Pioneering Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming that aims to improve soil health and fertility - as well as protect water resources and biodiversity. Healthier soils are more resilient to the impacts of climate change and can increase yields, helping improve farmers' livelihoods.
To aid responsibly sourced coffee efforts, NESCAFÉ is rejuvenating coffee plants; either through pruning existing coffee trees or replacing them with disease and climate-change resistant varieties. These new coffee plantlets will help rejuvenate coffee plots and increase yields through higher productivity and quality.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Regenerative agriculture also contributes to drawing down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and storing more carbon in the soil. NESCAFÉ aims to contribute to halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It will work with farmers, suppliers and partners to help protect agricultural lands, enhance biodiversity and help prevent deforestation. In line with NESTLÉ coffee sustainability ideals, NESCAFÉ intends to help farmers plant more than 20 million trees at or near their coffee farms.
Responsibly Sourced Coffee Includes Improving Farmers' Livelihoods
The farmers we work with are key on our sustainability journey, so we want to work with them to adopt regenerative agriculture practices and to improve their livelihoods.
NESCAFÉ will provide farmers with training to help in the transition to regenerative agriculture, as well as high-yielding coffee plantlets. We will work with the farmers to test and learn which initiatives work best in which countries that we source our coffee from.
As well as training, NESCAFÉ will pilot financial support schemes that aim to help farmers improve their income through transitioning to regenerative agriculture which including conditional cash incentives for adopting regenerative agriculture practices, income protection using weather insurance and greater access to credit lines for farmers.
Regenerative agriculture and responsibly sourced coffee encompasses improving soil health and planting higher quality coffee plantlets which should produce higher yields and therefore improve farmer livelihoods.
