Summary
Kenyan coffee farmers face significant challenges: falling livelihoods, climate change, and biodiversity loss. We propose an innovative, scalable solution - co-designed with farmers - and grounded in evidence from impact evaluation and behavioural science. We will co-design benchmarking and advice tools that compare farms with higher-performing peers. We will test the causative effect of these tools on farmers' outcomes through a randomised control trial, identify how to overcome adoption barriers, and scale by integrating with certification schemes and extension services.
An innovative approach to agriculture in Madagascar enables communities to build climate-adaptive food systems while reducing pressure on biodiversity.
