Sustainable Coffee Project Update #2

As coffee production continues to threaten Earth’s remaining high elevation forests, 2023 is proving to be an exciting year for our sustainable coffee program (now called, Global Coffee Solution).

This year we have boots on the ground and planes in the sky!

Since my previous update, our research teams have been working to bring more efficiency and credibility to on-the-ground (and in the air!) data collection from coffee farms.

Our biggest news of the year so far:

More updates

We met with Dr. Jane Goodall in Montreal this June to discuss next steps in forest-mapping and carbon sequestration science.

We continue to conduct meetings and presentations with key members of the Honduran government to push forward the process of legalizing the Yoro Biological Corridor. The response has been slow, but our teams continue to put pressure on officials.

Our forest conservation students in training have completed their degrees and two of them are now employed with the US Forest Service and continue work in the Yoro Biological Corridor.

This is a Sustainable Coffee Story

Meaning, it’s a work in progress. Started in 1994, it involves more than 25 years of sustainable coffee development history. It involves 3 main partner organizations (in Canada, US, and Honduras) connected by their mission to save tropical forests and their biodiversity via coffee. I’ll post updates will be whenever there are significant development to the story.
