Digital Coffee Farmer provide to interested farmers the knowledge and opportunity to improve the management of their property and the quality of their coffee, adopting the computer and internet as tools of support and research \u2013 about climate, prices, markets, productions techniques, etc. \u2013 and best agricultural practices in order to obtain a health product, free of contamination (physical, biological and chemical), therefore, helping to increase profitability within their business while ensuring sustainability to the environment and for rural population.<\/p>\n
Conceived in 2006, to attend family farms, small farmers or rural workers, with the purpose of encouraging digital inclusion so they can learn about IT and understand concepts of Internet access as a tool for working in the field and managing the coffee farm.<\/p>\n
In 2016, Cecaf\u00e9 recognized the need to improve this project and, in partnership with the Global Coffee Platform, decided to expand the scope of its activity, previously restricted to digital inclusion, to include the sharing of best agricultural practice, with an emphasis on sustainability. This partnership allowed Cecaf\u00e9 to strengthen cooperation terms with extension workers, who provide agricultural technicians to run courses in order to train farmers, using their own materials, especially in relation to sustainable actions for the Brazilian coffee industry.<\/p>\n
At the end of the course, Field Days where the students graduate will be held at various locations in the primary coffee producing regions.<\/p>\n
