“…As families possess more hectares of production, they do not seek other sources of income. Coffee farming is one of the most important activities as it provides economic income, employment, and an ecosystem service to the community (Rojas et. al, 2021).…”

Purpose: The objective of this research was to characterize coffee production and its impact on the income of farmers in the Amazonas Region. heoretical framework: Recent literature has identified that coffee production is an agriculturally significant activity in the local economy, being the main generator of employment and family income. This activity is influenced by various factors, such as soil quality and climate change (Arzubi, 2003). However, there are still many factors that require further research regarding coffee production, in order to increase both crop productivity and the incomes of the families involved. Design/methodology/approach: We analyzed the profile of international research on the characterization of coffee production from 2018 to 2022. The subject and authors found in journals indexed in Scielo, Scopus were identified. The research was basic with a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design of a descriptive cross-sectional type, with a sample of 126 farmers, it was carried out through the survey as an information collection instrument. Findings: The volume of research on the characterization of coffee production and its impact on farmers' incomes has increased in recent years. However, it has been identified that only a few authors and journals have contributed to this specific topic. In the survey sample, it was found that 71% of the respondents are male producers, and 32% fall within the age range of 38 to 47 years. Furthermore, 32% of the farmers have two hectares of cultivation, with an average production of 30.6 quintals. 75% of the farmers sold their coffee to traders or intermediaries at a price of S/. 867 per quintal. Regarding associativity, it was found that 39% of the producers have an associativity degree between 0.78 and 0.88. On the other hand, 92% of the farmers use technology below 0.5, indicating a high level of associativity but low technology employed in the production process. Research, Practical & Social implications: It is suggested to conduct more in-depth research on the level of technology and associativity among farmers in the Amazon region. This is because, despite having a high degree of associativity and low technology employed, it does not necessarily reflect in the producers incomes. Originality/value: The information provided is original. The findings do not indicate any shortcomings in coffee agricultural activity, as it remains one of the primary activities in generating employment and income for many families.

“…It is important to note that indicators where participatory assessments were made, such as ours, have a more robust sustainability approach, as shown by Vaidya and Mayer [82] in analyzing 13 case studies around the world. The indicators used in this study-yield, prices, diversity of varieties, affectations by pest and diseases, primary vegetation, shade-grown, source of income, and family involvement among others-have been used in different research to assess coffee production systems [32,83,84]. The indicator weighting process was developed through the analytic hierarchy process, which is one of the most often applied multi-criteria decision methods [85].…”

Changes over Time Matter: A Cycle of Participatory Sustainability Assessment of Organic Coffee in Chiapas, Mexico

et al. 2022

This paper discusses how to incorporate the changes within an agroecosystem into sustainability assessment. We measured the sustainability of 86 organic coffee producers located in 4 municipalities of Sierra Madre of Chiapas, Mexico. Based on the MESMIS framework, a set of indicators was selected. A sustainability index was constructed using the multi-criteria decision method known as the analytical hierarchy process in a broad participatory process with producers and cooperatives. Likewise, classification of producers was carried out through land use transitions in their lands between 1999 and 2019 using satellite imagery. A variance analysis between classes was performed to identify statistical differences. The results show that producers who expand their coffee plantations into forested areas have more sustainability levels than those producers who convert agricultural activities into coffee plantations and producers with both transitions in coffee expansion-conversion. The indicators of labor efficiency, benefit-to-cost ratio, price, remnant of primary vegetation, recovery of production from natural phenomena, family succession, and producer land area showed statistical differences between classes. These results are relevant because sustainability assessment is an action-oriented method. Therefore, the contribution of this study can help guide recommendations for specific groups of producers.

“…Hay carencia de ejecución de la gobernabilidad del agua en la cuenca Cumbaza y que, la comisión de los caudales acuáticos posee un nivel de consumación bajo (30 %), yaciendo el elemento financiero de más preocupación, por la ausencia de carácter política de las soberanías para asegurar los recursos de inversiones y expensas periódicas (Gárate Ríos, 2021). Por ejemplo, las chacras de café orgánico en el Alto Mayo (San Martín), son más sostenibles que las de obtención convencional, aunque existen puntos críticos en los que hay requerimiento de atarearse para incrementar la sustentabilidad y convertirla en perdurable en lapsos de tiempo mayores (Rojas Ruiz et al, 2021).…”

En San Martin, el café es uno de los principales productos agrícolas para el mercado mundial; sin embargo, la producción enfrenta problemas y desafíos sociales, ambientales, ecológicos y económicos, que lo colocan en un nivel de alta vulnerabilidad productiva. El objetivo fue evaluar la sostenibilidad socioeconómica y ecológica de los sistemas orgánicos y convencionales del café. Se realizó en la cuenca del río Cumbaza, cordillera escalera, en las comunidades nativas Aviación, Chiricyacu y Chinchiwi. Las mediciones de indicadores socioeconómicos fueron realizadas mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se construyeron índices de 0 a 10, para cada indicador, a partir de valores y referencias, los que están relacionados a niveles de sostenibilidad. El sistema de producción orgánica certificada, presentó mayor sostenibilidad económica para los diferentes indicadores: precio, mercado, margen bruto/ha, productividad del trabajo y relación beneficio costo. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos para los indicadores: productividad del café, costo de producción y costo unitario. El sistema de producción orgánica certificada mostró mayor sostenibilidad socioeconómica que el sistema convencional, debido principalmente al más alto precio del café.
