Coffee Crop
A mixed stand of shade grown coffee and bananas

Maintaining soil fertility on steep slopes requires perennial crops and a forest cover. At CREAR, the solution to slash and burn has been organic coffee. The most successful of all CREAR’s interventions, organic coffee production has been adopted by many farmers in the area.

Their attraction to organic coffee has been economic: market prices for organic coffee are double those of regular coffee. This is a market incentive with ecological benefits. Farmers who grow organic coffee must maintain a forest cover to do so, and pesticides are banned from a certified organic farm.
