Synopsis (short abstract) This document introduces how agroforestry coffee improves resilience and ensures livelihoods in the context of climate risk and access to markets. Our intention is to reflect on the benefits and constraints of agroforestry coffee production, good practices for facilitating a fair and sustainable value chain, and what is needed for promoting and maintaining the adoption of said practices. It presents activities performed in Malawi and Uganda by the Slow Food Coffee Coalition (SFCC), whose approach highlights the importance of engaging all actors from the coffee value chain to allow for the strengthened livelihoods of coffee growers. It also offers a curated list of materials and sources of information on the concepts introduced.

    This study aims to analyze the coffee value chain in Uganda and identify opportunities and constraints for enhancing youth employment. Coffee is one of the key agricultural commodities in the Government of Uganda’s pursuance of sustainable growth and job creation, especially for the rapidly expanding youth population. The study outlines a significant number of job opportunities for young people along this value chain, not only in production but increasingly in processing, trade and marketing, as well as service provision. It also suggests strategic upgrading options and outlines concrete policy actions to maximize youth participation in and benefits from the coffee sub-sector.
