Coffee-banana intercropping provides benefits to farmers, from increasing their food production and income, to reducing their workload, to improving household gender dynamics. It also has environmental benefits for soil and water conservation, hence supporting sustainable agricultural production. Farmers’ experimentation and application of the practice is built on traditional knowledge, but further support and exchange of knowledge regarding plant interactions and pest and disease management could identify further innovations for this agroecological system.
