One year of coffee farming in one very intense week, with theory and practice in a running coffee farm. From selecting seeds over pest control and pruning to picking, processing and export. Thank you everybody who participated! It was great to see all this different profiles, from novice to experienced and from distributor to barista. It was great to host you all and to try and answer all your questions, we truly hope that you returned with more questions than you had when you arrived here!
And thank you again to Kaffeemacher for being such a wonderful partner in the organization, in Switzerland and here in Nicaragua! Not to forget Denis who joined us all the way from Australia for this edition of the Coffee Farm Training.

Think "shade grown coffee" is passe? Think again. Agroforestry is going to be an increasingly important part of coffee's future. And we are going to have to create better varieties that can be profitable for farmers under shade. Read this great overview of a huge European project including WCR aimed at doing just that.

Climate change is threatening Europe’s coffee supplies, but the impacts could be diluted by planting the crops amongst trees - a technique known as agroforestry, which is also being revived in European farming.
