This study examines how the K’Ho community in Lâm Đồng Province, Vietnam, is building grassroots resilience to climate change in sustainable coffee production. Using a critical qualitative approach through case studies, the research analyzes data from in-depth interviews, field observations, focus group discussions, and document analysis involving K’Ho coffee farmers, women in farming households, community elders, young farmers, agricultural extension workers, local government officials, and cooperative actors. Findings indicate that rising temperatures, seasonal uncertainty, changing rainfall patterns, increased wind intensity, drought, frost, hail, floods, and landslides not only disrupt coffee productivity but also increase production costs, weaken income security, and deepen household socioeconomic vulnerability. However, the K’Ho community is not simply a passive victim of climate change. They are developing adaptation strategies through branch pruning, the use of disease-resistant varieties, shade tree planting, the use of mulch and manure, water conservation, coffee drying management, the use of weather information, participation in training, income diversification, and seeking financial support. This study proposes the concept of layered grassroots resilience to explain how resilience is formed through interconnected adaptation practices at the crop, garden, landscape, and household levels. By positioning climate adaptation as a socio-ecological process and a social justice issue, this article contributes to debates on social development, sustainable livelihoods, and the resilience of agrarian minority communities in Southeast Asia.
