Summary
Coffee growers' daily interactions with their landscape hold significant implications for the sustainable management of Colombia's UNESCO-listed Coffee Cultural Landscape. This study reveals that beyond historical influence, coffee growers actively shape and redefine their cultural heritage through everyday practices rooted in socio-cultural and spatial traditions. Using a phenomenological-interpretative approach, researchers identified key values and meanings assigned to farms by growers, which guide processes of appropriation, valuation, and vindication of rural heritage. These findings provide actionable insights for heritage conservation strategies, emphasizing the importance of local perspectives in sustainable landscape management.
