About
Dr. Jordi Cruz is a leading researcher in sustainable coffee production, specializing in the integrated management of major pests and diseases within agroforestry systems. His work focuses on the complex interactions between Coffee Berry Borer (CBB), Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR), and the ecological dynamics of Coffee Agroforestry Systems (CAFS). Dr. Cruz’s major contribution is a landmark systematic literature review that synthesizes fragmented research on pest and disease control in these biodiverse environments. This study, which has already garnered 4 citations since its 2024 publication, critically identifies a significant gap: the absence of comprehensive literature reviews or bibliometric analyses in this field. By systematically evaluating management strategies, Dr. Cruz provides a crucial framework for researchers and practitioners, highlighting effective biological controls and cultural practices while pinpointing areas needing further investigation. His work is essential for advancing climate-resilient coffee cultivation, offering evidence-based pathways to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides and enhance the sustainability of coffee farming worldwide.
