The objective of this presentation is to show how better decisions and disease risk-adapted agroforestry practices, for coffee growing regions, can be derived, based on spatial decision support tools and ground data. Justifications Patchiness in the distribution of plant pests and diseases due to spatial heterogeneity of the environment and the agronomic management. Environmental information can be combined with spatial analyses to determine potential pests and diseases distribution, make better decisions and improve the risk management. 

Pests and diseases of bananas (Musa spp.) threaten the livelihoods of over 20 million people in the Great Lakes region. Geographic information systems (GIS) provide valuable tools in monitoring, predicting, managing and fighting the spread of pests and diseases. The tools offer opportunities for cost-effective and efficient targeting of control interventions. In monitoring, GIS can be used to determine the spatial extent of a disease, to identify spatial patterns of the disease and to link the disease to auxiliary spatial data.

This paper presents an introduction to agrometeorological crop yield forecasting (ACYF) methods. Such methods attempt to quantitatively assess the effect of weather vagaries on regional crop yields before harvest. The paper insists on the fact that all ACYF approaches are eventually calibrated against traditional yield statistics obtained through sampling procedures.
