Considerations for replanting arabica coffee farms

About this guide

This guide is intended to support member supply chain partners in deploying WCR’s open-access tools in the field to reduce risk associated with renovation investments and power long-term sustainability.

Background

Climate change is reshaping the world’s coffee production landscape. It is altering land suitability, shifting disease pressures, and raising real business risks for companies and producers that depend on stable supply.

Replanting projects can help the coffee sector adapt. World Coffee Research (WCR) offers several resources to drive informed decision-making about the selection of planting materials in supply chain projects and de-risk renovation investment. Replanting climate-adapted, improved varieties is a key component of a comprehensive Regenerative Agriculture approach to addressing soil health, water, biodiversity, and climate resilience challenges at the farm level.

All tools and resources that appear in this guide are available in English and Spanish* and aggregated at worldcoffeeresearch.org/resources.
