Coffee, Cocoa and Climate Change Project
In 2023, we completed our ‘Coffee, Cocoa and Climate Change’ project in Nicaragua, in partnership with the German development agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
Designed to improve the productivity of smallholder coffee and cocoa farms, the three-year project saw 100,000 native and climate-resilient forest, coffee and cocoa trees planted.
In addition, 320+ producers – 30% of whom were women – received training on good agricultural practices such as soil conservation, crop diversification and integrated pest management as well as financial skills in 2023. An essential part of the project was empowering local women, supporting them in establishing tree nurseries to create jobs and build a stronger local economy.
