Going Climate Smart with Costa Coffee
Leading coffee companies are investing in climate mitigation projects within their agricultural supply chains. Costa Coffee and the Rainforest Alliance designed a pilot study to measure the carbon footprint of Rainforest Alliance Certified farmers in Brazil, Colombia, and Honduras. This study sought to quantify carbon emissions from coffee production and processing, identify emission hotspots, and propose reduction pathways through the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices within Costa Coffee’s supply chain.
Together, Costa Coffee and the Rainforest Alliance will build on the learnings from this project and explore intervention pathways that work with farmers to reduce their emissions.
