Environmental assets in Coffee value chains. Your perspective

Planet2050 and Coffee Impact Collective have launched the Coffee Regenerative Program to better bridge coffee farmers involved in Carbon and Biodiversity Credit projects with sustainability-focused buyers in the coffee value chains (read our blog post here) Since addressing climate issues requires collaboration, your perspective and role as stakeholder in the value chain is essential! Your insights and interest in this growing field will be very valuable.
Our team is preparing a dedicated event during COP16 in Cali focusing on the context of smallholder farms in Colombia. The anonymized results of this survey will be shared there and with you!
