BACKGROUND
The Potential of Mesoamerican Coffee Production Systems to Mitigate Climate Change
Lack of knowledge: } Carbon footprints in coffee production... } Voluntary standards and climate change mitigation... } Climate change mitigation practices...
Objective: } To quantify the effects of different coffee production
systems and voluntary standards on climate change. } To develop a framework for effective climate change
mitigation on coffee production level.

FRAMEWORK FOR EFFECTIVE MITIGATION
The Potential of Mesoamerican Coffee Production Systems to Mitigate Climate Change
} In ´t Veld (2002): Effectiveness = Content * Acceptance
} Adapted to: MITx = PRCy * FSBz Where: MIT = mitigation, kg CO2-e PRC = correct practices FSB = implementation feasibility

FRAMEWORK FOR EFFECTIVE MITIGATION
The Potential of Mesoamerican Coffee Production Systems to Mitigate Climate Change
1. Increase on-farm carbon stocks 2. Increase fertiliser use efficiency 3. Reduce wastewater generation
PRC (correct practices) focus:

RECOMENDATIONS
The Potential of Mesoamerican Coffee Production Systems to Mitigate Climate Change
} To CIAT § Start discussions with GMCR to implement the climate change
mitigation framework in their Mesoamerican coffee supply chains. § Start further investigations in low CH4 emitting coffee processing
methods and machinery. Pay due attention to coffee quality.
} To Sustainability standards § Address effective climate change mitigation practices in standards. § Ensure the feasibility of implementation for coffee farmers.
