Research focus
In her doctoral research, Sophie explores the impacts of climate change on the coffee value chain in East Africa and identify pathways to adapt. Applying econometric methods using household and value chain data, she aims to better understand how weather shocks impact the different steps of the coffee value chain in Uganda (production, storage, processing and sales) and the climate change adaptation potential of introducing indigenous coffee species to the world market.
