Long-term Vision: A world in which all coffee farming households earn at least a living income, where risk and value are distributed fairly throughout the supply chain and where coffee is a thriving part of a healthy ecosystem.
Strategy 2025: Through convening, sourcing and branding practices, and field level impact, living income and climate resilience in coffee have become the norm and distribution of risk and value have been rebalanced.
Convening:
- Supporting existing institutions in tabling issues such as living income and value distribution.
- Linking convening discussions to action on the ground through alignment of origin programs
Partnerships with Private Sector:
Developing strategic partnerships with brands and traders to source for living income and fair value distribution and take a supply chain outlook rather than focus on farmer programs.
Origin programs:
Building evidence and learnings through field level interventions and local convening in four origins.
