Case Study
Helping coffee farmers
In Sumatra, Indonesia, LDC agronomists train farmers on coffee best practice, and support them in adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Local smallholder farmers are encouraged to plant indigenous trees alongside their coffee plants, providing shade and adjusting more easily to rising temperatures.
