Overview

Mixed-methods study examines climate effects on coffee yield and farmer strategies in a vulnerable region.

Key Points

This study explores how climatic changes influence coffee production and farming practices in Wenago Wereda, Ethiopia.
Analyzed rainfall and temperature trends from 1989 to 2024.
Conducted a household survey with 199 respondents and focus group discussions with 44 participants.
Utilized satellite imagery to assess land use changes from 1990 to 2020.
Minimum temperature increased by +2.15°C, annual rainfall decreased by 155 mm, both statistically significant (p < 0.01).
Coffee production declined by 24% linked to climate changes (p=0.0011).
Farmers reported climate change as a major threat (72.8%), highlighting erratic rainfall and disease outbreaks.
