  • Shade Coffee in Biological Corridors

    Open AccessSteven RomanoffARTICLECulture & Agriculture2010

    Might the cost of certifying coffee farms limit the capacity of certification to cover a landscape and protect biodiversity? Gobbi simulated financial viability and Taylor and colleagues asked, “Does the premium pay off?” but there is little empirical evidence.
