Co-benefits
The People
Our work impacts people the most, and we want to celebrate that.
of our registered farmers are women
income uplift for a participating family against its baseline annual income
of participating families are internally displaced or belong to indigenous communities
paid on average to each family by the program so far
The Land
Biochar is a powerful soil amendment with compounding benefits. Once it’s back in the soil, it improves water retention, nutrient availability and microbial life.
Our biochar holds more than twice its dry weight in water
reduction in soil acidity from the addition of our biochar (per our 2-year coffee trials)
Our biochar locks carbon in soil for more than 1,000 years
The Program
The building blocks of our programs are our clusters. We work to leave them better off than when we entered them.
local jobs are created per cluster: three extension workers and a cluster leader
families per cluster are trained on regenerative practices
stays in the territory per cluster, in family payments and field salaries
The impact stays where the coffee grows
There are over 560,000 coffee producers in Colombia, and we plan to reach every one of them.
