Imagine

Envision a prosperous coffee sector and assess how existing strategies address coffee farmer income and prosperity.
  • What does ‘prosperous’ mean in our country context?
  • How can we combine economic, social, and environmental objectives?
  • How is economic resilience and farmer income addressed in our current strategies?
  • What resources has the country already managed to mobilize? And how can they be directed toward the coffee sector and farmer income?
  • Identify the vision at various levels: economic, social and environmental.
  • Explore trade-offs that may exist between these levels (e.g. environmental versus economic goals)
  • Agree on a high-level vision.

Creating a ‘Prosperity Tree’ helps to visualize common goals, challenges and solutions

Preparation: Draw a simple outline of a tree or coffee bush to explain the exercise.

1. Ask Group: what are the root problems faced by coffee farmers in your country? Write down challenges on sticky notes and place them at the base of the tree.

Step back, reflect.

2. Ask Group: now what are some of the critical interventions that are or could address these root problems? Write these down on a different colored sticky notes and place them along the trunk & branches of the tree.

Step back, reflect.

3. Ask Group: consider what we have written, what are the desired outcomes – the fruits – we want to harvest from these strategies?  Write these on sticky notes of a 3rd color and place them on the top of the tree.

4. Ask Participants: Post their trees on the wall, all reflect on them and then vote for strategies they see as priorities.

Materials – flip chart paper, 3 colors of sticky notes, small red dots, markers.
