SUMMARY:

The Brazilian coffee industry has great productive potential, as it has support from large scientific institutions and experienced organizations in the coffee sector, has a favorable climate and excellent agro-ecosystem for cultivation and good distribution systems. However, the continuous extraction of various sectors of the economy without replacement of natural resources, since the Industrial Revolution and encouraged by the Green Revolution, after World War II, raises a warning regarding coffee production in Brazil, as the country is the largest producer of the grain in the world. The unbridled exploitation of the ecosystem leads us to consider climate change as one of the main current challenges for agriculture, as they are consequences of the imbalance between human exploitation and the availability of natural resources. Given this context, the objective of this study will be to comparatively analyze the areas of organic and conventional coffee production, taking into account aspects of coffee development and ways of mitigating the impact of climate change on this production system. For the development of this work, a literature review on climate change and its effects on agriculture and especially on coffee production in Brazil is carried out, contextualizing the influences of the Industrial Revolution and Green Revolution on the global climate. The work will bring ways and methods to mitigate the effects of climate change in organic and conventional coffee production sites in the southern region of Minas Gerais, enabling its applicability in any production area. The methodological proposal will be to analyze, in a randomized block design, the certified organic and conventional crops with fair trade certification (Fairtrade) in the region covered by the Cooperative of Family Farmers of Poço Fundo - Ltda. (COOPFAM), carrying out a survey of the productive vulnerability of these areas to climate change.
