In the Sidama area in southern Ethiopia, most of the coffee production is provided by small scale farmers weakened by coffee prices’ variations, difficult weather conditions and a high cost of inputs. The plantation of 297,000 remaining trees in coffee plantations, using an agroforestry model, will ensure the long-term sustainability of family farming, reduce soil erosion, optimise land use and increase revenue for more than 5,500 farmers through the plantation of forest and fruit species.
