Shade conservation benefits coffee

A study has shown that cultivating coffee under shade trees helps protect coffee crops from the impacts of climate change by increasing farmers' ability to sequester carbon and enhancing resistance to drought and heat. The study confirmed that farms relying on agroforestry store between two to four times more carbon compared to open-field farms, while maintaining 60-90% of the carbon in the soil. Additionally, the tree cover contributes to lowering temperatures and improving soil moisture retention. However, more research is still needed to assess farms' resilience to heatwaves and drought conditions.
