Bee pollination affects coffee quality, yield, and trade-offs within them
(2025-01-01)Bees provide valuable pollination services by increasing crop yields. However, pollination services to crop quality – which often determines nutritional and financial value – have been less studied, particularly in tropical ... -
CacaoFIT: the network of cacao field trials in Latin America and its contribution to sustainable cacao farming in the region
(2024-06-11)A network of agronomists, researchers, and practitioners associated with cacao farming provided open access to their independent field trials across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). A centralized dataset was assembled ... -
Changes in the economics of coffee production between 2008 and 2019: a tale of two Central American countries
(CATIE- Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza, 2024-06-09)Increasing costs of coffee production relative to coffee prices has led to concern across the industry of lack of profitability of coffee production especially for smallholders who comprise a large majority of producers. ... -
Physical and chemical properties of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and palm kernel cake (Elaeis guineensis) by-products
(2024-07-12)The raw materials used for animal feed are traditionally cereal crops and forage grasses that compete with the cultivation of feed for humans, so it is important to identify nonconventional food sources to reduce competition. ... -
Mapping the distribution of bioactive compounds and aroma/flavour precursors in green coffee beans with an integrated mass spectrometry-based approach
(De Gruyter, 2024-06-19)Coffee is one of the most enjoyed beverages worldwide and whilst a wide array of secondary metabolites has been qualitatively and quantitatively characterised within the coffee bean, little is known about their distribution ... -
Making Global Climate Action work for nature and people: Priorities for Race to Zero and Race to Resilience
(Science Direct, 2024-09)There is increasing recognition in science and policy that the current nature and climate change crises are highly intertwined, and that these need to be jointly addressed. Within the United Nations Framework Convention ... -
Haitian coffee agroforestry systems harbor complex arabica variety mixtures and under recognized genetic diversity
(University of Jeddah, 2024-04-16)Though facing significant challenges, coffee (Coffea arabica) grown in Haitian agroforestry systems are important contributors to rural livelihoods and provide several ecosystem services. However, little is known about ... -
Quantifying movement of the coffee berry borer at the interface between coffee plantations and adjacent land uses
(Frontiers, 2024-04-03)In this study, our objective was to provide evidence of the movement of the coffee berry borer (CBB), the most important pest in coffee cultivation, from neighboring coffee plantations to adjacent land uses at different ... -
Tree demographic strategies largely overlap across succession in Neotropical wet and dry forest communities
(2024-05-19)Secondary tropical forests play an increasingly important role in carbon budgets and biodiversity conservation. Understanding successional trajectories is therefore imperative for guiding forest restoration and climate ... -
Tropical forest succession increases taxonomic and functional tree richness but decreases evenness
(Wiley, 2024-06-08)Successional changes in functional diversity provide insights into community assembly by indicating how species are filtered into local communities based on their traits. Here, we assess successional changes in taxonomic ...
