Organic agriculture and climate change in developing countries Salvador Garibay 1, Manuel Amador 2, Jonathan Castro 2 and Lukas Kilcher 1 1 FiBL 2 CEDECO

Nicaragua organic production 1.Coffee 10% organic (13,100 ha) 3,500 small producers 90% export to EU, USA 2. Sesame 3. Cocoa 4. Cashew nuts 5. Vegetables 6. Cattle production 7. Honey

Nicaragua investigation on climate change Legal framework for environmental services Studies on carbon sequestration and carbon emissions in agriculture, forest and industry No investigation on organic agriculture and climate change

Background investigation since 2004 (Costa Rica) Raw sugar Vegetable Coffee Fincas Orgánicas Integrales FOI’s.

Theoretical model

GHG emissions from soils under different coffee production systems Organic coffee production reduces GHG emissions of 1 ton of Ceq/ha 13,000 ton of Ceq/ha for all organic coffee in Nicaragua In the VCM is a value of 300,000 USD yearly for the 3,500 small farmers

Energy efficiency of organic coffee production

Carbon sequestration under organic coffee production Carbon sequestration under organic coffee production is higher in the depth soil layers than in conventional coffee

Assessment and improvement of climate relevant techniques in organic coffee production Reduction of GHG Carbon Sequestration Conservation of biodiversity Use of Natural Resources Organic Conventional Do we need a model? CEDECO/UNA/FiBL

Assess possible environmental services of organic coffee production systems Carbon SequestrationReduction of GHG Water use and conservation Conservation of biodiversity Assessment and improvement of climate relevant techniques in organic coffee production

Optimize and enhance benefits of organic coffee production systems in all its life cycle to and throughout the value chain Climate neutral production Biogas and energy production Compost elaborationBio fertilizer without GHG emissions Post harvest with low energy Waste management Assessment and improvement of climate relevant techniques in organic coffee production

Strategies and objectives 1.Research: on station and on farm 2.Dissemination: capacity building, exchange of experience, promotion, multiplication, networking 3.Policy dialog

Process 1.Participatory process 2.Linking stakeholders: producers, authorities, NGO’S research centres, etc. 3.Generating local Know-how

How development & cooperation can promote organic agriculture as a solution for climate mitigation Set up projects with small farmers groups to improve specific management techniques: Fertility and carbon sequestration Compost production Biogas and energy production Management of the biodiversity Management of the waste and natural resources Research, Dissemination and policy dialogue Organic agriculture as excellent tool to mitigate climate change
