Global scientific coffee growing and the montanhas Capixabas: the production of arabic coffee growing in Caparaó and Serrana regions of the Espírito Santo state (Brazil)

The aim of this article is to demonstrate the expansion and consolidation of the Arábica coffee growing on the Montanhas Capixabas (ES), distinguishing its two producing regions: Serrana and Caparaó. These regions have many common features like a secular coffee production and smallholdings with a single family with a mixture of cash crops (principally coffee) and subsistence farming. However each region throughout its history had different ways of use and organization of their territories that enable distinct ways of appropriation of material, symbolic and in-person service attributes to coffee growing.
