Abstract: Abstract Like so many small farmers today, small coffee farmers face serious chal lenges to their well-being and survival. Some of these challenges, price risk among them, have intensified with the globalization, liberalization, commercialization, and financialization of the world’s food systems over the past several decades. Periodic, catastrophic price crises, along with short-term volatility and long-term declines in coffee prices, compromise farmers’ access to food, water, shelter, fuel, medicine, education, and investment opportu nity, eroding the freedom of farmers and their families to live decent, happy, and healthy lives.
