Price premiums to incentivize smallholder farmers transition to shade-grown coffee systems

Shade-grown coffee
August 2016 to December 2017
Latinamerica
Description

I estimated and analyzed price premiums to incentivize smallholder farmers to switch to sustainable agricultural practices that conserve forest. These premiums were compared with current market instruments and premiums that US coffee consumers are willing to pay for specific environmental outcomes according with a 1341 participants survey that I proposed, designed and analyzed.
