Summary
Kenyan coffee farmers face significant challenges: falling livelihoods, climate change, and biodiversity loss. We propose an innovative, scalable solution - co-designed with farmers - and grounded in evidence from impact evaluation and behavioural science. We will co-design benchmarking and advice tools that compare farms with higher-performing peers. We will test the causative effect of these tools on farmers' outcomes through a randomised control trial, identify how to overcome adoption barriers, and scale by integrating with certification schemes and extension services.
Darwin Initiative Round 32 is now open for applications! A new round of funding to support ambitious projects delivering impact for biodiversity and communities.
From scaling successful approaches to strengthening locally led conservation, explore key lessons shared by projects working on the front line of biodiversity action.
