Hacia un modelo de Cafeticultura Climáticamente Inteligente mediante Diagnóstico Rápido Participativo en la región de Huatusco Veracruz, México

Climate-Smart Coffee Farming

Abstract

The objective of the study was to integrate actors in the coffee agroecosystem in the Huatusco region of Veracruz to strengthen capacities and build a regional model of climate-smart agriculture that can be replicated in other coffee-growing regions of Mexico. To achieve this, a regional forum was organized whose methodological structure combined elements of technical training, experience exchange, participatory rapid diagnosis, and collaborative analysis.
The Rapid Participatory Diagnosis (RPD) methodology allowed producers, technicians, academics, company representatives, and government actors to jointly analyze the current situation, identify smart coffee farm management practices that contribute to increased production, adaptation, and resilience to climate change and promote soil regeneration, recognize their limitations, and propose specific actions for the Huatusco region of Veracruz.
