Climate Change disaster response team in a coffee plantation area of Guatemala
Hi
Meredith Waters from Washington DC, USA and me, Fernando Roque from Guatemala are developing a project to build a disaster response team in a coffee plantation area of the south east of Guatemala. This area has been hit during the last ten years with several disasters and tropical storms due to Climate Change. Will appreciate any suggestions to improve the quality and deliverables to the community.
In change we recommend you to read this link about how good practices in coffee plantation can help to buffer the climate change effects. http://www.physorg.com/news142052464.html

Hola amigos. He tenido experiencia con recuperación rápida de cafetales. ¿puedes enviarme en digital un análisis de fertilidad de suelos de un sector próximo al cafetal? He visto recuperaciones muy exitosas con sistemas poco convencionales conociendo de cerca la interacción suelo-planta. Quisiera ayudarles a la distancia, pero requiero datos básicos: (1)análsis de suelos; (2)descripción básica del clima y altitud, lluvias predominantes, etc.; (3)descripción básica del sistema de cultivo que han empleado los últimos tres años (sombra, exposición solar, variedad de cafeto empleadas, tipo de fertilización de han utilizado, cobertura vegetal asociada a las plantaciones de café, etc.); (4)información cultural y socioeconómica básica de las comunidades aledañas. Hemos ayudado a lograr rendimientos mínimos de 60 quintales netos por hectárea hasta 120 qq/ha con variedades originales y en sombra. Mi mail: samuel.antonio.scarpato@gmail.com
