Stakeholders in Kenya's coffee sector are advocating for the integration of science, technology, and farmer-centric policies to revitalize production and enhance resilience against climate change.

• The call was made during the Science Summit Nairobi 2026, hosted by Landscape Alliance.
• Chief Operating Officer at Landscape Alliance, Philip Osano, emphasized that scientific evidence should guide agricultural investments and development decisions.
• Deputy Director at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO), Dr Tony Maritim, highlighted the need for farmer-centric policies and research into disease-resistant coffee varieties.
• Digital technologies like AI and satellite monitoring are seen as crucial for moving from reactive to predictive threat assessment for farmers.
