The effects of climate change such as prolonged droughts and unreliable weather patterns adversely impact smallholder coffee growing farmers in Uganda. To mitigate this, the three active Feed the Future Alliance for Resilient Coffee (ARC) consortium partners in the country; Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung (HRNS), International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and World Coffee Research have joined forces to implement various climate interventions. These include; trainings on climate-smart practices, setting up of demonstration plots for research and educational purposes and other undertakings. ARC is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of the U.S. Government’s food security initiative, Feed the Future  and is made up of seven consortium members.
