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.
