Reducing synthetic pesticide use in agriculture is a global priority with far-reaching implications for environmental sustainability, public health, and biodiversity. In coffee cultivation, the urgency is heightened due to the sector's reliance on chemical inputs to achieve productivity. The ECOFFEE initiative, launched in 2020, addresses this challenge by fostering collaborative, multisectoral solutions aimed at phasing out highly toxic pesticides and promoting sustainable alternatives. On October 1-2, 2024, ECOFFEE, in partnership with CATIE and Finca Aquiares, convened the workshop “Multisectoral Dialogue: Towards the Reduction of Synthetic Pesticide Use in Coffee Cultivation” in Turrialba, Costa Rica. The event brought together 39 stakeholders from across Costa Rica's coffee value chain, including researchers, producers' representative, policymakers, and private sector representatives, to discuss about developing actionable strategies for transitioning toward more sustainable practices
