"From Colombia to Kenya and Java to Jamaica - it's the ones who make their living from the soil who know how to grow their coffee respectfully. When your whole crop depends on the climate, you care more. No one has to convince these farmers to make choices that protect their coffee and look after the planet. When you know that one day you'll hand your farm over to your sons and daughters, you care more about the kind of tomorrow you're creating. These farmers make choices that respect people - their communities - the next generation of coffee farmers."
We've worked with the ones who make choices taste better for over 80 years now. Because of our proximity and collaboration with the farmers across the world's coffee belt of origins, we get to join the dots. The good choices one farmer makes in Brazil to prevent deforestation can help the farmer across the world in Ethiopia do the same. When one farmer in India creates greater biodiversity by intercropping, the coffee grower in Guatemala stands to gain. Our role is to be a catalyst for sharing best practices between the hundreds of thousands of farmers we work with across 15 countries. Now that's a network of know-how that tastes better!
