Algo + Que la Roya Del Café

About the event

Al comenzar la cosecha de café en la Eco Aldea, nos percatamos que nuestros vecinos tienen poco o casi nada que cosechar. Sus parcelas están totalmente diezmadas. Si tradicionalmente Republica Dominicana era exportador de café, hoy su producción cubre solo un mes del consumo/anual, las importaciones representan el 92% de lo consumido

Algunos, no muchos, comienzan a introducir nuevas variedades (sin conocer su origen ni comportamiento local), la mayoría se limitan a la añoranza de las pasadas bonanzas.

La situación de descalabro de la caficultura Dominicana no debe exclusivamente atribuirse al nuevo brote de Roya que afecta las zonas cafetaleras.

las zonas cafetaleras se encontraban deprimidas y abandonadas hace ya muchos años, practicándose una agricultura que podría definirse como “Extractiva” solo se acude al momento de la cosecha… Los bajos precios y rentabilidad negativa fortalecieron esa tendencia.

La Roya, es una enfermedad transmitida por un hongo… que ha reaparecido en una nueva epidemia. Ya en 1869 se reporta una de las “primeras epidemias” de roya del café ocurrida en lo que hoy es Sri Lanca / La enfermedad fue observada por primera vez en África (1866) donde pasó desapercibida, por ser el sitio donde mayor diversidad ocurre Avelino, J. Rivas, G., (2013).

Para el 2008 se informa de su presencia en Colombia y en el 2010 se reporta de la introducción de razas más virulentas de Roya en el país. Entre las posibles causas que determinan la epidemia: Se señalan:

• Cambio climático

• Vulnerabilidad de las variedades, dada su uniformidad (derivadas del C. Arábica)

• Cepas del hongo más virulentas.

• Inadecuadas /ausencia de prácticas agronómicas. entre otras…

Las medidas adoptadas para enfrentar el brote epidemico de roya se han limitado a la introduccion de nuevas variedades y/o la aplicacion de fungicidas cupricos y sistemicos.

Compartimos las propuestas de Graciela Godoy (2013) que ha sugerido colectar esporas del hongo en

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
