PROJECT OVERVIEW
Location: Gorongosa mountains
Area: 500 hectares
Status: Pilot project & field work started
Duration: 25 Years
Working hand to hand with the farmers of Mount Gorongosa
Growing exceptional shade coffee
Restoring Mount Gorongosa's rainforest

10. OBJECTIVES
To characterize and improve the environmental sustainability of the coffee production system
To analyse the resilience of the germplasm to the projected climate changes and to select elite genotypes
To evaluate the potential of other species than Arabica
To install human capacity (farmers, technicians, students and researchers) in the coffee value chain

11. ACTIVITIES
Five Year Plan

12. A1. Baseline study: climate, soil and speciesR1
Database → Data integration → System improvement
