“…In Colombia, the third largest coffee producer in the world, the sector is mainly driven by cooperatives and has significant importance for the country's economy. Colombia is one of the countries with the highest sustainable production, seeking sustainable initiatives as a strategy to increase the added value of the product [41]. The specialty coffees, rare and exotic, with high standards of quality and variety, have a higher market value [42], [43].…”

Precision Agriculture (PA) and Agriculture 4.0 (A4.0) have been widely discussed as a medium to address the challenges related to agricultural production. In this research, we present a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) supported by a Bibliometric Performance and Network Analysis (BPNA) of the use of A4.0 technologies and PA techniques in the coffee sector. To perform the SLR, 87 documents published since 2011 were extracted from the Scopus and Web of Science databases and processed through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) protocol. The BPNA was carried out to identify the strategic themes in the field of study. The results present 23 clusters with different levels of development and maturity. We also discovered and presented the thematic network structure of the most used A4.0 technologies in the coffee sector. Our findings shows that Internet of Things, Machine Learning and geostatistics are the most used technologies in the coffee sector, we also present the main challenges and trends related to technological adoption in coffee systems. We believe that the demonstrated results have the potential to be considered by researchers in future works and decision making related to the field of study.

“…More than half of these papers review the impact on producer communities of fair trade or related certification schemes (e.g. Giuliani et al 2017;Dietz et al 2020). Almost all of these papers whether finding positive or negative development outcomestake a homogenized view of the organization(s) involved, and do not analyze the particular impact of hybridity nor seek to disentangle the separate mission threads that make up the hybrid.…”

There are growing numbers of business-development hybrids that combine a commercial orientation with an intent to deliver development goals. Yet, within development studies research to date, there has been limited conceptualization of these organizations. Borrowing from the extensive literature in other disciplines, this paper argues that the concept of institutional logics can be used as a basis for understanding business-development hybrids. The lens of institutional logics is used to analyze two hybrid case studies of 'impact sourcing' that outsource IT work to disadvantaged groups in Pakistan and India. Synergies between business and development logics were managed by combining those logics, but tensions between the two required techniques of compromising or decoupling the logics. Organizations also managed the logics by presenting a more business-oriented face to clients and a more development-oriented face to workers, by protecting their development logic from commercial pressures, and by seeking to institutionalize both logics. Implications are considered for practice and for future development research.

“…Usually, The literature mentions that the high use of technologies for coffee production, such as production in full sun with high demand for fertilizers, has led to a decrease in the biodiversity of accompanying trees, which provide some regulation and cultural services [ 47 , 48 ]; however, the implementation of this practice has not been found in our typologies of coffee producers. Nevertheless, we observed that the use of organic management technologies resulting from the implementation of certifications to achieve environmental and economic benefit [ 49 – 51 ] demonstrates the relationship for those farmers who attend training in soil conservation methods [ 52 ].…”

Dimensions of social and political capital in interventions to improve household well-being: Implications for coffee-growing areas in southern Colombia

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper studies the influence of community capitals on well-being through a Community Capital Index (CCI) within coffee-growing families in southern Colombia. Our results show different farm typologies, with different levels of capital endowment translated into well-being that, in our case, were represented in the CCI. Specifically, social and political capitals positively affect coffee-growing families’ decisions in terms of life strategies. The results of this study increase our understanding of welfare enhancement and its relationship with capital endowment according to the type of coffee producer, having implications for the planning of more effective programs towards the improvement of quality of life.
