This fact sheet outlines a research project led by the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala to examine the costs, benefits, and environmental impacts of certification seals, fair trade programs, and organic production for small coffee producers in Central America facing climate change.

• The research project aims to evaluate how certification seals, fair trade programs, and organic production affect the income, livelihoods, adaptive capacity, and environment of small coffee growers, as the impact of complying with these rules remains uncertain.
• The project's goals include determining the cost-benefit balance of certifications for small farmers, studying environmental changes on farms under these standards, understanding the effect of these standards on local microclimate regulation, and linking future climate changes to plantation productivity.
• Initial project results include the development of field research protocols, the installation of four weather stations in areas with critical coffee pests, a certification label analysis conducted with Rainforest Alliance, and the selection of a sample of certified and non-certified producers.
