Summary
This paper, published in the IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science (2025), presents findings on the application of regenerative agriculture principles as a framework for Good Agricultural Practices in arabica coffee production in North Sumatra, Indonesia. It likely proposes or evaluates a set of soil-health-oriented management guidelines informed by regenerative approaches such as reduced tillage, organic inputs, or cover cropping adapted to smallholder coffee systems. The work contributes to an emerging evidence base for contextually appropriate, sustainability-oriented agricultural standards in tropical perennial crop systems.
UK applicability
The findings are directly applicable to Indonesian arabica coffee-growing regions and have limited direct relevance to UK agricultural conditions. However, the methodological approach to developing regenerative GAP frameworks may offer transferable lessons for UK policymakers and certification bodies seeking to integrate soil health criteria into domestic agricultural standards.
Key measures
Soil health indicators (likely including organic matter content, microbial activity, or nutrient availability); GAP compliance metrics; possibly yield or plant health measures
Outcomes reported
The study likely examines soil health indicators and practical Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) recommendations derived from regenerative agriculture principles applied to arabica coffee cultivation in North Sumatra. It probably reports on soil biological, chemical, or physical parameters as indicators of soil condition under different management approaches.
