The extent to which coffee agroforestry systems provide ecosystem services depends on local context and management practices. There is a paucity of information about how and why farmers manage their plantations in the way that they do and the local knowledge that underpins this. This research compares knowledge from coffee-growing areas bordering key forest reserves in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Guatemala. Knowledge was acquired from over 170 farmers in a stratified purposive sample, using established knowledge based systems methods. Farmers in all 3 countries had detailed knowledge about how trees affected ecosystem services such as soil formation, erosion control, provision of wildlife habitat and water conservation. Links between trees an...
