ABSTRACT Coffee farmers are already experiencing the impacts of climate change, yet recommended resilience strategies are often cost-prohibitive for smallholder producers and/or maladapted to local conditions and contexts. We collaborated with smallholder coffee cooperatives in Latin America to assess the feasibility of climate change resilience strategies they selected: crop diversification; rainwater collection systems; pest monitoring and management; collective coffee seed banks and nurseries; and solar coffee dryers. Data was collected through key actor and cooperative leader semi-structured interviews and focus groups with cooperative members. Our results provide criteria that can be used to determine if these five resilience strategies are appropriate for given environmental, socioeconomic, and political contexts. They also demonstrate the need for tailoring resilience strategies to fit local conditions. The framework we applied serves to select appropriate, effective and equitable resilience strategies, combining a participatory action research approach to incorporate local knowledge, capital assets analysis for a holistic and realistic understanding of feasibility, and access analysis for an assessment of who will benefit and who will not. This framework can be applied to assess the feasibility of climate change resilience strategies with smallholders in a wide variety of geographies, contexts and agroecosystems.

小农气候变化复原力战略可行性评估的参与式框架：拉丁美洲咖啡合作社的经验教训

摘要 咖啡农已经在经历气候变化的影响，但推荐的复原策略对于小农生产者来说往往成本过高和/或不适应当地条件和环境。我们与拉丁美洲的小农咖啡合作社合作，评估他们选择的气候变化适应战略的可行性：作物多样化；雨水收集系统；有害生物监测和管理；集体咖啡种子库和苗圃；和太阳能咖啡烘干机。数据是通过主要参与者和合作领导半结构化访谈以及与合作成员的焦点小组收集的。我们的结果提供了可用于确定这五种弹性策略是否适用于特定环境、社会经济和政治背景的标准。它们还表明需要根据当地条件调整复原力策略。我们应用的框架用于选择适当、有效和公平的复原力战略，结合参与式行动研究方法以纳入当地知识、资本资产分析以全面和现实地了解可行性，以及评估谁将受益和谁受益的访问分析将不会。该框架可用于评估针对各种地理、环境和农业生态系统的小农的气候变化复原力战略的可行性。结合参与式行动研究方法以纳入当地知识、资本资产分析以全面和现实地了解可行性，以及访问分析以评估谁将受益，谁不会受益。该框架可用于评估各种地理、环境和农业生态系统中小农的气候变化复原力战略的可行性。结合参与式行动研究方法以纳入当地知识、资本资产分析以全面和现实地了解可行性，以及访问分析以评估谁将受益，谁不会受益。该框架可用于评估针对各种地理、环境和农业生态系统的小农的气候变化复原力战略的可行性。
