Results of the International AdapCC seminar in Nicaragua

We have made important progresses in our pilot project that supports coffee and tea producers who face negative impacts of climate change.

Between March 21 to 26 of this year the international seminar "Adaptation to climate change in the coffee sector of Peru, Nicaragua and Mexico" was carried out in Nicaragua.

The training seminar was visited by 26 technical advisors of partner producer organisations in Peru, Nicaragua and Mexico. Together with climate change experts they were discussing during the 5 days workshop their experiences regarding sustainable measures to adapt to climate change in their site-specific scenarios. Some of the lessons learnt are the following:

  • site-specific adaptation strategies depend largely on site-specific climate scenarios and local capacities
  • changing climate conditions, e.g. prolonged droughts and stronger rainy seasons are affecting the coffee plantations and the crop yield
  • most required measures of adaptation strategies are diversification, more resistant varieties, good agricultural practices and the sustainable use of natural resources
