Abstract
Coffee is the most important commodity in Ethiopia, contributing to the national for national
economy, and social life, and cultural value in Ethiopia. Conversely, climate change provides
serious challenges to coffee production through increasing temperatures, uneven rainfall, and
increased pests and diseases. This review highlight for surveys sustainable coffee production
practices in Ethiopia, particularly on coffee shade management systems, coffee agroforestry and
their advantages on climate change mitigation while enhancing coffee quality and ecosystem
system health. The presence of shade trees moderates’ temperature extremes lowers evaporation
and improves water retention which helps coffee plants withstand climatic unevenness. In
addition, shade systems provide habitats for diverse species, increasing biological diversity and
ecological resilience. Agroforestry sequesters carbon in their biomass and soils, acting as carbon
sinks that reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases. Assimilating Utilization of nitrogen-fixing and
deep-rooted tree species improves nutrient cycling and reduces soil erosion. These systems
support diversified farm products such as fruits, timber and fodder increasing farmer income and
reducing economic risks. Furthermore, Traditional coffee forests and improved shade-based
coffee systems demonstrate the potential of sustainable practices to adapt to climate change and
mitigate its impacts. Promoting shade management and agroforestry in coffee landscapes
enhances carbon sequestration, protects biodiversity, conserves soil and water resources and
strengthens rural livelihoods. These all conditions enhance coffee plant resilience to climate
variability while improving soil fertility through organic matter inputs and nutrient cycling.
Therefore, sustainable coffee production practices, particularly shade and agroforestry
integration, are vital for climate change mitigation and long-term resilience of Ethiopian coffee
sectors. Overall, the review highlights that shade-based coffee systems and agroforestry
practices offer environmentally sustainable, climate-smart solutions for Ethiopian coffee
production. Promoting these practices can simultaneously mitigate climate change, conserve
biodiversity, and support sustainable rural livelihoods. Finally, very few studies were
conducted indicating the need for more research.
