Organic Fertilizers in Coffee Plantations: A Theoretical Framework Analysis from Eastern Uganda
Abstract
Coffee plantations in Eastern Uganda have adopted organic fertilizers as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers due to environmental concerns and increasing costs of synthetic inputs.

The theoretical framework highlights the interplay between environmental sustainability, economic viability, and social acceptance in organic fertilizer adoption among coffee farmers. Policy makers should consider subsidizing organic fertilizers to promote wider adoption and improve soil health while reducing dependency on chemical inputs.
