Envisioning the future for southwestern Ethiopia / Egeree kibba lixa Itoophiyaa agarsiisuu

Southwestern Ethiopia is a globally recognised biodiversity hotspot, the place of origin of coffee, and home to millions of smallholder farmers. Both the lives of these farmers and the natural environment in southwestern Ethiopia are rapidly changing. How can such change be navigated to ensure the best possible outcomes for both people and the environment? This small book is an invitation to envisage what the future might hold for southwestern Ethiopia, and how it can be shaped in such a way that it delivers the greatest benefits to Ethiopia and its people.
