Breeding for the Main Agricultural Farming of Arabica Coffee [PDF]
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 So far, the main Arabica coffee breeding programmes in Latin America have focused on the selection of varieties adapted to intensive full-sun farming systems. Meanwhile, little attention has been paid to breeding varieties specifically adapted to shade, which is the main characteristic of agroforestry systems (AFS).
