Epidemics and the future of coffee production.
(2021-06)
In this perspective, we draw on recent scientific research on the coffee leaf rust (CLR) epidemic that
severely impacted several countries across Latin America and the Caribbean over the last decade, to
explore how the ...
Successional cocoa agroforests of the Amazon-Orinoco-Guiana shield
