摘要

Understanding the vulnerability of coffee production to shifting climate patterns is a global concern. In the Colombian Andes, specifically within the Chinchiná river basin (CRB), where the local economy relies heavily on coffee production, we investigate how coffee serves as a mediator between the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and local producers. Our qualitative/quantitative study at nine coffee farms focuses on the strong events of El Niño and La Niña during 2009–2010, 2010–2011, and 2015–2016. Monthly data from ground-based pluviometers and CHIRPS satellite-derived rainfall data, covering the entire study area, are integrated. Coupled with an examination of land surface temperature and vegetation activity using MODIS, we unveil relationships between climate, geography, and vegetation in this coffee-production zone. Orographic features significantly impact rainfall, concentrated in the most susceptible yet most suitable coffee area, which is also vulnerable to pest infestations enhanced by climate extremes. This research sheds light on socioeconomic and environmental dynamics, enhancing our understanding of how climate variability impacts production of coffee in the CRB.
