In collaboration with the Coffee Institute of Costa Rica and Triptico Consultants, we investigated and co-authored the first Gender Policy in Coffee in Costa Rica.
This comprehensive document provides guidelines for major areas of the gap faced by smallholder women coffee farmers, along with women in coffee across the value chain.
In addition, it provides major policy and action recommendations that various national and regional entities can implement to reduce the gender gap in coffee farming communities.
