Environmental coffee initiatives have taken some major hits lately. The shut-down of USAID (which halted critical funding to many international development projects), and the constant delays that have been placed on the European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (which seeks to ban all coffee imports that cause deforestation) are the most relevant examples that come to mind.

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; a.k.a. ‘Global Coffee Solution’. This year we have boots on the ground and planes in the sky!
