| Popis: | Smallholder coffee farmers in Latin America depend on global supply chains for their livelihood, and many join certified cooperatives to increase access to fair prices. In order to find out what a fair price is, we designed CalcuCafe, a tool for coffee farmers to calculate their cost of production. An evaluation in Peru uncovered tensions between coffee farmers and cooperative technicians, highlighting barriers to information transparency at the production level. Our ongoing work to address these barriers strives to support the long-term viability of smallholder coffee producers, a sizable yet marginalized group at the intersection of HCI for sustainable agriculture and HCI for development. |
