<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The objective of this assignment is to establish demonstration models to contribute to increasing income for coffee farming households, in addition to training to improve awareness of farming techniques, rational use
of water and agricultural chemicals as well as intercropping. In these demonstration models, synchronous farming techniques shall be applied in the direction of adapting to climate change in localities to increase coffee productivity and diversify income in
a sustainable and effective way. Through demonstration models, trainers, group leaders and farmers can grasp the basic processes to apply to their gardens and replicate in surrounding areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
