Global Coffee Solution

Our Coffee Habit Can Regrow Forests

Global Coffee Solution strives to be the world’s most sustainable coffee program. This project reduces coffee’s carbon footprint to the minimum, and is designed to partner with farmers in regrowing forests on a mass scale in order to mitigate climate change.

Sustainable Coffee Project Updates

Update #1 – This is a Sustainable Coffee Project
You are reading the very first Sustainable Coffee Project update! As part of the development team, I am committed to documenting and reporting on the latest achievements of this coffee & carbon initiative, that has a history spanning more than two decades.
Update #2 – Drones, Soil Analysis & Choice Survey
As coffee production continues to threaten Earth’s remaining high elevation forests, this year is proving to be an exciting one for Global Coffee Solution because we now have boots on the ground and drones in the sky!
Update #3 – Drone Maps & Research Studies
Despite the recent bad news that many coffee projects have lost critical funding and future finance opportunities due to the recent shut-down of USAID, we push forward with our work on the Global Coffee Solution and are excited to be sharing these positive updates.

Coffee & Forest Project, Eh?
Coffee has a major carbon footprint that centers around deforestation. Coffee farms are replacing forests and it’s been widely published that coffee production would need to triple by 2050 to keep up with the growing demand. Enter: Integrated Open Canopy Coffee Farming
My Job as a Video Game
Sometimes my job feels rather epic. So much so, that I was inspired to take some of our research and turn the data into a quest! Coffee and the Wild is a new, imagined video game about saving forests using sustainable coffee production. And it contains a few subtle nods to the incredibly popular video game, Breath of the Wild.
Pitch for Sustainable Coffee
Pitching sustainable coffee to the business world is difficult and complicated. For starters, pitching any type of real sustainability to an industry built on a history of extraction and exploitation is a double-edged sword. For one, it’s needed badly — which is great for pitching! On the other hand, it’s expensive — which is awful for pitching!
