Two months ago, our tenacious project teams in Mexico and Guatemala visited more than 50 smallholder coffee farms as part of what we’ve come to call the <\/span>Suelos <\/em>project (\u201csuelo\u201d is Spanish for <\/span>soil<\/em>). These activities are officially supported under a project called \u201cTowards a regional vision for agroecological soil management in the coffee landscapes of Mesoamerica\u201d with funding through a <\/span>Gund Institute<\/a> <\/span>Catalyst Award<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The objective of the project, in short, is to co-produce knowledge about the relationships between the structure of coffee agroecosystems, indicators of soil health, coffee productivity and coffee cup quality. This knowledge will be the basis for articulating a local plan of action for protecting soil health in coffee-producing landscapes.<\/p>\n

To read more about our recent visits to the coffee plots (and about our Participatory Action Research process in general), head over to our project blog<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
