• The ambivalent impact of coffee certification on farmers' welfare: A matched panel approach for cooperatives in Central Kenya (2016, background): “In a similar vein, Philpotts, Bichier, Rice, and Greenberg (2007) provide evidence of scarce biodiversity and limited shading on certified coffee farms, whereas Van der Vossen (2005) shows that certified coffee production competes for labor and nutrients with other farming activities.”
• A Review of Ecosystem Services, Farmer Livelihoods, and Value Chains in Shade Coffee Agroecosystems (2011, background): “Specialty coffee (e.g. organic, fair trade, and shade-grown coffee) accounts for approximately 9–12% of all coffee production (Raynolds et al. 2007; Van der Vossen 2005) of which Mexico, Central America, Columbia, and Peru are the market leaders (Lewin et al. 2004).”
• Fair Trade organic coffee production in Nicaragua — Sustainable development or a poverty trap? (2009, background): “With higher intensities of management organic yields may be even lower than one-third of conventional yields (van der Vossen, 2005).”
• Does eco-certification have environmental benefits? Organic coffee in Costa Rica (2012, background): “From coffee growers’ perspective, organic certification has both benefits and costs (Giovanuci and Ponte 2005; Van der Vossen 2005; Calo and Wise 2005).”
• Agronomic and economic benefits of coffee-banana intercropping in Uganda's smallholder farming systems (2011, background): “In addition, N and K requirements are high for both coffee (Van der Vossen, 2005) and banana (Bazira et al., 1997).”
• The Economics of Smallholder Organic Contract Farming in Tropical Africa (2009, background): “…normally lower yields), 1 none of the handful of existing economic studies of organic farming in the tropics (Bacon, 2005; Bray, Sanchez, & Murphy, 2002; Carpenter, 2003; Damiani, 2002; Lyngbaek, Muschler, & Sinclair, 2001; Van der Vossen, 2005) report comprehensive farm budget-related survey data.”
