Download or read book Coffee climate change and adaption strategies for German coffee producers written by Markus Esser and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change and global warming are highly affecting the cultivation conditions worldwide. This bachelor thesis analyses the global warming related changes on the global green coffee market – especially for C. arabica – to derivate approaches for German coffee producers to adapt their procurement strategies. In this context this thesis forecasts the worldwide supply and demand for C. arabica for the year 2050, which shows a large gap between C. arabica supply and demand in 2050 – and presents a limited number of approaches for German coffee producers to reduce the impacts of the climate change and to secure the C. arabica supply. This thesis shows that German coffee producers need to act and proposes how this could be realised. This bachelor thesis was submitted at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences in 2015 under the title: „Analysis of the climate change related changes on the global green coffee market for the derivation of procurement strategy alternatives of German coffee producers“.

Download or read book Selling Sustainability Short written by Janina Grabs and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can private standards bring about more sustainable production practices? This question is of interest to conscientious consumers, academics studying the effectiveness of private regulation, and corporate social responsibility practitioners alike. Grabs provides an answer by combining an impact evaluation of 1,900 farmers with rich qualitative evidence from the coffee sectors of Honduras, Colombia and Costa Rica. Identifying an institutional design dilemma that private sustainability standards encounter as they scale up, this book shows how this dilemma plays out in the coffee industry. It highlights how the erosion of price premiums and the adaptation to buyers' preferences have curtailed standards' effectiveness in promoting sustainable practices that create economic opportunity costs for farmers, such as agroforestry or agroecology. It also provides a voice for coffee producers and value chain members to explain why the current system is failing in its mission to provide environmental, social, and economic co-benefits, and what changes are necessary to do better.

Download or read book Shock Waves written by Stephane Hallegatte and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-11-23 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.

Download or read book Climate Change and Agriculture Worldwide written by Emmanuel Torquebiau and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-26 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, especially with the approach of the 21st Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris in late 2015, the number of publications, conferences and meetings on climate change has been growing exponentially. Yet uncertainties remain concerning rural tropical areas where models are forecasting the onset of multiple disorders and trends are unclear. Meanwhile, the impact of climate change on the poorest communities is regularly documented, often prompting alarmist reactions. How can food security be achieved while adapting to and mitigating climate change? What are the main threats to agriculture in developing countries? How do farmers in these countries cope with the threats? What does agricultural research propose? What options have yet to be investigated? A broad scope of scientific research is underway to address these challenges. Diverse solutions are available, including new agricultural practices, water management, agricultural waste recycling, diagnosis of emerging diseases, payment for ecosystem services, etc. Gaining insight into the financial and political mechanisms that underlie international climate negotiations is also essential to design practical ways to deal with climate issues and meet sustainable development requirements in collaboration with farmers. This book pools the wealth of experience of dozens of researchers and development officers from a range of disciplines. We have focused on making it detailed, accurate and hopefully easy to read for researchers, students and all other informed readers.
