CLIMATE WAVE COFFEE SOLUTION
1.1
Grow coffee plants under the shade of trees
To solve:
Deforestation
This Climate Wave Coffee Solution's alignment with other globally recognizable social and environmental justice frameworks
PROJECT DRAWDOWN
Tropical Forest Restoration
Shade-grown coffee promotes the preservation and restoration of tropical forests by maintaining tree cover in coffee-growing regions. This directly contributes to tropical forest restoration efforts, which are crucial for carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation.
PROJECT DRAWDOWN
Multistrata Agroforestry
Growing coffee under the shade of trees is a form of agroforestry, a practice that integrates trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes. Agroforestry is recognized by Project Drawdown as a solution with significant potential to sequester carbon, improve soil health, and enhance biodiversity.
