diseases puts agricultural and food systems under constant pressure. While new data and technologies, such as Earth Observation (EO), can help predict and prevent threats, it is not readily available. This project aims to close this gap by delivering a multi-service, multi-user platform that supports collaborative data sharing and application. The system will help to meet the challenges of adaptive agriculture, integrating data sets that address the exposure, hazards and vulnerability of individual commodity supply chains to climate-driven risks. CABI is leading on developing sustainable business and governance models, and a maize use case in Kenya that will help to understand user needs and challenges that EO data and analytics can help address.
