In contrast, organic coffee farming encourages sustainability, multilayered crop production and a rich array of wildlife. Farmers who practice organic coffee farming methods depend on organic matter to fertilize plants and by using these materials, mimic the natural processes of growth and decay.

Organic coffee farming encourages beneficial insects and a healthier, more resistant crop.
Mulching with organic materials and growing coffee under a canopy of trees decreases the need for irrigation and conserves water.

By growing citrus and fruit-bearing trees in the upper story (a process known as diversification), the canopy serves the dual purpose of providing organic mulch for the understory and food for the community.

We all have the ability to make change through our spending habits and supporting organically grown coffee is one way to promote social justice and a healthy global environment. By choosing organic coffee, you support change that starts at the level of the coffee growing communities and that will benefit people and the planet for generations to come
